I have finally acquired one of the highly recommended pieces of glass that I have been reading about.  The Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 is an excellent tool.  Everything I have read and researched about this lens is true. 

As an all-purpose lens the 24-70mm is the lens.  It is quite heavy, but for me, I like that weight.  As is all Nikon products, this lens is built sturdy.  It has a professional feel to it.  Paired with my Nikon D700, this glass is quick.  Auto focus is very fast and with a wide aperture low light is no problem.   There is a little distortion on the wide end of the zoom but I’m not really bothered by it.  From what I’ve read a lot of people don’t like the image distortion.  I find that it can have a little artistic value when shooting wide.  This lens may hardly ever leave the camera.  It’s already my favorite all around lens.  I would recommend this lens to anyone at any level of photography.

My Aunt Emma posted something on Facebook that inspired me to post this photo.  My grandmother raise her kid and many grand kids in this house.  This, now abandoned, house is where I was raise most of my life.  This is what I knew as home.  My grandmother was a great woman.  She devoted her life to nine kids and countless grand kids.  My memories of her are all strong memeries!  I knew her as having all the answers.  When I was sick she always knew what to do.  She always knew what to say to make me feel better.  This house was like a huge playground.  Everything is big when you are young and small.  My cousins, brothers, sister, even my mom, aunts and uncles used to run up and down the street and all through the yard.  It was so easy to entertain ourselve over there.  I took this photo when I visited my mom in December.  This photo is feeled with memories of my childhood!  My beautiful, strong, encouraging, loving grandmother is all over this photo!  Myrtices Marie Parker   August 9, 19??-May 9, 2002…

This is another reposted photo.  I took my family to a park in Virginia Beach, VA.  I sat my daughter down in these flowers and started shooting.  She seems to not mind at all.  She will be walking soon.  There will be more photos of her when I return home.  Beautiful isn’t she…:-)
