The past 4 months have flown by and I haven’t been able to keep up with posting anything. Here is a smattering of what I’ve been up too.
As a kid growing up in the 90’s, I was a metalhead. My wife on the other hand, was most certainly not and enjoyed all of the hip-hop and R&B stuff. So when she saw a cruise dedicated to to 90’s hip-hop, she started packing.
It was actually quite an amusing cruise. The shows were pretty much constant from 2pm until after midnight and they had many other activities set up as well. The whole thing went off great and everybody on board seemed to love it. The artists were fantastic and it was entertaining walking around the boat and bumping into Vanilla Ice, Vin Rock and the others. We even were hanging out at the bar one night with Tone Loc after his set.
My wife and I have recently returned from our latest trip to Mexico. We went down with some friends and had a great time together. My basic camera kit came along for the trip as well.
In order to try and pack somewhat light, I brought along the X-Pro2, Rokinon 12mm, Fuji 18-55mm, 23mm f/2 and 35mm f/1.4. While this may seem like a lot, the kit is very compact and rather lightweight all together. The kit, along with a Surface Pro 4, accessories, Velbon Ultra Maxi tripod and other stuff all fit into my backpack as my carry on personal item on the plane. This kit let me shoot essentially everything I needed. Long exposures on the beach at night were no issue and the 18-55mm served well during the day on the beach to prevent changing lenses most often.
