<span style="font-size: large;">Well, many cloudy days continue but after a break in the rain I headed out. This shot was f5.6 1/125 55mm focal length (about 80mm with crop sensor factor). I still have been up in the air about a telephoto or prime as my first lens. The last thing that I wanted when coming back to interchangeable lens cameras was always chasing the next great lens. I am intrigued by the Fuji 27mm 2.8 pancake lens. With that lens on my X-T1 it's almost pocketable.</span></div>

After spending quite a bit of time with my Fuji X100T I missed having a bit of telephoto in different situations. I've had a bit of a love affair with the X100 family (I owned the original and the T) but since I can't afford two cameras it was time to sell the "T" and look for something that would give me a bit of telephoto if need arises. I looked at bridge cameras, looking to steer clear of interchangeable lenses but I would not be able to live with the small sensors. The Fuji X system seemed to fit the bill. Now, I don't have an issue with earlier generation camera bodies so I looked at the X T1 which is about 4 years from its first release. I found a lightly used, 2000 shutter actuations, with box and documentation for a great price (eBay). I could only afford one lens now so I chose the 18-55 2.8-4. I'll be spending some time getting used to some different controls from the X100T and I'll post some pics as me and x t1 get used to each other.<br />

Today I thought of just having a bit of fun in Glen Ellyn. It's kind of my own little photography exercise to open my eyes to my surroundings. So, "Where am I" in Glen Ellyn. Prizes will be awarded! (not)</div>

Well... the man cave got booted from the third bedroom to the basement! All I need is some milk crates, cinder blocks, and these tubs and I'm doing the retro college dorm thing. It's all good! Notice what's left of the behemoth metal desk. I paid about 50 bucks three years ago to buy that thing. Craigslist. I knew the minute I went to get it in Naperville that I had made a mistake. It weighs a ton!! Anyway, Jim Hall and his son in law, Joe, helped me wrestle it upstairs at the time. Getting rid of it turned out to be a bit easier. Drawers out, top off (which we turned into a laundry table), legs off and then slid the rest, which you can see in the pic, down the stairs and then out to the dumpster! Yay me!!</div>

Well, not the blizzard that was predicted. Maybe this is the end of winter? Even though there was only about an inch of snow, incredibly, there were some tracks (you may be able to see in the snow) from cross country skis. Cheri and I used to be gung ho like that. If there was any kind of snow we'd be out there.<br />

Well... it's snowing cats and dogs! Just last weekend I was cooking with the barbeque! 60 degrees! I'll get outside in a bit with my camera to snap a few pics of the snow and maybe walk the critter. (Bjernt). I'm working off of my old white macbook, sitting in the blog seat in the living room. The battery is deader than a doornail but it works (kind of) plugged in.<br />
Early trip to my favorite grocer today. Aldi! Chicken on sale today so we will have chix sandwiches tonight. I'm sure you all wanted to know.<br />
Anyway.... I'll be out later to snap those snow pics!<br />

I have come to the conclusion that this blog benefits me the most, possible as an online journal with pics. So... That being said..... February 19, a new commitment to posting! That means getting out or having my camera with me. It's not just about the pics though. Going through my blog it's nice to see a little bit of where I have been even though the posts are sparse. So then away we go!</div>

Well, an epiphany, of sorts, today. I've been thinking about photography and how I feel about it. For 40 plus years whenever I'm out shooting all I can think about is, is this commercial, will it sell. So, I've gotten to the point where I'm frozen as a photographer. My camera sits at home because I think I haven't the time to look for the "perfect shot". I'm going to jump out of that box and try to have my camera pretty much wherever I go and post my life, what I see, through my camera lens. And now, off we go-</div>

Well... a bit of warmth has finally arrived and a few green shoots have popped up. The tram starts back up on April 12 and I'm driving and interpreting the first tour. I've been looking at some arboretum history that I'm thinking of using this year.</div>

The sugar maples at the Arb have finally turned into gold. It's going to be windy and cold tonight so this could be about the last we'll see of the leaves for the year. Oh, well. Time to get ready for cross country skiing and snow shoeing soon!</div>
