I love getting warned about a certain animal and then seeing the actual animal.

A weekend with my Zeta ladies. I love my new lens!

This has been a good mail week for me. I love good mail weeks.  I ordered my first two lenses for my Rebel.  A Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II and a Zeikos 0.18X Super Fisheye Lens. I’ve been wanting the first one for a while and the second one I bought on a whim. The Fisheye lens came in yesterday. The other is on FedEx Vehicle For Delivery (I keep checking!).

Not sure what to make of this fish-eye lens. It is a lot of fun but in terms of functionality, not too sure. It’s hard to keep it focused. One perk about it is I can screw off the fish-eye portion of the lens and then I get a macro lens. The macro one will be for taking pics of very small things (think bugs!). The depth of field is very shallow. It focuses on very little at a time. Below is an example. It’s three water drops on my desk with the focus on a different one in each picture.

Ha, those of you who don’t know or care about photography are probably like big deal. Or you’ve already clicked away! For those who haven’t, here is a pic of Rocco’s eye.

And finally, fun with the fish eye lens.

My other lens finally arrived too! 

I can't wait to have fun with them in NYC this weekend!

Here is a glimpse at 4 hours on a Tuesday evening in Hollywood. So eventful, no?

Btw, the random dude is my friend Matt. He was a great tour guide.

Ok, you probably don’t care for my scenery snapshots. Let’s get to the celebs.

We walked around a ton. And you all know how much I love pics.

Guess where I am! Happy to be here. Kings of Leon @ the Hollywood Bowl tonight. Can’t wait!

This picture makes me crave winter.

I’ve had a bunch of images/graphics saved in a folder I call “gems” waiting to be displayed at some point. Because I don’t believe in saving the good china for special occasions, here they are.  Enjoy.

Ok, I write about John Mayer a lot more than I thought I would. I love his random blog posts. And getting a glimpse of snapshots like the one below doesnt hurt either.

Want to know what Johnny thinks about when he is on stage? Click on, my friends.

I am going to Sandestin this weekend with my favorite family, the Stuyversons. Hoping to take one last dip in the pristine beaches before the oil gets there. What are you doing this weekend? Come support the panhandle economywith me (hello, Off Saks)!

On my heart and in my phone, lately.

The ones that were not taken by me, were found on Joie De Vivre.  A recent find that I am very much obssessed with.

[ok, hi. i just realized today is wednesday, not monday. travel will do that to you. in any case, hello wednesday]
