A flower a day for February.

Village Green I lived for a year in one of those third floor apartments; it's on Mall Drive, behind Lansing Mall. But the building was a different color in 1982....

Sault Ste Marie, Ontario; from a Soo Locks Tour boat (probably Nokomis, not that it matters). 6/20/2011,

My new camera, a Nikon 1 V2. Turns out it's difficult to photograph a white camera. This is now my main camera, though I still use the D300 when I need a more capable device. Always-- always --there are tradeoffs; fortunately I can decide which I'll likely need before I leave the house. The strap's by Gordy's Camera Straps . I used a similar strap with my V1, and decided I needed another for this camera.

Yup: a new toy. I've grown weary of intimidating people with my camera. So I'm gonna try something else for a while.

For comparison with the strap I just installed on my new camera, this is the wrist strap I use on the big camera.

I've installed one of Gordy's Camera Straps on my Nikon 1 V1. This is Gordy's regular sized string strap, with his wrist pad (a separate product). The strap and the pad are in black; the string and wrap are (predictably, Joan would say) red. While Gordy recommends against buying the wrist pad with the string strap, I managed to get the thing assembled. 'Twas, I admit, painful ; he's right to discourage it. I'd considered removing the camera's strap mount and installing Gordy's lug mounted strap; that might be a better solution. And many would likely be satisfied with a pad-less strap. Nonetheless, this looks like a usable setup. Here's a photo of me using the camera. For comparison, I've also posted a photo of my big camera, and its rather-more-elaborate wrist strap.

Nonetheless, this looks like a usable setup. Here's a view of the entire kit. The strap's not really very big; the undersized camera will mislead your eye. Oh, yes: Gordy offers so many options that he's obviously building these from scratch. I ordered this on Sunday and received it (Washington State to Michigan) this morning. Excellent service.
