Purchase #8: Nikon 35mm f/1.8g AF-S

Nikon 35mm f/1.8g AF-S

I get the feeling they weren't kidding when they told me that the lens you use plays a huge role in the quality of photography you take. I guess I always took it as just some arrogant pro saying that "your stock crap ain't good enough to keep up with me son!".

My D60, the camera I use for most of the photos on this site, has become somewhat cumbersome to carry around everywhere I go so it seemed like a natural progression to find a fixed lens that I could use daily!

With all that in mind I picked it up from Teds Cameras after they priced matched to $349 which was a song for such a versatile lens.

Very Very happy with it so far so expect a different style of photography on the site. Check out some of the test shots here.

Chocolate craving

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Hug Mug at Max Brenner

I do prefer San Churro over Max Brenner but every now and then you can't help but get a instant craving. After dinner to celebrate Kim and I's new car purchases we rushed over to QV in the city to grab a Milk Hot Chocolate.

Kim picks up her a Red Toyota Yaris YR-S in 3 weeks which is exactly what she wanted following her written off incident.

I think that the chocolate strawberries alone are worth the visit, but we we're too full from dinner to even attempt it.

Purchase #7 - 2001 Honda Integra Type R

2001 Honda Integra Type R

Just to refresh your memory, do you remember this and this?

I did miss out the birthday wish for a new car and had to wait a month late but I finally committed to a very clean 2001 example showing that patience does pay off. She has just over 140,000 on the clock but the condition more than made up for it.

It also feels weird sitting in a sports car after driving hatchbacks for 7 years! It makes me wonder how long I really want to keep her... but maybe that's just me playing devils advocate.

Never the less, this could be the start of a beautiful relationship! lol
