85mm f1.8 Test

I was at a friend's birthday party last Saturday. It so happens he owns an 85mm Nikkor that I've been thinking of getting. So why not give it a test run. The room was quite dark so I had to crank up the ISO to 1600 and the lens wide open.

The long way home

Didn't think I could hate flying. I used to love it. But 22 hours of it from New York to Jakarta, in the era of suicidal madmen using airliners as missiles, it was pure hell. Having a 3 year old sitting behind you and constantly kicking your seat....priceless...after two short weeks of reunion with family and friends, a wedding, a lot of running around, the flight back was even worst. The foiled London bomb plot happened just the day before I had to leave. Sucks....but hey, it was worth it. Coming home after 5 years abroad was definitely sweet.
Two quick shot taken at Kuala Lumpur in transit. One of the few times I had the will and energy to pick up my D70.

In the rain....

 

Cape May Colors #2

Cape May Colors

Last weekend was all about the beach again. This time was Cape May, NJ. The thing about this place was that not only the beach was nice but the town was actually very interesting, full of vintage houses with bold colors.

SoHo Stroll

Not only that SoHo is a great place to shop and hang out, but the lack of skyscrappers there made this series of playing with light and shadow possible.
