The purchase of my 1st Sony pretty much coincided with the spread of Covid. I was wary of going anywhere as I have a high risk health history. Things subsided and and I finally started getting out. A year ago on our Wedding Anniversary my Wife and I went to Tahoe. A great place to shoot pictures. We both came home with Covid. We did both survive! I did a fair amount of shooting this year and I anxiously awaited the Fall season. When Autumn came, I celebrated by taking a fall and wracked my self up pretty good. I managed to do a "Face Plant" in an asphalt parking lot. The worse part of the damage was to my right femur, after having my right hip replaced in February. Recovery, all though not complete yet, exceeded six weeks. Are you seeing a trend here?

I traveled a good part of the world as a Professional Pilot, most of which was without a camera but I began some photography when pocket digital cameras came out. The early digital cameras, for the most part, pretty much sucked, but around 2000 to 2003 they got to be somewhat useful. I have a couple of albums on Flickr from the early days of digital after I ran the JPEGs through Lightroom, were at least viewable. One is A Day in Vienna, in 2001 and another is MotoGP - Jerez, Spain in May 2003. How great it would have been to have a Sony mirrorless camera back then. Going forward, wish me luck getting my butt out of the house and shooting more in 2024!
