A relative told me eons ago to join the military. They were sure that would get me headed in the right direction. But seeing all the gear and clothes these people are schlepping around, I feel suffocated! I'd hate having my whole body covered up like that! Claustrophobia, anyone?

After 6 years and about 200,000 shutter actuations, the D800 has given up. This was one of the last frames.

I have taken it up in C-130 cargo aircraft and Blackhawk helicopters, it has been slightly dunked in the Atlantic, several rivers and lakes. Water sprayed while in boats at Special Forces water jumps, or on charity event fishing boats on Jordan Lake. It has been rattled while standing near a firing 155mm Howitzer, 105mm Howitzer, live fire ranges, Carl Gustavs, and 1600 pounds of C4 plastic explosive. Walked for miles and miles, dropped a few times, photographed countless sporting events and cute little kids. It gave it’s all. Nikon you build a good camera.
