I'm currently purchased a Nikon D5500, which came with DX AF-S 18-55mm lens. I purchased this camera first for its video capabilities. I needed a camera that would do a excellent job of recording old 8mm movie film of my father-in-laws, when he sailed the Great Lakes for the Columbia Transportation Division. Everyone remember the Edmund Fitzgerald. He retired just one year to the dated this great ship went down with all hands on board. I have now recorded 18 reels of 400 feet of his film of the Steamers, Ewing, Buckeye, C.G. Post, O.S. McFarland, and S. S. Edmund Fitzgerald. All is now preserved for future generations to view.

I now live in Fountain Hills Arizona where I enjoy photography: Taking photographs of wildlife right in my own backyard. Your more than likely seen some of my photos in the Fountain Hills Times, in the Fountain Sprouts section of the paper. These were photos of Bobcats, Ravens, Quail, and Butterflies. I also belong to the Ugly Hedgehog Photography Forum where some of the most talented photographers in the world share advice.
When I'm not taking photos, I'm enjoying my model train layout and collection. I also have an eBay Store were I Buy & Sell American Flyer Trains. This does keep me busy at 78 years old. Indoors is the place to be in the summer when it reaches 110 degrees outside, unless you are having a pool party.
