First shots with the Zeiss Rollei 35mm f/1.4
I’ve had my eye on this lens for a while now and was finally able to score one for a reasonable price off ebay recently. So far I’ve been super impressed with it. Images straight out of the camera are already amazing and require very little processing. This is by far the best lens I own.
Hansel
Meet Hansel, the newest edition to our household! We’ve had him for only a week so far but already we love him so much. Hansel is a beautiful Eurasier boy. The Eurasier is a fairly new breed which started in the 60′s in Germany. They were bred by taking the best companion qualities of the German Spitz, Chow Chow, and Samoyed. They’re known for being an ideal companion dog. Calm and quiet indoors but active outdoors. They also have a reputation for being cat charmers. This breed was bred for one purpose, to be great family companion dogs.
Grilling at Mike’s with my new Rokkor 58mm f1.2
Nothing all that exciting about this. Some of us were bored so we decided to hang out with a BBQ, some beer, and a deck of cards. A typical but always fun night.
But what made this night a little different was that I got to extensively play with my newest toy, the Rokkor 58 1.2. Shortly after I got my 5dm2 and paired it with the 24-70 2.8L I quickly realized that I needed something a little smaller and lighter to carry around when I wanted to pack light.
Dang and Delena | Wedding
This was the second weekend in a row Chau and I attended a wedding of one of our friends. It was great seeing everyone again. Most of the people we sat with live in Southern California so we really only get to see each other during weddings. But we always have a blast whenever we do. This is the fourth wedding we’ve all sat with each other. We’re always one of the loudest and rowdiest tables when we’re together and this time was no different. Another great and really fun time.
My best friends wedding
Over this past weekend I attended and was the best man at my best friend Donny’s wedding. I’ve literally known Donny my entire life. His Mom and my Mom were friends so Donny was actually at the hospital the day I was born. Since then we’ve been like family, in fact Donny always introduces me to people as his cousin. After the ceremony one of the brides brothers even went up to me to tell me that now we’re family, thinking that in fact Donny and I were real cousins. But family or not, he’s been like an older brother to me my entire life.
