Great job everyone on preserving and sharing your culture! Congrats to all the graduates.<\/p>\n

I was still tired from my work trip so I brought a simple Canon loadout, but also used the opportunity to practice with some old ancient lenses: a Nikon 80-200mm f\/4.5 and some Pentax Takumars, a 50mm 1.4 and 135mm.\u00a0 All three manual focus with interesting rendering for event photography.\u00a0 Afterwards made a fruitless trip to the local flea markets looking for old Super Nintendo videogames, which have become overpriced collectibles sadly.\u00a0 After some annoying experiences, I realize I would much rather buy an old photo lens as opposed to rewarding these greedy speculators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
