It was traumatic seeing my parents. Just when my mom seemed to be pretty balanced, she goes and acts crazy. My dad was just along for the ride. It was unpleasant for everyone.

It was sad also because today I got my D70s. I think sometimes I don't like things when the day I get them sucks, and I hope this doesn't happen with the camera. I love it and I'm intrigued by figuring out how to work it. It is very different from a film camera in so many ways. I might put tape over the screen protector so I don't edit for the rest of my life. My dad also gave me a camera bag that is a backpack, so I can take a few bodies and lenses everywhere. I'm thinking to take it next time I go on a bike trip.
