I took this above Beilstein along the Mosel River in Germany on our wedding road trip vacation from Lyon to Geilenkirchen.

WaMu Tower
WaMu Tower by me
This is a photo of the Washington Mutual Tower in Seattle from when I first got my Rebel XT and still had Canon’s bargain-priced 50/1.8 lens. It’s a nice lens, lightweight and very sharp. The big drawbacks for me were plastic construction, the loud AF motor, and the very loose-feeling manual focus ring. Still, I think it’s a far better choice for a first lens than the standard kit lens – it’s great for low-light photography and consistently makes nice portraits. Since I didn’t like or use the AF much I sold it and got a couple of old manual screw-mount 50mm lenses instead.

Halibut Face
Halibut Face by me
This lovely photo of a halibut face was taken with a Canon Rebel G film camera – the one that Andre Agassi did ads like this for. I still have the camera but don’t use it much since a Spotmatic is way cooler and doesn’t use huge lithium batteries.
Part of our Fall 2008 European adventure with Mandi’s mom and grandma and our friend Cassie. Trier has a bunch of cool Roman ruins, including a spectacular gate and giant bath house with dank underground parts.
