The weekend’s photos
Wellp, Tibet is almost upon us, and I think I’m ready. I rented a 50mm 1.4 for the weekend for some final practice shots (and decided that I’ll take the 50mm 1.2 with me, instead). Katie and I did some traipsing around, first to an auto show and later into the fog, and I took Read more…
