hello, winter.

I really enjoy good transitions.

Change is fine. I can deal with change. I just really like the transition to be tasteful. This is a fact that can be applied to any part of my life, whether it be big things (such as moving to a different state) or seemingly pointless things (like switching songs before one is done–fade it out!).

This year’s transition between fall and winter has been really nice, in Minnesota at least. The warmth of summer hung on tightly throughout the fall months and even well into November. But, as anybody could have guessed, it had to come to an end.

Here are a few photographs through which I am officially saying goodbye to fall and hello to winter.

new lens.

So I purchased a new lens for my camera a couple weeks ago (a Canon 50mm 1.4 for those of you who know/care). My old, cheap kit lens had broken a while ago, so it was definitely a necessary purchase. I had no idea how big of a difference the lens made. I mean, I had always heard and read that it’s more about the lens, less about the actual camera body–but wow. Anyways, here are some photos from my tests (click to see full size).

too long.

Hey all (by “all” I’m referring to the multitudes of peeps who are reading this) ,

I’m not even going to say “it’s been a while,” no, that would be a disgusting understatement. It’s been way too long. That’s okay though. I saw that I had a single visitor today and that was all the motivation I needed to post this update blog. Not like, a life update. But just an update on this blog.

I’ve decided to turn this thing into a photoblog of sorts. By that I pretty much mean a place to show photographs that I’ve taken and possibly tell stories if the photograph contains a story to be told.

That’s all. Hopefully you’ll be seeing some photos soon!
