Thomas Merton: “Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real.” Strive each day to be who you really are.

Just got back yesterday from Phoenix visiting my parents for about 3 days. I ran around barefoot and in a t-shirt while my parents were in jackets and long pants. Took this image as we drove to DQ for a blizzard. It wasn’t that cold for them. 🙂

Okay, I pulled the trigger …
… and bought the Fijifilm X-E1 and the kit lens, the 18-55m f2.8-4.0. Yes I know they just came out with an updated version appropriately called the X-E2. However, because of the new camera the price dropped significantly for me to purchase the X-E1. I also had a gift certificate which helped. I’ve lusted for this camera every since it came out almost a year ago.
All 5 of these images were shot in “Professional Mode”, fine jpeg format and straight out the camera (except where noted). No sharpening, no tone adjustments. Nothing. I framed the image and pressed the shutter button. My intent was to see what the camera was capable of doing. First impressions are positive. It is built solid and weighs more than I expected with that zoom lens. Love the tightness of the zoom ring and the soft click of the aperture ring. Since it is a rangefinder style camera, and the first one I’ve ever owned, I feel awkward but don’t expect that to last very long.
