New Camera Effects

There was a firmware update for my camera last week. Cool new effects came with it. My favorite so far is called "Toy Camera".





The one called "Retro" is nice too.

Holy Crap.






How expletive rad is this?!?

This solves the dilemma of how to stylishly and covertly lug around a full-on DSLR. genius.

Vinoteca & Art Show 7/31/2010

I have a new fave bar! Vinoteca Farfalla on Hillhurst. They serve Happy Hour every day! I think, the walkable parts of Los Feliz might be my dream neighborhood...

We were so happy to finally see Carla again! We really enjoy her work. My favorite piece of hers was snapped up by her brother years ago. damn. I should have purchased it when I had the chance! Hmmm...maybe I'll invite him to a duel for it one day...


Check out the cool camera effect!

Sony Nex-5

You know how I said Sergio came through big time for my birthday? Well. Look what else he got me:




Isn't it luurrrvly?

I had been eyeing different cameras for a while now. I didn't want to get one of those fancy giant dslrs but I really wanted finer photo quality. Mirrorless mini-dslrs have roared onto the scene and I think this contender from Sony seems perfect for me. Sergio did loads of research before surprising me with his intention to get it. He was going to just surprise me with the camera but thought it would be better if I choose exactly the one I wanted. We also looked at the Olympus Pen and the Panasonic Lumix - both what they call Micro Four Thirds systems. But reviews of this just released in June Sony system were so much stronger. Here's a review of the sony nex camera.

And guess what. There is upcoming 3D Panorama firmware update. What?!? That's just crazy talk. I've played with the sweeping panorama feature already (so cool), but not sure how the 3D stuff will work.

Here are a couple of final parting photos from our trusty little Sony Cyber-shot from the morning we went out to get the Nex-5.
