    I found a great radio station this weekend.

    In my trip south to visit my parents, my daughter was channel surfing and I stopped her cold when I heard a great song I hadn't heard in many years. The song ended and the announcer came on the air and declared that they "play the songs that you never thought you would hear on the radio again"...

    What gives?

    I'm browsing gear sales sites this AM and notice that there are a lot of pro bodies on the market (ebay, B&H, Adorama, etc). In particular, I noticed a lot of D800s and D800Es for sale, as well as a lot of D700s for sale much lower prices than I paid for mine 18 months ago. I figured that the...

    Always yearning for new equipment?

    Then read this: No One is Making a Bad Camera, You're Just a Bad Photographer He's very blunt and up-front, (ranting, according to the editor) but, there's more truth here than I want to admit most of the time. What do you think? WM
