After a post I did on Defgrip about point and shoot cameras, I got a lot of emails from friends giving me feedback on the p&s cameras they have and what they think I should get. Everyone was backing up the T2, but for some reason, I was feeling like I wanted more of a camera right now. I had finally decided what I was going to get and my plan was to get a T2 now and a G2 for the summer… I’m not sure what happened, but that plan quickly went south when Chad Moore pointed me to keh.com. They had a nice selection of Contax and a lot of options for the G2′s. Michaela and I had decided to get each other wedding gifts. I got here some earrings at Tiffany’s, but I had yet to pick my gift… What better way to spend someone you love’s money than on cameras… So that was pretty much it. The gift/keh… I was going for the G2.

I picked up a body that is in amazing condition… Looks brand new. I went with the f2 45mm lens and a TLA 200 flash and since you can never ship anything good to Canada, I had it shipped to my mom’s in Seattle. I picked the camera on my way to Portland and have had nothing but good luck with it. The quality and clarity of the photos are amazing and I’m super psyched I went with the G2. I’m still trying to get comfortable with the autofocus, but things like that come with time behind the lens.

I still think I’ll pick up a T2 because there is nothing like throwing a camera in your back pocket, but I’m not sure if I’ll use anything more than the G2 for a long time. Here’s a few shots of the first roll I ran through it. I think the film was just some drugstore bought Fuji Super HQ and I got them processed and scanned at the drug store… No better way to go! Hahaha. Oh, the photos are from a little poker game that I definitely didn’t win at Chris Martindale, Casey, and Josh’s place, with Josh Kechloian, Brian Chase, Burley, and Andrew McMullen.

You can check out all my G2 photos on Flickr here.

Last week Michaela and I went down to Seattle to hang out with everyone and so I could get a suit for our wedding… We are getting married in January… Coming up soooo fast!! We went to Barney’s with Josh, Shanti, and Chris Martindale… We took over the whole dressing room and had a blast. I ended up getting a suit form this brand called Spurr… I guess it’s some dude who used to work at Doir. Psyched none the less… It’s my first suit and it was 40% off!! Now I just need some shoes, and shirt and a tie… Maybe even a pocket square.

Other than that, we chilled at Chris and Casey’s and played some poker, helped my mom move into a new art space she’s renting, so she can start painting more. Then Sunday night, we went to my dad’s and got wrapped into a heavy game of Monopoly that lasted four hours!! haha… Here’s some photos.

Some new Clarks Desert Boots!
