On Sunday my coworker Jessica had a housewarming barbecue at her new apartment in Logan Square. It was about 100 degrees outside in the shade, but once the sun went down a little more bearable. All it really meant was that we all drank our margaritas and beer faster than we should have. It was a fun time. And Jessica’s apartment is the cutest.

On a sidenote, I’m going to be starting a class at the Chicago Photography Center and in preparation I got this 50mm lens. I opted for the $70 lens instead of the $300 one. I can tell it’s cheap, but I figure if I really like it, I’ll upgrade to the more expensive lens later. Anyway, these photos were taken with the new 50mm lens.

    regarding the 50mm, you’ll find hidden delights amongst the frustrations. open the aperture and iso at night and the bokeh is fabulous, while, at the same time, the auto focus struggles. it’s my favorite lens, but at the same time, the bane of my shoots. enjoy! and please provide updates on the class on this site so your followers can be clued in!

    That guy Max looks like Bizzaro Dick Costolo, at least from this angle.
