The D7K has been gone for 3 weeks, only to be returned with a “nothing wrong” with it. Well, I don’t agree. SD cards work at times, and other times do not, even if they worked the day before. Something is off. I’ve got a card in there which is recognized and working, and for now will transfer pictures with the camera attached to a USB cable. Let’s see what happens with this card – could conk out one day.
Until the camera went into the hospital, I did not realize just how much time I was spending with photography. I am not sure that this is such a good thing. Other activities certainly went by the wayside, such as knitting and painting, and I have missed those. The past three weeks has seen a pick-up in the knitting area, and I’ve begun some socks and a hat, and designing a sweater (yet again!) for Josh.
What this all means is that my activities need to be more diverse – it feels almost OCD to always be focused (if you will excuse the pun) so much on pictures and software.

I hear what you are saying. I am that way with genealogy because it so easy just to sit in front of the computer. Had a new friend say I found your blog (we haven’t started it yet) and I love your painting. It was yours and not mine and I said we have followed your blog for a long time and started because of the sumi-e. It is so hard to find teachers when you live out in the boonies. So keep up the painting for all of us out here waiting to see your next video. Regards Linda
Hi Linda – thanks for the encouragement. I’ll see what I can do, cuz I really do need to do it! -N
