Uh, no. :-s She's had one for about 6 years, but not 8....and she's lived in another city/state for those 6. When I get to see her, her taking photos of me with gear is not exactly at the top of our list of things to do. As a matter of fact, it's never ON the list.... :lol:

What's ironic is my youngest daughter has been working as a professional model and in the model photography business for a couple years now, and yet her digital camera rare if EVER works....when she can FIND it. #-o

As I said, in this case I'm talking about a jacket I had in my posession in 2000 for a very shot period of time, and no one I even KNEW had ever HEARD of a digital camera....but then, they had only come out for public consumption in 1997.

From review of the topic, it may be more rare than even I recall. From what I've gathered, there were only two made, one for _, and then one for me on his recommendation. Rundquist ended up with _'s. I believe Dawg ended up getting mine, then ended up selling it to someone else. Joe?

Anyway, we can only find two documented deerskin Expeditions. It wasn't out there as a option for very long. Guess I should have held onto mine. :-k

Indydawg was the owner and I had only "borrowed" it for a couple months and then gave it back. I hadn't realized it was formerly yours, Michaelson!

Oh, ok. It's just that the first mention of your daughter having your camera was from a post back in December 2003. So, closer to 8 than 6!
I thought I'd look it up since I read you're notoriously camera shy, Mr. Michaelson, when it comes to taking pics at least! ;)

Yeah, a camera once loaned and never seen again too! :lol:

I'm not camera shy. I have worked behind cameras for the past 36 years, and continue to do so in my present job of 20 years. I'm just not interested in being in FRONT of a camera is all.

I don't like bringing my work home with me. ;)

Nothing more.

My deerskin Expo ended up with Baphy, and unfortunately he passed away. I don't know what happened to the jacket. I would have never gotten rid of it if it still fit me. When I got the thing it was not exactly snug. Then I lost about a jacket size in weight. It was awesome, still one of my favorite jackets. Comfy like you wouldn't believe.
