The weekend and holiday shots.

Alien on Irving Street

I dove into digital photography in 2010 when I bought a Canon G11. At some point I made a decision to post my 1000th photo with that camera–whatever it was. When I got my Canon T2i I decided to carry on with the idea and post my 2000th shot from that camera. Then I got the 5D Mark III and… you guessed it, I committed to posting the 3000th shot. (Truthfully, I cheated on this one and am posting #3002 because #3000 and #3001 got trashed before I remembered the number thing. What the hell, close enough.)

Fiddle player

Last night Maggie and I joined some friends and fellow musicians for an Irish seisiún at the Aqus Cafe. Maggie brought her accordion, but I left my guitar at home and brought a camera instead. The space was relatively dark so I put on my 85mm f/1.8, cranked up the ISO and went for it. Here’s a shot of my friend Scott working his instrument.
