This is my turning point shot, the one where I saw I might be good at photography. I still have it on my memory stick, like a beloved pet or family member, one of the few I haven't deleted. I bought my camera to shoot my art work; it has a special close-up lens but not much of a pixel count or zoom capacity. So, of course, I'm now all about the landscape, the river scene. Water, distance. I'd love to be able to capture those little ferries pulling into the Erie Lackawanna terminal across the Hudson.

Next time, next camera, a 10X zoom, please.
