I would LOVE to win this camera! I’m using my manual Nikon FM from about 1978. While this camera is great (and doubles as a weapon when traveling), it is time for me to enter this century! Not many places to develop film any more. : ) It would also get my blog/website out of its slow start rut. -Liz
Wow – what a great giveaway! I’d use it for our food photography (of course!) as well as our family photos!

I would LOVE to win this Nikon camera and lens. I have a manual Nikon FM circa 1978. While this a great camera (and doubles as a weapon while traveling) it is time for me to enter this century and get my new blog/website out of my rut and slow start. Besides, not many places develop film any more! : ) – Liz

Incredible give away! I would photograph items for my tiny little Etsy store (sequestration is coming up starting next week so looking for every possibly extra avenue) and maybe start a food blog to chronicle our diet journey for better half’s health. I think, being St. Patrick’s Day though, that Chocolate Mint Poke Cake would appear this morning though.
Thanks for sharing!
