THE 50mm IS FINALLY HERE! Which means I get to play around with my Mark II at all hours of the day. I don't think I've put it down since the lens came in.
In other news, my brother and I put a scheme together about a month ago to surprise my mom for a late Mother's Day present and fly Joe in from NYC while I'm home from Seattle. I coordinated all of our schedules with mom's work, our step-dad's plans, my trip, Joe's trip, the list goes on. All in all, the plan went perfectly, and you can watch the surprise my brother filmed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjJ0JyBdNAA&noredirect=1

Needless to say, we are having the best time being reunited. We only get to hang out together about twice a year now that we are on different coasts. But man, my family is the BEST.
We had dinner together and of course, a low hoop dunk contest.

and the game is on..

 

Mom scored a basket.

Clearly Joe won the dunk contest. That's fine.
