The 700, now a.k.a. Willy

In one of our many Facebook/Gmail chats, my friend Cole pointed out the fact that I haven’t named my precious camera yet (he named his ‘Black Velvet‘ the day he got it). I just call my camera the 700, and that’s not good enough. Of course my baby needs a real name.

So what do you call someone who’s tender, yet powerful? Most of the time sensitive, but when in the right mood, a real warrior?

Well, I’ve decided to call him Willy. I think he’ll (yes, it’s a he) be comfortable with that. And people in Canada will know how to pronounce his name too.

So here are a few pics of him (shot with my no-name backup D300), my D700 – from of today also known as Willy:

Jakob - They sure will my friend. They sure will.

I got mail - [...] Cyberphoto. Quite the package too, I’d say – new back-up camera (Nikon D300S – Willy’s got himself a baby brother!), new lens (Sigma 20mm f/1,8), on-location back-up drive (Jobo [...]
