The Great State Fair of Texas 2012!
In late September, just in time for my birthday, Wolf Camera went out of business
this allowed me to buy a "back up" camera body for my photo business.
I purchased a Nikon D7000 with an 18mm-105mm lens.
These are a group of the first images shot with my new rig...
