These are some of my favorite pictures I took from last night. Apparently December Nights in San Diego doesn't continue today, but instead was last Friday and Saturday. My friend Liza came down and we were able to make it to see the Toulouse Latrec exhibit at the Art Museum in Balboa Park. My only regret was not being able to take a picture of one of his prints using my phone. I always get self conscious whenever I want to do that, and then I leave with nothing but a memory. I think what hesitates me in doing so is having to be told that it's not allowed. I have had other instances when that has happened before. And maybe as a New Years resolution to myself would be to sneak pictures in museums starting next year. hehe. Who cares, right? So these were taken with my new lens. I was really excited to use it. And I'm also getting excited at the results. Although as an amateur photographer, I'm beginning to learn the downsides to this new lens. It's not autofocus, so while I was munching on a hot dog in one hand, I couldn't really take a picture of it with the other. Whatever. I do feel like a photographer having to manually focus, and to be honest, I'm just having fun with it.
And, here's a picture of me that Liza took of when I handed her my camera. Not beauty related. And another downside is that the lens is really good for up close shots, and portraits. Not entirely Stockholm Streetstyle, but maybe now, I'll save for another lens that can give me results of full body shots like in street style pictures. I'll have to research.
