Denton Nikon Camera Gear Remains!

What’s that old saying? You can lead a horse to water, but can’t make ’em think? Or, something like that …

Great Nikon gear for sale right here in Denton, Texas, for those who feel the calling to be the greatest photographers on the planet. We all start somewhere don’t we?

NIKON D800 – The More Affordable Alternative to the video superior 850. Here is my listing on Craigslist for the NIKON D800. It includes the VERTICAL battery extension and extra batteries and chargers!

NIKON 14-24 f.2.8 – For those who know what 2.8 fixed really means? this is a tack sharp lens in fantastic condition. Here is my listing on Craigslist for the NIKON 14-24.

NIKON 28-70 f.2.8 For those who know what 2/8 really means? this is a desert island lens, that last lens you would let out of your cold hands at the end of the world. Here is my listing on Craigslist for the NIKON 28-70 also in perfect condition at a perfectly ridiculous price.

Contact me if you want all of these and I am sure we can come up with a good number for those student loans! Heck, I will even throw in some lessons to sweeten your technical advantage.

Leslie’s Camera Denton Texas

Environmental photography by Shannon Drawe Photography

I ran into the last owner of Leslie’s Camera shop yesterday, and although I am pretty sure he didn’t remember me (but knew my name from the Denton photography community), we did take a walk down memory lane.

I only barely remember when Leslie’s Camera was located on the Square, and then over to University Drive.

There was also the recall of Denton Camera, it’s location on the edge of North Texas State University (around that Fry Street intersection area) Avenue A, and owner Nic Nicosia.

We rambled on down memory lane, bringing up Burt Finger and Missy Finger – and their Photographs Do Not Bend gallery as well as his start in Denton. You will see Burt doing photography appraisals on Antiques Road Show from time-to-time.

Of course in the end-times of film photography, along came Film Depot which was located in the center on University Drive where Albertson’s is still located. Film Depot specialized in selling grey market film that essentially ended the dominance of Leslie’s and coupled with catalog ordering and then the internet? The handwriting was written large on the wall. And the lion became the lamb, with me struggling to even remember the name of Film Depot.
