Our son will be 41 next month. He spent serious $$ on that Nikon and the accessory lenses. In my earlier years, I did a lot of basement developing and printing of B&W photos. He did learn a bit from me. A really good camera, plus a good photographer plus good photo editing software can give outstanding results. I see a lot of good pictures on this forum, but many lack the excellent detail, color rendition and composition which might have been possible. The cameras built into our smartphones are a blessing in some ways, but a curse in others, since they encourage the proliferation of photos which are often weak in artistic and technical merit.
Whoops,..... I slipped just a bit stepping down off my soapbox. And, yes, my wife wants to put together a special little album. I have taken a number of pictures, and our son obliged with a few as well - the best of which is the one I posted here.
