serendipity

I think I mentioned serendipity a few posts ago.... just off to see if I did (...oh, ...not exactly, but I did write this) .  But I should a done.  I certainly mentioned the new camera.

I was advised to go and have a play with one... you knowto get the feel of it.  SO... today at a child's 5th birthday party, I spied a lady with a camera, looking decidedly familiar to the one I posted about.  So I went to ask her about it. Yes it was a Nikon D80.  It was her husbands and he was more than happy to chat photography with me.  And he might be selling his.  And did I want to have a play and take some photos?  Yes please!  He also told me that the D90 which has video on it (hmmmm - that could be even better!), and yes the lens I talked about would make all the difference.....  And had I heard about Lightworks (I did write it down, I think that is what he said) and if anytime I wanted to be shown how lightworks or talk photography he would be well up for it.  He had studied photography at college, but never took it any further, but loved taking photographs and talking about it.

Very cool.  I got to play with a D80 and I have a mentor already.  With a copy of lightworks he is happy to share.  And from whom I might be able to buy said camera........  (although maybe the D90 with video as well would be even cooler!)

I love serendipity.
I love how you put it out the the universe and the universe responds.
Its probably got some practical down to earth explanations. But I like the magic of it.
