But my camera hasn't been working. I keep getting "error 99" every time I take a picture, which as you can imagine has thwarted my interest in blogging, since in truth the pictures I take generally drive what I write about. But Raph, knowing of my deep difficulty functioning without a camera, looked into the problem and discovered that a messed up lens can cause error 99. So, for my Christmas gift (we don't generally give each other gifts - just the hand-made ornaments - more to come), he got me a lens. A portrait lens that is pretty awesome. It is a fixed 50mm lens, so I can't do the zooming I used to, but it has a kick-ass depth of field that is short and I LOVE it. So rest assured, I can shoot photos again, and maybe I'll get my act together to blog more often. That sounds eerily like a new year's resolution, but rest assured it's not. As Tamara says, "I don't do that shit!"
We were absolutely blessed with a 70 degree sunny day yesterday, so here are some of my first pictures with my new lens...
