It’s the eyes
In wake of my recent crazy overspending on cameras, I took a few minutes before the Chinese new year and thought about WHY?
And then it hit me. I’m sure I got the reason right on…
(Oh, gotta insert pretty picture before the cut to grab attention)

No more girl pics.
I have a fetish with Lenses. I love them. They’re so pretty to look at, and the things they can do are amazing.
Just like how crows like to collect shiny things, I can’t get enough of them lenses.
Some random lenses for your pleasure:
look at this one… it’s so shiny… Carl Zeiss f2.0 …

And heres the same lens with a good view of that greenish enticing glow from the lens coating… mmm.. coating….

Whenever I look at lenses I can’t help but wonder what’s inside that barrel. So mysterious… so dreamy…

And here here.. I saved this one till the last. This is a Canadian made Leica Noctilux lens that costs $3000. If I could get you to stare at that orangy glow for a minute…

What is money? It’s so abstract… What a carefree world…

Happy Monkey year!
I’ts supposed to be a bad year for us monkey people. Everyone have their bad years ploted out at every 12- year interval. (Watch out when your own zodiac go against the year’s zodiac)
My last bad year was….when I was 11 years old i suppose… 12 years ago. What a year. Our family somehow moved to some forign country, and I never set foot on my homeland since.
This year is supposed to be big too. I’m supposed to leave Japan. I will graduate (maybe). I will be out of a job.. Who knows what will happen.
You forgot to mention about the strange looking mobile phone in picture#1, it is made by our beluv’d SANYO.
Ya, “Carl Zeiss” rocks, they cost nothing because money is abstract.
Glad that the last lens is not American. Be proud, Canadians!
Dude, the AU girl has almost nothing to do with this! You tricked me into thinking there are more close shots of her only to realize the “eyes” meant the eyes of the CAMERA, not the girl. But that pic is pretty nice though.

Whoa, I thought I was all alone as a lens addict! Glad to hear there are others out there.
