A Lens, baby

Actually it's a lensbaby from lensbabies.com - that's what showed up today in the mail. Finally. I picked it up on eBay at a decent discount but didn't realize that it was coming from Toronto, so it took a couple of weeks for it to show up. Still, pretty cool. It's a lens that you can flex around and get some cool shots like a tilt/shift lens or an old bellows system. Something fun to play with that's cheaper than most digital photo toys. 
















Oh, I also wanted to throw out a little tidbit for anyone thinking of building a website or printing business cards. Do the website first. It's monumentally uncool to spend a few days designing a business card and then send off an order for 2500 of them and then find out the web address you listed is already taken. LAME.   zacthomas.com:(     zacthomas.net:)
What happens after you receive your super cool looking business cards is you go to Walmart and buy some adhesive name badges, you make up a page in Word that just repeats ".net" about six thousand times and then you use a hole punch to punch out each ".net" and then spend a number of hours trying to peal the back off this sticker (that's now the size of  a pencil eraser) and then stick the .net over the .com on hundreds of your super cool business cards. 
Just to recap - webpage, then business card. 
And no, the webpage still isn't up. Hopefully by the weekend.
