The prodigal camera

In a plot twist that would have surprised even Grisham, my stolen camera has returned to the fold. Bonus points for the human race. The day after the camera was stolen we sent an email out through the same channels that sent the party invite asking whoever took the camera to please just return it, anonymously dropping it back on the porch of the house would be fine.  And lo and behold after 3 weeks of mulling it over, that is exactly what that person did. Unmarked cardboard box on the porch with a single handwritten note saying “Very Sorry.”

Of course I’ll have to return the insurance money now but that’s fine too because Amazon will take everything back. Gotta love Amazon.

Stolen Camera

I’ll be brief.  My D200 and Nikkor 12-24mm f/4 were stolen last weekend.  Yup, people suck.

But people can also be beautiful, warm and loving. I try to remind myself of that when I think of the ass-bag that walked into a house full of friends having a good time and walked out with my camera.

* The footnote to this is that I think my renter’s insurance is going to cover at least some of the value… hopefully it’s enough to replace at least the body.

Nikon D700

What?! Did I miss a few iterations or something? At this point it doesn’t really matter, all my prayers have been answered! An FX sensor in a smaller body at almost half the price! Pretty damn sweet. We’ll see how the world wakes up to this one today, the supposed launch day for the new body.

What Nikon has to say.

New galleries on the website

Hear ye, hear ye. I have added a new gallery to my website at http://www.jgardnerphoto.com . It’s wedding gallery, or collection of galleries as the case may be. The wedding section of my site will be expanding as I shoot more of my friends and family getting hitched. Obviously, because of this it will be a work in progress for some time to come…

Here are a few from the first gallery from my friends Laura and Micah’s wedding last July at Alma del Monte, NM.
