X-junior

Posted on July 3, 2013 by Karim • 4 Comments

A couple months ago, I made an unnecessary purchase. I wanted a mid-size camera to keep in my work bag and take with me everywhere. The 5D is obviously too big, and the X-Pro1 doesn’t work either (I’m too protective). Because I already own a small point and shoot, there was no pressing reason for me … Continue reading →

Thoughts on my Canon 100mm

Posted on June 4, 2013 by Karim • 2 Comments

I finally decided to buy my first macro lens about six months ago. I chose the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM, a lens I’m growing increasingly fond of after each use. It’s also a lens with a rather steep learning curve, at least for me. Perhaps that’s only true because I had zero macro experience before buying this piece … Continue reading →

Thoughts on my Fuji 14mm

Posted on May 13, 2013 by Karim • 16 Comments

I’ve had my X-Pro1 for about five months now, and I’d like to think I’ve put it to good use. Up until recently, all I had was the 35mm lens, which I’m very fond of. I’ve been wanting a wider lens for a while, but I was torn between Fuji’s 18mm and the 14mm. The … Continue reading →

Point and Shoot – Sony DSC-WX80

Posted on April 18, 2013 by Karim • 2 Comments

A while ago I decided I wanted to get a new point-and-shoot camera, particularly one with Wi-Fi capability. I’ve also been wanting to try out a compact from Sony for some time now… in fact I was torn between a NEX and my X-Pro (although I have zero regrets). I ended up buying a DSC-WX80. I … Continue reading →

Taking my pancake out for a spin

Posted on March 24, 2013 by Karim • 2 Comments

I recently bought a Canon 40mm f/2.8 STM lens for my 5D Mark III. I’m trying to avoid buying any glass for it that isn’t L-class, but I really wanted this little lens – it makes my dSLR a lot more compact, and it cost less than $150. On Friday, I finally decided to try … Continue reading →

Welcome to the United States

Posted on February 20, 2013 by Karim • 2 Comments

The director of an Academy Award nominated film was detained Tuesday night at LAX. Emad Burnat is the first Palestinian filmmaker to receive an Oscar nomination. He was on his way to Los Angeles to attend the celebration… but there was something that immigration officials didn’t like about him. Burnat was detained for over an hour and … Continue reading →

Choco Frosted Flakes!

Posted on February 16, 2013 by Karim • Leave a comment

I was pleasantly surprised to see these in the store earlier today. Chocolate corn flakes are pretty common in “the third world” but not so much in the US. I’ve never seen this kind before… maybe I’m blind. Choco Zucaritos, as they’re called in Spanish, are just what the doctor ordered. Ok fine, your doctor … Continue reading →

My baby: Fuji X-Pro1 (and the 35mm)

Posted on February 15, 2013 by Karim • 6 Comments

I just recently started getting into photography. It’s not an easy hobby on one’s wallet, especially when you’re dealing with Canon and want to buy top of the line glass. Luckily for photo enthusiasts who want to take nice pictures, but aren’t willing or able to spend thousands of dollars for a full dSLR kit, … Continue reading →

Here we go again… Django Unchained

Posted on February 15, 2013 by Karim • 1 Comment

Quentin Tarantino gets on my nerves. I like (some of) his movies, but there is something about the guy that rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it’s the way he comes across on camera. For starters, I wish he’d stop making crappy appearances in his movies. His last role in Django Unchained was particularly painful. … Continue reading →

My first Yelp review

Posted on February 15, 2013 by Karim • Leave a comment

I’ve been eating at different places across the DMV for over 20 years… it’s about time I started Yelping! I’m gonna try to make a habit out of it. Here’s a link to my first review. Pho 14 in Adams Morgan… their broth is amazing. Continue reading →
