35 f/2 v4 arrived today, in a fancy box. handwritten sender's/return address, tons of international postage. looks very cool. i'll have pictures of it later on.
went to the mall to check if it worked right and to get used to rf focusing/metering. here's some resulting images:
;)
my father (indiana jones) shooting me a bird, fun times. the people around must have thought we were insane... holding a gray-card to make sure the meter worked correctly, and shooting pictures of random shit. mall cops told me to stop shooting in the mall, as it was private property. he told me to go outside in the parking lot, which is still the same private property... i think he was just pissy because i tried to be stealthy and take their picture without asking. well, needless to say, it didn't stop me from shooting.

this kid who graduated a few years back came up and was like "hello". apparently he knew me and sat with me back in the day at the lunch table. i believe he told me his name was josh or something.

carlos, a good friend of mine, found me. apparently a lot of people from kell were at the mall that day. carlos posed for a picture with my new "ballin'" camera. carlos loves him some pictures of himself. he should be at a party in bum-fuck eqypt right now if all went well with his life.;)
matthew tam, a kid still in high school (kell), also found me. we had world history together. cool dude.
