Incredibly lucky that I had my camera out today as I was heading back home from class, and bumped into my friend Chunyi at the bus stop. The GF1 + Leica 50mm Summicron combo is very hard to control at f/2, but if you can nail the focus... the results are outstanding.

Woke up at 2pm and went online to see everyone say "Wow what a nice day!" "It's so beautiful outside!"

Lingered around the house for a bit... then said, "OKAY, GET OUT OF THE DOOR LET'S GO!"

I had to do some reading... and since lugging a 5D with a heavy backpack would have been a pain, I opted to give my GF1 a chance. Very pleased with the results =).

Tested the Leica 50mm summicron on the GF1, it's pretty darn hard to focus. Using any lens on a GF1 will give you 2x more focal length. So effectively the 50mm acts like a 100mm. The following are a mix of the summicron and the normal 20mm f/1.7

The Usual

It's really easy to dismiss your everyday surroundings and label them as "boring." But really no matter where you are... there's definitely something going on and worth noticing, even if you go to this over populated, wanna-be-hipster infested, and drab university that is UT.

For me, I really like seeing how the light at sunset effects the random stuff I see walking home from class.



A guy from Japan came to the arcade yesterday to play street fighter... I asked him in my broken japanese...写真  を  とりますか? (I take picture?).

The way light plays on the new buildings on campus is a refreshing sight.

Had a nice lunch with my friend Erica today at Thanh Nhi =).

I really don't understand how Thanh Nhi's owner prepares her rice or chicken, she makes something so simple so good! Hah.

All images were taken with a Panasonic GF1 with the 20mm f/1.7 lens.
