nikon d60 has landed

Look very carefully. You can see the ball flying perfectly down the middle.

Well, I finally did it.

I bought a Nikon D60 DSLR.

There were a multitude of factors that led to this somewhat impulse purchase two Saturdays ago:

• It was a rare Saturday when ML and I were not together, staring at each other. I had no idea what to do with all of the free time
• I lost my beloved Olympus digital camera on Halloween (once I have access to my albums from that camera, I will pay proper tribute)
• I had collected over $200 of Best Buy credit through some sweet financial negotiations with my credit card (not that sweet)
• I convinced myself into believing that I would be a better photographer with a better camera
• Oh, I almost forgot, it was raining (duh)

Clearly, I had no choice but to realize this purchase. I sought out the advice of a co-worker, photographer extraordinaire. He recommended starter DSLR models from the Nikon and Cannon product lines. I adopted his brand choice and went with Nikon. 

In the 1+ week that I have owned this camera, I have some stats to share:

• ~5% success rate of decent photos to snapped pictures
• 100% annoyance from friends
• 1 jealous Caroyln Shin
• 1 lost camera lens cover (I am alleging that it was stolen)
  
• 1 drop (in a soft patch of dirt thankfully)
• 0 understanding of Aperture, Shutter...

This is going to be fun!

Cathy Shin surprisingly approves of the new toy.
