Photographs and Memories
Photographs and the memories they rekindle are often etched in our minds for extended periods of time and linked to our emotions.

Each of us has created images that have special meaning and memories for us.

Nikon 1 Ahead of Its Time?
Just over 8 years ago Nikon launched the Nikon 1 series of cameras. The last new camera model was the J5 which came to market in April 2015. As we all know, the product line was discontinued by Nikon in July 2018. The end of Nikon 1 did not come as a surprise to most people. All kinds of criticism has been heaped on Nikon regarding this product line and its demise. Lately I’ve been wondering if Nikon 1 was simply ahead of its time.
