homemade kimchi: sweeter and not as spicy this time. So much better for warming you up than your typical hot soup/coffee/tea. February 2nd.

Sony Alpha Diaries Day 10: saturday morning sun through Mary's artwork

Sony a57 with Minolta 35-70f4, macro setting requiring manual focus so focus peaking came in handy. January 10th.

Sony Alpha Diaries Day 7: trusty old lens

My vintage Minolta 35-70f4 on a Sony a57,  battered and well-used, taped up and sharper than any other lens outside of Zeiss. I got this as a freebie, and I won't hesitate to use this for paying jobs. Photo was taken with a Blackberry Z10.

"My Struggle" by Karl Ove Knausgaard. taken with the camera/lens combo as seen above. January 7th.

Sony Alpha Diaries Day 5: the city at dusk (in layers)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Downtown Toronto. The lens for this post is a beat-up Minolta 35-70f4 with the rotating focusing mechanism bound with black electrical tape. And as I started to do this blog entry, I spilled some heavily-sugared tea on this lens, resulting in some stickiness. 

I got this lens as a freebie, but it has ended up being my go-to lens, very sharp, and suitable for Full-Frame!  January 5th.
