I love that song....even though it references a Ni-kon camera.


I don't even own a film camera anymore. Gave it to my Paw-In-Law. Now he's thinking about going digital. He's begining to undersatnd how expensive that "free" film camera is to use. People think DSLRs are expensive but they're cheap compared to film use.
