I've finally managed to pickup a new DSLR after not shooting photos with an SLR for over 10 years... I've wanted to, I just haven't had access to a darkroom or the cash to pay for good professionally done printing/developing so it was always on the back burner... and I knew that DSLRs were the future so part of me was fine with the idea of not being too involved or invested until such time as a good quality DSLR was within my price range.

The Nikon D90 finally delivered on that promise and I'm psyched to start shooting again.

This hastily done shot was from my first real walk with the D90 in hand. We were exploring the nob-hill area of Portland, OR and the hydrants kept looking like quasi-alien faces to me. In any case, I'm extremely happy with the camera and can't wait to get myself back in the photo groove...
