The world through 50 mm

Ornamentale, Cesis, Latvia, 2010

Different lenses offer different ways of seeing the world. The telephoto lenses tend to make a photographer lazy, since you have the comfort of a zoom at your fingertips, and laziness tends to scare away creativity. So, to prevent that from happening, and also since its almost springtime, Ive decided to create a challenge for myself. The challenge of the "nifty fifty" that many photographers have tried before me and found to be an absolute success and enjoyment.

This means that from March I will "glue" the gem that is 50 mm / f 1.8 lens to my trusted camera and see the world only through this magical perspective. The idea is to keep this up all spring but you never know...

And what better way to get it started than in one of the most exciting cities of Europe (if not the world for that matter). Which one is that, you might ask? Now that will have to remain a little secret until my return. :)
