My random life, infront of the lens.

21/52...

this week i was using a new (to me) vintage 70-210mm f3.5 that i got off ebay for $15.

i was just testing it out and getting used to the manual focus, when i saw this family walking up. the dad was not in the best of moods, and the mom may have been the cause. they were walking down the middle of the street, i really do not know why people do this in my neighborhood, we have sidewalks. back to the story, they were walking down the center of the street the son was trailing a little while the parents "talked", loudly.

what caught my eye was the kid, was wearing the hockey mask you see in his hand, oh and he was proceeding to flip off every car that passed them... it was as if the cars shouldn't have been on the road while they were walking in the middle of it. the mom saw this and gave the boy a little smack on the head and pulled the mask off... so dad proceeded to flip off the next car that passed...

i love my neighborhood...

20120416-090948.jpg This photo taught me a valuable lesson.... Buy more memory cards... I almost didn't get this shot. I left my memory card in my computer!!! I saw this couple while I was downtown, and tried to get the shot. Sure enough my "no card" error popped up. My jaw dropped, I missed this shot!!!

I ran home as quick as I could. Normally this is not an issue, but I was also trying out a new camera bag, and forgot to pack my spare card. Dumb move!

Thankfully when I returned they were still sitting there, cute as can be. They waived, and smiled as I took a few pictures.

I hope to have as much love, and passion as they do when I get to be their age.... Well if I make it that far...
