JayKnight Life: Running, Reviews, Photos

This Nikon N-2020 came with an awesome strap, leather case and you can see the Grandpa key chain connected to the strap.    This is my first experience with and my first review of a Nikon Camera. I used to be, but I'm not longer the type of photographer that tries to argue about which brand is better(Canon, Nikon, Sony, Leica, ... etc.) I don't think this is like the Nintendo/Sega video game console wars of the 80s and 90s.

So, here are a few more shots from the gardens. Enjoy!
