actually 'this' was wrapped in a padded lens cover but i recognized the shape.
i didn't even want to unwrap it. i simply asked "is this the lens"?
christopher answer yes. the lens hadn't broken and after some tests,
it was determined the camera and the lens were ok.
i wanted to scream hallelujah and jump for joy but i was tired.
i just breathed deeply and said 'thank you' and gave him a big hug.
(after my outburst, christopher dealt with it all - taking the camera in
to the shop, being the main contact so i didn't have to stress out about it).
i appreciated that. he never got emotional about the camera or lens so he
was the best person for it.
after hearing the lens and the camera were functioning perfectly,
i didn't even want to open the lens which was wrapped securely in padding.
c assured me he even purchased a new lens protector which was key to saving
the lens when it dropped.
this incident was a lesson learned for all of us,
and especially for me.
fortunately it had a happy ending.
i'm so relieved
and so happy tonight.
tomorrow i photograph!
