While I was busy bad-mouthing the Sony A33, I forgot to mention I made some money off it before I sent it back!
A Realtor called me one day last month and asked if I could get a good shot of an empty lot that was up for sale. It just so happened that It was a week-end, I …
I hope everyone had a peaceful Christmas weekend, I did, and the fact that It was about 70° (21°c) and sunny in Tucson this weekend made it even better.

I’m waiting on a Sony A580 …
I’ll be taking a break for the next few days, so nothing new will get posted until I get back. I hope everyone has a great Christmas weekend!!
