I bought a EF50mm f/1.8 MK II for my EOS Kiss F recently and am enjoying it immensely.  I was also lucky enough to find a photographer in my area who was selling an EF50mm f/1.4 USM.  Yay me!  Normally in situations like this, I would be kind of bummed to have spent the extra money on a newer albeit “lower” quality item only to find a great offer for the better item, however, this time I am feeling great.  I have a truly great lens to use for important photographic moments, and one to use and abuse as my walk around lens.  And I still use my kit lens too!

The following image was taken with my EF50mm f/1.8 over the weekend before I picked up the f/1.4; I hope you like it.

Last night after I finished studying Japanese I decided to take some photos of three Daruma Dolls that my daughter plays with. Daruma Dolls can be found in many places in Japan and they are one of the symbols of Koshigaya City where I live. An explanation on what they are can be found at the following wiki on Daruma Dolls.

Anyway I am really enjoying photography as my new hobby. It really offers me a fresh perspective on the world, and allows me to be creative w/o sitting in front of the computer, which is way way easier. Recently I have also bought a new lens, a Canon EF50mm f/1.8 which I’ll be putting to use this weekend.  You can see more pictures on my Flickr page.

I bought a new Canon DSLR recently.  The Canon EOS Kiss F—or Rebel XS/1000D depending on your area of the world.  It was a spur of the moment buy and I used my birthday as the excuse.  I’m not sure what quite possessed me to go out and buy it, but I am glad I did.  I find that I enjoy photography quite a bit, though I am starting to realize the potential it has for making one spend copious amounts of money.  The following are some photos I took with the Kiss F and its bundled kit lens.
