Last night, Tien and I went to see Star Trek 2, then we got a crepe and took some photos on our way home.

Tonight I got together with my friend Nathan for the first time in forever. We passed through Rickhouse on our way around downtown and had a sip of Ardbeg Corryvreckan. I hadn't been to Rickhouse since I had my D3s, so it was interesting to see how well the low light performance of the D800 compared. I think it did spectacularly, and although I really love the D3s, I gotta say I think the D800 is better overall.

I spent a good portion of the day driving back and forth between my house and the hospital to help my landlord with some medical errands. There is really not much to photograph around Geary and Divisadero, and I ended up hanging out in the van with this dashboard bobble doggie.

This evening Aaron Poletti and I walked from my house up to the Cliff House and back, taking photos and talking.

Sometimes you zip, sometimes you zap.

I'd been throwing around the idea of picking up a f/1.2 lens, but the thought of having another MF lens wasn't all that awesome. My friend Dan picked up the Canon 50mm f/1.2L AF and after looking at how great the images were I thought I'd finally pick one up, so I found this pre-AI Nikkor 55mm f/1.2 S•C on CL. It just barely fits on my D800, but I'll have to have it converted in order for it to function well. It's too bad that Canon is the only manufacturer who makes f/1.2 AF lenses.

I posted this in full resolution because the tiny details are interesting.

Brianna just recently got back from spending over two months in SE Asia. We hung out at the beach for a few hours and she told me all about her travels.

I've been looking for work and interviewing for the last week or so, which is sometimes more stressful than it seems like it would be. Tien and I decided to go out to the old neighborhood and chow down on some delicious not so healthy food, one of our favorites, Golden Boy Pizza.
