To add to my initial post, in the interim I’ve bought both a 35mm f1.4 and a 20mm f2.0 which are relegated to the X-Pro1 as they are perfectly matched. I came across a X-T1 under warranty last year on e-bay on the cheap so I grabbed it, and the 18-55 f2.8-4.0 sees duties on it. These are well matched as well. When Fuji had the 55-200mm zooms on sale for $500 in the spring I succumbed to GAS and grabbed one of those I’ve not had a lens with that much reach since I sold the Nikon kit, so developing an eye for it will take a bit of…
Getting to the task at hand
Hello all, This website was originally intended to be my blog about my photography. So with that, let’s get started with a bit of a review: I’m a fairly long term photographer, starting in college many years ago with an Olympus OM-1n. In those days I primarily shot Tri-x and have a plethora of negatives that I now need to digitize, but that’s a story for another blog entry.

So a casual decision was made to prepare the house for sale, and get ready to do that. The hardscape outside was redone, the less said about that experience the better as that was possibly the singular worse contractor experience ever. There is still…
My requisite annual post :)
Well, this isn’t exactly going as planned. H’mmm. Perhaps it’s time to revisit. There has been plenty to write about in the last year or so, I’ve just not felt the need (motivation?) to actually post it here. So, here is a proposal for a New Years Resolution: Post something here on a weekly basis. What think thee? Oh, wait, I’ve turned off comments. LOL. I really need to do this more.
Getting ready!
