Happy

My dad bought me Nikon FM2 when I was 18 but somebody borrowed it a few years ago and never returned. (He went back to Korea with the camera!) I bought the same camera on craig's list for a very good deal and got a 50mm lens on Ebay. So excited to use a film camera gain.

BTW,, I've been waking up at 7:36am everyday! always exactly 7:36! weird.

That's so crazy but kind of cool at the same time. Great camera. Can't wait to see what you'll do with it.

I packed my Nikon film camera away years ago and never looked back. You've just given me the push I needed to wipe the dust off and try it again...By the way--I've been waking every morning @ 3:17 am. Quite irritating!!!! LOL
