I shoot all my photos almost exclusively with my Nikon D60. I also have a little Nikon Cool Pix that I use occasionally. The quality is good with the point-n-shoot, but I love my DSLR camera. When I got O'Dell (that's what call Him), a 18-55mm lens was included and I shot only with that … Continue reading Before & After – eyes have it
