N.A.S. – Nikon Acquisition Syndrome…

I’m not the first and won’t be the last but my recent Nikon D80 purchase and rekindled interest in photography has led to three new-to-me lens purchases since September.  Luckily I got two screaming deals on older model lenses that are undervalued for their quality.  (thats what I keep telling myself!)  I’ve also been able to defray the cost by the sale of lenses I am not using.

But I’m done for now, at least on lenses.  I now have my fast f/2.8 trio of a 20mm, 55mm Micro and 180mm.  All three have good reputations as being fast (good in low light) and sharp.

In other good news, The Yards development is close to a deal with a Brewpup-Alehouse for the Boilermaker shop behind the DOT building down here in Capitol Riverfront.  Check out the story… The Boilermaker Shop is the very same I showed in this picture, as you can see it has tons of glass and will be a striking location.

Speaking of Capitol Riverfront, in the interests of spreading recognition of that term for this ‘Nat’s Ballpark, Southeast, Near Southeast, Navy Yard, M St SE’ area that we call home I’ve started a Flickr group that hopefully will grow with submissions from residents and visitors… we’ll see.  Check it out for yourself!
