What?! Me again!

The replacement for my stolen camera lens last Christmas eve arrived today. It's a 50mm f/1.4 and I just had to immediately test it. Of course, my first model is our little girl Chama. You can just hear her sigh of resignation...
First day at Univ. of Washington for winter quarter of my photography class. We had a special guest speaker Chris Jordan who talked about his artworks on mass consumption. Check out his TEDx talk when you have time:

Dogs and kids...... they all seem to give a camera person that "sigh"!!! This is a cute one. You got the shot despite his distain..... Nice!

What a super shot of your dog. That nifty fifty is an awesome lens, isn't it? Thank you for sharing that TEDx talk with us, Leia. I had seen the preview of the movie before but the two minute clip he showed at the end of his talk was very poignant and heart breaking.

Soooooo cute

[Rick Schies]

[Daryl O'Hare]

[Elisabeth Sæter]

So cute!

[Ria]

Chama is perfect and needs a treat:) Maybe your other lens will show up, terrible to think of it being stolen...little punks anyway! Thanks for utube!

[Nita]

Beautiful, I am sure it Chama but the new lens did it's job too.

[Leia Smith]

@steampowered yes, the 2 minute video he showed at the end of his talk is just heartbreaking. Chris Jordan accomplished what he wanted us to feel - grief and love.

@tuya @digitalrn @nanderson @darylo @elisasaeter @eu4ria1 @sansjuan @sansjuan Thanks, Chama is a great sport. Daryl, what mix is your dog? Chama is a chihuahua mixed with unknown but I always claim its with a scarredy cat since she is afraid of most things except my camera:-)

Nice shot, I love my 50mm lens! I probably use it more than all the others combined. Glad you got a replacement.
