You ever have a dream so vivid that you can’t help but think it really happened?
Have you ever woken up from the realistic experience/dream /nightmare and tell yourself “it’s a dream, go back to sleep” to only nod off again and pick RIGHT BACK up in the dream sequence. Yeah that was my night last night. A restless and troubled sleep it was… To my friends who have insomnia I feel for you. Normally I am out all night. Not the case last night!


I dreamed that somehow I broke my beloved Nikon 14-24 f2.8 as we were leaving for the airport. How is still a mystery, but it was smashed. That beautiful curved lens bubble that is distortion free was smashed to bits. I remember picking up each piece of glass and trying to glue it back together with Elmer’s glue. I woke up at this point. What a night mare and after a trip to the kitchen sink and some water I was fast asleep.

Back in dreamland I went. Once that glue fix was not working I then slipped out the front door while my wife was waiting for our ride to the airport to go to a local camera shop. They said they could fix it in 6 weeks. I need a 14 to 24 NOW…. We then got into this heated argument for me to rent one for 10 days at 1,800 bucks. I said, fine I’ll just buy one and they would NOT sell it to me. Rentals only. No sales anymore? Again, I woke up?

A trip to the bathroom, tripped on a dog and back asleep I was. Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Back in dreamland again and on a plane to Hawaii I was ordering from the B and H website for $1800 bucks. But they wanted $500 in shipping, I remember being disgusted and throwing my already glued together broken 14-24 in a garbage can at the Maui airport and woke up.


I went into my camera bag when I got up this am to check and make sure this was in fact a bad dream and not some twisted reality.
