“Buying a Nikon doesn’t make you a photographer. It makes you a Nikon owner.”

“No photographer is as good as the simplest camera.”

~Edward Steichen

My first picture taken with my new camera in the middle of the night.

Finally I entered the wonderful world of the FX. Well, after so much hesitation in March of 2016 I took the plunge and I bought the Nikon D610 ($1300) after another price drop of $200 at B&H with some extra goodies thrown in. My Nikon D200 ($1500) served me  well for 8 years, R.I.P. Compared to the D200 it is amazing to see how much the technology advanced using my new toy, the D610! Shortly I considered to get the Nikon D750 ($2000), however, the only major advantage of the D750 over the D610 is the better focusing mechanism in low light. I decided on to put my hands on the D610 and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. In addition, I saved $700 for another quality lens! Now I have all the time to get familiar with my new toy and get to the proverbial next level with my photography!

Aphorisms #5

My trusted old friend, Nikon F2AS

“Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst”

“Reality offers us such wealths that we must cut some of it out on the spot, simplify.”

“To take photographs means to recognize-simultaneously and within a fraction of a second-both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one’s head, one’s eye and one’s heart on the same axis.”

“Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.”

Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004)

These are some of the thoughts of the father of modern photojurnalism.
