I must have been hiding under a basket and unaware that nikongear is resuscitated! But now found, all is not lost! I'm also pleased to find the familiar names among the members. I have to admit that my enthusiasm for photography has suffered when I declined to continue participating at fotozones, after the breakup. Of course, there are other reasons, for my reduction in photographic output - practicing a lot of guitar lately. My spirit enjoys this musical "revival" even as my arthritic hands do not! In the future, I will strive for a better balance in pursuit of my many "loves," by offering my modest contribution to the photographic "revival" on this site.
