    Nora,
    Did Greg's camera get recovered or was it broke? I am sure he has asked about it. If it was hurt, find out what one it was and I'll try to send him a new one. I know it seems like a funny thing to do but I owe the old fella. Please let me know it would mean a lot.

    Most definitely!

    Tyson, I'm not sure if he ended up taking it but, he told me he was going to be shooting the bridge with his Mamiya.

    Digital or an old film camera? I am not familiar with the name.

    Hi Tyson, it was a Mamiya M645 with an 80mm f/1.9. Again though, I'm not 100% certain that is what he took but, that is what he mentioned that morning. I sent you a pm, you know I'm definitely on board for anything :thumbsup:

    Hi Nora and I apologize for my lateness on this, but please pass on our prayers to Greg and your daughter and of course yourself. We will be keeping you all and the Drs. and nurses in our thoughts in the days and weeks to come.
    Sounds like Greg is a fighter and so I know he will fight his way through the rest of this and be back up and at 'em again real soon.
    I guess I'll have to keep a better eye on this forum, at least until Greg is all better.
    Keep up your faith and strength and take care of yourself in all of this.
    And please pass on to Greg...GET WELL SOON!!!!

    I thought Tyson's gift idea was so nice, I wanted to send my gift as well.

    Maybe others have photo gifts of bears, or healthy fruit or more flowers or something that might cheer Nora and Greg and they go through this trying experience.

    (Although a P&S, this Summer '08 photo is special to me because it was one of the first things I ever did that wasn't on "Auto.")

    Nora and Greg: I hope it brightens your day, and reminds you of all who care for you and that we are sending our prayers and good thoughts on your behalf.

    Re: Greg McCary in serious accident
    Just heard (thanks Aaron) -

    Hope things are going as well as can be expected. 25 feet is a pretty serious fall, especially if he hit pavement or another very hard surface. Very glad to hear that he has movement in his extremities. Please keep us informed. I'm sure he's in a lot of pain but that's to be expected immediately after such an accident. Time will tell how things work out. So just look at the bright side - no paralysis and no head damage - and go from there. Tell Greg that GB says HI, and that he will be photographing again sometime soon.

    Hi Greg,
    You don't know me, I am new here.
    However I have learned much from reading your posts and I really enjoyed your photos.

    Here's wishing you a fast recovery.
