Canon 50mm EF f/1.8 II

Ordered a new lens tonight! Pretty excited since I only have one lens. The lens I have now is a great lens. However this one is 50mm at a fixed focal length, and faster. Goes all the way to f/1.8, which means a more shallow depth of field really separating the foreground and background. I think it will be awesome for portraits especially. It will be here in more than a week. Images to follow!

Child Food

After researching for a few weeks, and reading a whole book in two nights, I finally attempted photographing food. I think it is important to not only be a well rounded person in life, but also in your career. Never stop learning. While these are not my favorite at all, I think they are at least decent, and a good start. Its grilled cheese. Hopefully you figured that out. There are little sticks all up in it holding it together. I was reminded of that when I took a bite of it when I was finished.

A great book. I recommend it to anyone looking to learn more about the subject. The different processes used in food styling are amazing.

So that is that for now. Next time I will shoot something a little more classy. Maybe some drinks too.

A Single Man

This movie was amazing, and beautiful in so many ways. The photography, the story, the style, the setting, and the people as well.

Vibram FiveFingers

 

My brother Mike sent me a message tonight about these new shoes him and his girlfriend bought. They are pretty interesting. They are outdoor shoes made for hiking, running, etc. He said they are comfortable, and they do look very comfortable. You can check out the other styles and colors by visiting Vibram's website here.

 

 

Hope these aren't the next crocs trend. Yeah, i admit, I own crocs, BUT I HAD THEM BEFORE MOMS STARTED PUTTING DECORATIONS ON THEM.

San Alfonso del Mar

World's largest swimming pool, located in Algarrobo, Chile. I'd like to go diving for coins.

Do they come in blue?
