Wide Angle

WOW. what a busy day today. like outrageously busy.

I don't know that much about lenses yet, but what I do know is that there are many different types of lenses. One type of lens is a wide angle. They allow you to photograph the widest view. So it gets in lots and lots of information.

WELL.

today started out around 10:30 with a 2 hour architectural walking tour, on which i took almost a whole card full of photos. After that, it was out to lunch, and then the group split up. Some went to the beach to play volleyball, while others, including myself, went to check out the turkish festival. We went out to lunch (foolish foolish move - should have eaten there), stopped by the apartments so I could unload my memory card, and then we were off. Turkish festival was okay, but we missed all the performances so we'll go again tomorrow. BEST BAKLAVA EVER, and nice vendors too.

so because there wasn't much happening at the fair, three of us out of that group of 4 decided to go to millenium park and hang out. We ended up hanging out near this really big fountain that is like... a walk in fountain. Picture if you will: two columns, far apart from each other, spilling water from the top, a small grate around the bottom. Now picture between the tow columns, large puddle of water and lots of people and small children walking around and getting wet. AWESOME. so we spent a while there taking photos of all the adorableness and getting soaked. Afterwards we walked back, split up, ate dinner, then a few of us went back to Millenium park for the gospel concert, which was decent, but absent of moses hogan, and i was sad :-(

also took portraits of fellow scholar! awesome!

now some folks are headed out to an improv club, but i am wayyyy too tired. well, that was my first saturday. hopefully more good times to come, when i'm not completely wiped!
