Happy people, happy times...

broken lens

...but not a happy camera.

Had a lovely time at the lovely Laura and the lovely Will’s engagement party…but my lens did not. It now looks something like the picture above (which I have shamefully stolen from Sarah Jane via facebook!) and it has now officially died. I say ‘officially’ because this lens was purchased for a ridiculously cheap price and has broken half a dozen times before, but has always gone back together and worked just fine. The last time it broke was on the table at IHOP in Anaheim, and I put it back together with a knife. Until now, when someone who is not me decided to demonstrate its ability to fall apart and be put back together, when something snapped and now all the king’s horses and all the king’s men cannot put this 50mm back together again.

Instead, we experimented with what pub photography can look like when your lens comes in two pieces.

The answer is: very grainy. And without a lot of focus. Huh.

So…happy engagement, Laura & Will! And happy lens shopping to me! The latter being not quite as exciting, but it will do.
