Photo by Mark Jaquith. (He has a Nikon.)

But sadly it is not mine. (It belongs to PhotoMatt.)

Although I would gladly use it if it were given to me, I would probably never buy one. (Especially not the digital body… didn’t care for it at all…)

Unless, perhaps, I already had a Ferrari. Then… maybe. (But more likely still no.)

So anyway, YAY Friday!! (WEEKEND! And the weather is excellent!)

I like to use parentheses. (Doesn’t everyone?)

Wearing contact lenses coupled with the dim viewfinder of my XTi makes manual focusing incredibly difficult, but for now, I am just happy knowing that one in a hundred photos might actually turn out in some way that I like!

Of course this likely means that in another few months I will be lusting after ludicrously expensive bodies and lenses. What’s that you say? Noctilux f1.0? Curse you, Tommy Oshima’s Flickr photostream!

But for now I really need to get my own Super Takumar! Anyone have one in minty condition for sale (preferably an SMC)? Or a comparable inexpensive, sharp, fast, and awesome lens that can be adapted to the EOS mount?

Anyway I finally got around to taking a picture of one of my most treasured of stuffs…

Grandpa Oyama sure had excellent taste in guitars! I am especially proud of having accidentallycleverly used strategically placed bokeh to obscure some dust.

And the usual flower and bird pictures… but now with more bokeh! YAY!

Sadly, this is not my car.
