Can't say I took this picture.  I actually found it on a used hard drive, thought it looked like a "keeper", so I'm sharing it with you.

Nikon TW20 auto focus camera

This is my latest acquisition, a Nikon TW20 auto focus, 35mm film camera.  This is NOT a new model, but it is a Nikon.  If you've been a fan of photography for any length of time, (especially film photography) you already know the Nikon brand name is synonymous with great picture taking capability.  I found this camera at a thrift store last weekend.  The price was a budget busting $3.99.  As is my weekend custom, I'm finding that yard sales, thrift stores, and other such venues are yielding tremendous bargains. (Ebay is a Buyer's paradise right now if you don't mind buying used equipment).  Of  the 5 cameras I've purchased this way, only one has been a "lemon".  But, considering I paid only $2.99 for it, what did I really lose?    

Turkish Mosque

This photo reminds me of my days in the Air Force.  I served in Adana Turkey, at Incirlik Air Force Base.  That was way back in 1975-'76, but I remember it like it was yesterday.  Like anywhere else, some of the  people I met were hospitable, kind and accepting of us American G.I.'s.  And, others were completely hostile because they hated Americans.

Thanksgiving Day Feast

With Thanksgiving Day less than 3 weeks away, you'll want to buy your camera film now, before the prices start to climb.  Retailers know you're going to take lots of photos of family and friends over the holidays so the prices start to climb about 2 weeks prior to the holidays, and continue to remain high until after Christmas. A recent trip to Walmart in my area yielded a 4 pack of Fujifilm ,24 exposures per roll, ISO (film speed) 800 priced at $9.59.  Needless to say I bought the film.  My only mistake was purchasing only one 4 pack.  I like the higher film speeds because it makes room lighting less of an issue.  There is still time to shop online for film from some of the businesses that specifically cater to us "shutterbugs".  But if convenience is a big factor in your buying decision, Walmart, at least for now, seems to have a good price.  If you know of any better sources, feel free to post, and share with the rest of us where you found your bargain price.
