I decided to walk on 42nd streeet from 12th avenue to 1st avenue of NYC.  It helped to have a little focus when shooting stuff.

12th avenue - Westside HWY.  This is ~13 mile stretch of path for cyclists and runners that spans the westside of Manhattan.

So I’ve been shooting a little with Regina’s dad’s old lens from an SLR, a Nikkor-S Auto 50mm f/1.4.  The auto focus doesn’t work on my digital camera and so I have to do everything manual.  When i get the settings right, i.e. not over/under exposing and focusing correctly, the pictures turn out amazing!

Check out the pictures from Regina’s food blog.

Andrew and Angel invited me to volunteer at a fundraiser for the MPSC. It was 1920′s young supporters event with celebrity bartender, David Plant of Pravda. I checked coats all evening with Jack, Audrey, Andrea, and Jenny. It was kinda hectic organizing coats when we ran out of space, but I’m glad everyone got their stuff back. =P

Here are some pictures from the night using Regina’s dad’s lens.

I think for everyday purposes i prefer to shoot with Andrew’s lens, the 18-200mm, because it’s so versatile.  But when it comes to taking pictures of things that are stationary and need more of a macro feel it, I gotta go with the 50mm 1.4.

Regina found Cousin Itt, bagged it, and sent it off to locks of love!

Regina and I went back to the scene of the crime … er … where we got engaged. (11th and the westside hwy) We didn’t have much time to celebrate her birthday with just the two of us because it was a busy weekend.  And so we went to the spotted pig with just the two of us. Happy 28th wife!

Rita and Big Frank are expecting!! Regina and I discovered that they’re building a nest. Regina started a daily blog about this :: Click Here :: Let’s see what hatches!! (Side note:: the pigeons were shot with a 135mm telephoto lens that belonged to Regina’s grandfather. It’s a little difficult to use since it lacks the auto settings of today’s lenses.)
