Lense fetish and other stuff.


My friend Manya has done her best to coach me through this fetish. She makes her living as a photographer. I'm someone with pretensions of getting another " one in a million pic".
I took a picture of a woman on the waterfront in Beirut and have been hooked on taking pictures ever since. The original snap was on a very crappy Olympus camera and ever since I've been burning through cash and trying to do a little better every time. It seems the better the equipment, the more unforgiving my eye is becoming. The point of all this is that I just spent £1300 on TWO lenses. .....That's exactly DOUBLE what I paid for my camera.
I bought them online and saved £400.
I had a £10 pizza to celebrate my birthday....so what the hell.
But still.
Manya, I can hear you sighing 10,000 miles away.
Sorry.
All of your advice went out the window when I read the reviews...........
Here's the pic that made me think I could take pics. If you want to see it in all its glory just click on it.
The hint of skin around the sad wrist is particularly poignant in my humble opinion:
Finally:
What the hell were these people thinking???????

A life of " You want fries with that?" beckons them both.

Love to you all.
