Renting a Camera Lens
[caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“500” caption=“The lens is so heavy it tips my camera forward a bit.”] [/caption]
For my cousin’s wedding I wanted to have a f/2.8 lens. I had had bad luck with my current lenses at Richard’s wedding because I couldn’t get good enough low light performance. So I decided to rent a Canon EF 24-70mm L f/2.8 lens. So not only will it be an f/2.8, but it will also be an L lens so this should be the best quality photos I have ever taken. After a lot of looking around, I ended up choosing Pro Photo Rental.
Ten Thousand Views!

This photos is my most viewed photo on flickr and today it reached 10,000 views! The pace of views has been insanely quick. (for one of my photos) It only had 5,000 views 18 months ago and ever since then I’ve been wondering when it would reach 10,000 views. Now the next milestone on the flickr views groups is 25,000 views. It’ll probably take a while to get there. I know there are some who get 25,000 views in one day, but I’m not one of those, so this is pretty exciting for me. 10,000 pairs of eyeballs have seen this photo and that’s awesome.
Happy Birthday Firefox!

I can’t believe Firefox has been around for five years! I remember first being introduced to tabs and it totally changing the way I surf the web. Back then it was a plucky upstart and didn’t even work with many websites that had been coded specifically for Internet Explorer. Now it has around 20% market share!
Picture of the Day (Part 1)
It’s been a really long time since I did this. Here are some of the non-Project 365 related photos since then.
Halloween in The Village

Last year after Dina and Brian went to The Village for Halloween, I did some research on this tradition and decided we would go whenever things worked out. Well, this year was that year so we decided to spend Halloween night in Greenwich Village in NYC’s Manhattan. But, first, we rewind once again to last year. Danielle’s mother made an awesome Chun-Li costume for Dina that rivals anything you can find in a US costume store. Brian was Ryu and both got lots of accolades for their costumes. Fast forward to this summer. We decided to also have Danielle’s mom make our costumes this year.
365 Project Update
Due to missing some photos on the weekend or extremely busy weeks, I’ve now completed 155 days as of the time this is being written. Here are some of my favorite photos since my last update in August. To see the entire project, visit my 365 Set on flickr.
