Friday Shorts
by John Wilson In an effort to get back on track, and an excuse to put up another picture of my son, I thought it may be a good idea to post some of the random thoughts or funny stories that are too long to put on Facebook. Here are a few: Perspective If you’re [...]
New Lenses, New Weather
by John Wilson Due to accidental mishap, I was forced to shop for a new lens for my camera. I dropped my 18 – 55mm “kit” lens that came with my Canon XSi. It was a great little lens that met it’s maker too soon. To replace the lens I started on amazon.com and [...]
