Thank you Nikon!

Aaron loves nature, originally uploaded by josephjaffe.

I just wanted to thank Nikon for selecting me to participate in their blogger outreach program. With photographs like this (which I would never have had before), I now have loyalty to a brand which quite frankly I had never considered before.

This kind of influencer outreach represents a new path forward and certainly a viable and cost effective alternative to traditional advertising.

As a reminder to everyone, this camera was sent to me on loan. I am under no obligation whatsoever to say anything about the camera or the program, except - with full disclosure - the nature of how I received the camera. And when I do say something, I am free to say what I want.

Also, to the "Serial Naysayers" out there, take a look at this photo and then take a good look at yourselves. Smile, enjoy life and enjoy your family and friends. Perhaps you'll even want to purchase a Nikon D80 camera to capture moments like these :)

Happy Memorial Day to my US-readers. I will be taking lots of pictures this weekend.
