John & Norah’ s wonder photo-venture (Introduction)

I first found Norah, in the corner of barn.
I have no idea from where he came inside. He was covered with tattered cloth, which was lying around and collecting dust. I wonder what attracted my curiosity at that situation. Anyway I opened up the cloth. That was the first encounter between us.

My Mom and Dad didn’t welcome our encounter from the start. They strongly opposed to keep Norah at my house. All what they complained was about everyday walk, feeding, herding, training, vaccinating and other annoying things to keep a pet (although I don’t believe Norah as a pet). Above all they mentioned that If I got tired of him in the future, it is them that pay to cull him. NONSENSE.

I made a pledge to take care of Norah, weeping bitterly every single day. When they finally allowed me to keep Norah after this one-month plea, I was so grad that I wept again, this time, for joy. Well, I know he don’t remember my effort, he never thank me, but I just love being with him.

He was “norah” so I call him Norah. (Norah means “stray” in Japanese.) He has black hair so that I could call him “Blackjack” or something else, but when my name, John, comes together with Norah, sounds similar with my favorite singer Norah Jones. Our spelling is “Norah, John’s”, indicating he belongs to me. If he happened to escape from me, people could tell he is my buddy.

I heard many things are dumped out there, not only Norah. People must really desire to get them at start, soon getting bored, and to go for other new things. That’s so sad. I don’t do that. I do take care of Norah to the last gasp.
I’m sure he is absolutely a standout in the planet, nothing can compare with him.

In fact Norah looks unique. We haven’t see similar species before. On the other day, my dad googled to see what kind of breed Norah is, turned out that he is very, very valuable kind, being priced so high for auctions. Over the weeks, Dad tried to have a deal with me exchanging Norah and Sony’s latest digital camera. I don’t want anybody underestimate me. Kindergarten gimmick won’t work, daddy.

It’s clear that Sony’s camera never supersede Norah.

What do you think who Norah is, Daddy?

He is an authentic 35mm Single Lens Reflex camera!!!
