Random adventures and the search for a wide-angle lens

Lately, spontaneity has been good to me. Like a friend asking me to get froyo on a boring Friday afternoon, and ending up grocery shopping for her cooking urges. The trip made me feel like a husband, but it was definitely interesting. Which reminds me, I haven't made my chocolate chip cookies yet...

Or a random call on Saturday to shoot Countrywide again, this time with Andy Roddick in semi-finals! I really wish I had a 70-200mm f/2.8 of my own; the office's D2H has only 4MP, so there was so much noise in my shots at high ISOs. :( Sadness. But Safin and Roddick!

I've been looking for a sharp, fast wide-angle lens for future work. I really wish I had the money for a full frame camera and not have to struggle with all the third-party APS-C lenses. They're all good in their own respects, but no all-around good ones. And the issue of money still remains...

Anyway, I found out I'm going to Taiwan at the end of the month for about a week. I guess I'm pretty excited to be going somewhere this summer, and I want to see how Taipei & Taichung have changed since I visited in junior year. Looking forward to photographic adventures, cheap food, and nightlife. :)
