The waiting game.

I ordered a new lens for my camera from one of my favorite places on earth, www.bhphotovideo.com. For my photog readers it is a Canon 50 mm 1.8 lens. I went with the cheapest of the 3 like it because of the reviews and my budget. It came today and of course was dropped off by UPS while I was getting ready for work and had no time to open it let alone play. I pondered calling off work for a minute to go to the park and see what it could do. Then I remembered I was a somewhat responsible 28 year old and cried a little while I left it for 9 hours in the box. Needless to say I ripped it open the minute I got home and attatched it to my baby and started shooting…. after I opened the wine. It was a long day of waiting. ;) 

Speaking of budgets I really enjoy this wine below. $5.99!!!! 

I wasn't really sure what to take photos of at 9 pm in my house so I began exploring the basement where I keep all my collections. Here are some of my vintage cameras and books. I don't really collect license plates but these were my grandparents. 

 Then I moved onto my collection of vintage Ball jars which happen to currently be stored in one of the vintage crates I collect. 

 I store my collection of vintage and new buttons that I use on my frames in the Ball jars. 

If you don't already know I am obsessed with collecting old things and frequently search out estate and garage sales to find said things. And the reason they are being stored in the basement is because I currently live with my parents. When I move out they will be all over my apt. Don't judge. I have goals. :) 

And lastly, a new frame idea I recently worked on. It's a stencilling technique and I love how it turned out. Partly because I'm obsessed with that pattern. 

Oh and P.S ! I really enjoy the lens so far and can't wait to see what it has to offer out in the natural light.
