I have now just updated the Qwanoes web gallery with new ‘08 images from this past summer. There are now over 50 images within this section of my portfolio and I am extremely happy with it. Go and check out it out.

With the end of summer comes a nice piece of paper that allows me to gather up some new gear. At the moment the new gear list is as follows:

Canon 50MM F1.2L

Sandisk Extreme III 8GB x 2

Western Digital 250GB Passport x 2

I have been in need of a few good high volume memory cards for a while now and since Sandisk has updated their Extreme III to 30MB/s from 20MB/s and kept at the same price (and possibly going down) it was the perfect time to purchase some nice CF cards. 

I have been wrestling over which lens I should be buying this fall for a while now. But after handling the 50MM f1.2 L and taking a few snapshots with it I immediately fell in love with it. Slapped down the cash and have been having a lot of fun with it all afternoon. Here are some samples:

Lastly, I heard that Costco was selling Western Digital 250GB Passport HD’s on sale for $99.99 and I couldn’t pass that up for some cheap back-ups. Their USB 2.0, and completely bus powered which is great for those on the road back-ups.
