fare thee well, old friend

3 1/2 years ago I had to sell my first automobile, a dark blue 1990 toyota truck. i nearly shed tears thinking about that wonderful truck, which my friend paul called "the icebox" because the AC worked so well and i'll admit i kept it about 45 degrees in there. now i am having a similar experience, as i say goodbye to my trusty camera, the sony f828. i am selling this one and replacing it with sony's new DSLR, "the alpha". word's cannot describe how much i appreciate the 'ol 828, its metal rings, macro setting, tilt body, 2.o-4.5 aperature, 28-200mm focal length, comfortable grip, and sleek design. but times change, and so must i, but not without saying thank you to the camera that brought me to where i am today.

Really enjoying your pics. I actually love the one of Jodi behind the camera. And the one of "Natalie." Good work! ;)

i'm sure your camera will miss you as much as you will it. i can't imagine it having a more appreciative or talented owner.

can't wait to see some new 'alpha' pics!

no, not the f828! you made me a believer in sony cameras... I'll miss that camera as well.

but like jodi says... onward and upward, let's see some new alpha pics!

I should lend you my 28-200mm lens, it's a minolta mount that'll fit your new camera. you might have to come visit california to get it though. :)
