0 comments O Brave New Lens
This past Wednesday I was able to pick up my new (to me) Tamron SP AF Di 90mm F/2.8 Macro 1:1 (272EN) from the Zollamt (customs)*.
I excitedly took it out for a shoot Thursday evening, but because it was too dark (low shutter speed), I had shaky hands, and the fact that I had never used this lens before, every photo taken was absolutely worthless.… Read the rest

A few days ago, I was in Aachen with my host brother while my host dad attended a meeting. I found this postcard at a small trinket shop, and it certainly spoke to me.

1 comment November 1 Wald Walk
I went for a photoshoot yesterday in a nearby forest. I kept around 2/3 of the 300 or so photos which I took, and uploaded them to a Flickr album, which can be found here.
This time, I remembered to bring along my macro filters; therefore this album is full of pictures of water droplets and spiders (fair warning).… Read the rest

It looks so large in the pictures, so in reality, it must be smaller
It’s not. It’s actually massive.
It’s also brown, not black, as I had expected. So here’s an obligatory selfie.
During my Autumn break, I had the awesome opportunity to travel to Paris with my host family.… Read the rest

2 comments My Ballot Abroad
En route to Chicago, on July 31, 2014, is where I completed my first election ballot.
