After much deliberation, I recently purchased a Nikon D60 D-SLR. It was a tough decision between Nikon and Canon, but for me the Nikon was the better choice. I’ve been able to take some photos in our downtown, but have been looking for a really great place to spend some time getting more accustomed to the D60.

My wife and I were recently able to visit the place where my Grandmother grew up, and I thought it was a great place to try it out. Although a dairy farm now, when she grew up it was primarily a tobacco farm. It was amazing to hear her explain all that went into a day’s work, and what part she played in each step. She vividly recalled each part of the process, and pointed out each change that time had brought to the farm. It was amazing to be standing in that place, knowing that so many of her memories were held there. Being there and sharing those memories with us brought her so much excitement and happiness; it’s a memory I am very thankful for.
