Very long time Nikon user getting back into active photography. I was around years ago, and faded away. Now found my way back. Though not exclusivly Nikon shooter Nikon by far is the majority of my equipment. I still have working film bodies through D850 DSLR. Just ordered first Z5II for mirrorless adventure. Still thinking of getting Z8 as well. Back in mid 70's started on my dads Pentax ME Super (still own my own version). And been adding to the gear pile since. First new camera ever that I received for Christmas was a Kodak Handle (I have one but not my original). I dabbled with what I call paid photography. Was a paid university news photographer, sold some to local papers as well. Had a good gig taking pictures of football players for their famlies (3 rolls of film, they process, $250). Mostly seniors, though also did some volleyball players as well. Done some real estate photo work but in my area no money in it. Have done wedding and some engagement pics for friends, some for little $$. But never really thought to do photography full time even though really into it at yound age. I know some stuff, forgotten some stuff, but I still know I don't know it all!

What kind of Jeep do you have? Mine is a 1989 Wrangler with 251,000+ miles. I'm the original owner.
We (wife and I) have 2015 Grand Cherokee, 2006 Wrangler Unlimited, 2000 Wrangler, 1999 Cherokee, 1995 Jeep YJ, 1993 Jeep YJ, and 1971 M35A2 Deuce and a Half where the data plate actually says Jeep Corporation. Prior to that would be Kaiser, and after that AM General. Apparently for about 9 month they used a Jeep Corporation data plate. Also have 2 Ram trucks. Luckily we have 3 acres so no fighting for parking space.
