Ultrawide Heaven . . .

Woot! I got my first ultra-wide lens (EF-S 10-22mm f/2.5-4.5 USM) a few weeks ago and headed out with a buddy to downtown San Jose on a rainy night to use it really for the first time. It's money! Here's a few shots from the crawl.

Reflections of a windy & rainy day...

My first blog post ever. Why blog now? I have a reason that I think is worth while (finally). This blog isn't to detail the days of my life, but to detail the journey of me becoming a better photographer. I thought it would be interesting one day to look back at the days of my hobby starting out and seeing how I progressed from the beginning to whatever point I get to.

Without further adieu, the first image.

I grabbed this shot on the way to lunch at Pier 23 while walking through a puddle filled parking lot on a muggy SF Sunday after a night's worth of rain.
