Why, yes, I DO have a new lens. I got a LensBaby Sweet 50 – it was part of my medium-term plan to keep busy while my foot gets well enough to walk on. That’s 25 more days, for those of you keeping track, so I needed to think of a project that I could do inside my house. And like skillful photographers everywhere, I used that little project as a justification for a new lens. I mean, I only had to convince myself and I’m notoriously easy to sway, but still you never know.
