I need to pull it out more, though. The other day I was contemplating buying a 35mm fixed lens, too, and trying to use mostly that for snapshots/house stuff and the 50mm for portraits/close ups of projects, etc. and weaning myself off zoom lenses. But there's no budget for another lens right now, so that plan will have to wait!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10081092234118387690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3666263925017036906.post-85905681393212251632013-04-21T02:52:05.495-04:002013-04-21T02:52:05.495-04:00Abe is so cute with his serious little face!

I don't know how much it was the lens and how much it was the better lighting later in the day...I need to work on becoming the kind of person who can tell which thing helped the most! The fixed 50mm is a cheapie, but a nice thing to have around. I get really lazy about switching lenses, though.

His hair and skin are all glowy and perfect. No wonder someone I know is all about him! ;) I see a lot of Ari in today's pictures of Gus. And i always see Milo expressions in Abe!<br /><br />Abe is the best, even if his amazing sleep habits make me want to weep at the unfairness of it all. I call dibs on holding him next time!Kristi Anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3666263925017036906.post-45310803214867018912013-04-18T12:50:22.860-04:002013-04-18T12:50:22.860-04:00They are such BEAUTIFUL boys!
