I think if I had an Amazon Echo, or something like it, I would fill my home with music again.
And my once-loved Nikon D-80 now records the fatal letters Err when I go to shoot anything.
Yup, I need some new electronics.
This morning I decide to venture to the far west side to B&H, the largest non-chain photo and video equipment store in The United States.
And it's friggin' freezing out
What is it with NY busses and the cold? All of a sudden, they seem to disappear. I wait 30 minutes for a crosstown bus. It's so frigid I wait inside a Citibank across the street from the bus stop. And I miss two busses. Yup, two.
A bus pulls up; I race across the street (almost getting hit by a car); catch the bus driver's eye; and motion for him to stop and wait. I then watch as he pulls away (and maybe I imagine it, but I think I see him smile). This happens twice. Do bus drivers become insensitive and smug when temperatures drop?
One bus, one subway, and a short two-block walk, and I arrive.

B&H is a good place to find people who know what they're talking about. And to try out any camera you're thinking of getting. Last week I went to Best Buy and they had one of the cameras I'm interested in. But the floor model was broken and they had no others to try.
I bought my last DSLR camera, a Nikon D80, in June of 2007 for $990. Today's cameras are much better and cost less. I've been waffling between the Canon Rebel T7i and the Nikon 5600. Since I already have the Nikon lenses, and I like the feel of the Nikon body better, I make my decision.
I'm not quite ready to make the purchase yet, but at least I know what I want.
I take a Via home. It comes quickly. But midtown at noon is a traffic-filled nightmare. It takes almost an hour to get home.
