These boots were made for walking…(err, I don’t think so)

I couldn’t believe my good fortune a week ago when I did a search on Craigslist and found this used Pentax autofocus prime lens. I’ve wanted it since I bought my K100D, but it’s rare to see used primes on sale because once people buy them, they don’t let them go! I’m still rather new to the DSLR world, so I chatted with the K10D owner — a young and fetching lad who may blush if he reads this — for nearly an hour on Wednesday to pick his brain discuss the finer points of various Pentax lenses. He’s also from BC (The Island)!

This week’s been busy at work (was at the office until almost 7pm today) and all I want to do when I get home is eat and pass out, so my first set of shots with the 50mm wasn’t until last night, when I moseyed around the neighbourhood after going to the post office. Some of the photos, forthwith:

I live in an old Polish neighbourhood full of wonderful independent purveyors of food: delicatessens, bakeries, fruit and vegetable markets, cheese shops, AND good restaurants. It’s (a Polish version of) food heaven. Long live the pirogi!
