Ground floor

San Jose, California, November 2007. I took this from atop the parking garage of the building in which I currently work (eight stories up); they're constructing another building to match the one that's already there.

I should note that this shot was taken with a Canon PowerShot G9; a great camera to be sure, but I sold it a few months ago because I wanted something a bit smaller to complement my DSLR, and to that end I recently picked up a Ricoh GR Digital II, which I absolutely love.

In other camera news, I recently replaced my 70-200mm f/4.0L USM with the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM. I received the new lens just a few days ago and have been able to shoot with it only once, and even then only for ~30 minutes, but I can tell already that it's going to be my go-to lens; the only negative I can come up with is that it weighs 3.2 pounds (without the tripod collar).

Finally, I realize I've been a bit derelict in updating the photoblog, but as ever, it's not for want of desire, just lack of time. I'm going to try to get back to posting photos more frequently/regularly. Thanks for sticking with me. ;)
