Around the hood Part 2

Omg been so long. But I am back and armed with D70 ;p. Quite a lot has happened but ill go over that another time. I bought the camera 2 days ago and just went out on my first shooting mission. Unfortunately because of the lens I bought (50mm 1.8d) and cause I am a noob, I couldnt really take shots of building or big things :(. Ill prolly get a new lens sometime this month that has zoom or something. This is a sequel to Around the hood which was inspired by Michael Flux.

Anyway just remember that I am a noob and dont know how to use this camera :P I also probably need to redesign this blog. Shrinking photos make me sad :(

But anyway, without further ado.

Happy Bday Me!!

Lol, a bit of a shock logging in to the blog to find out it was down. But have no fear, its up and running again!
Anyway was my birthday on the 7th of March. Celebrated by going out for some nice lunch with the Missus. Here is a quick write up.

So the venue for lunch was the Monnalisa, a small French restaurant in Ebisu that had 1 Michelin star.

My first qualm was with how small it was. The table was ridiculously small and our table was way too close to other people. It was to the extent that you heard everything that they said. While I understand that this is Japan and there is little space, you dont really wanna be worrying about knocking your drink over cause there is no space on the table when you are paying top dollar.
