If not, Happy June! See ya all very soon!

hey man, good luck on the wedding shoot haha. For the vaccine, the first shot for me was ok, nothing bad. Second shot was ok too, just felt tired and warm for the day after. Next day, back to normal. It feels so nice; it's like a weight lifted off your shoulders. I really want to visit SK one day. But I'm in this weird phase of life where I really can't think about serious travel like that til my graduate studies finish. It's hard to relax when there is so much work to be done. Hopefully, one day I'll take that trip and bring my cutesy A7c for the memoriessss.

Hey @Jason Vong, how does street photography work in Korea? I know the law regarding this is pretty chill in the USA, but in Germany, I better ask every one for permission first, and even get a model release contract before publishing stuff online... You probably can imagine that street photos of ppl, like the great one you took of the lady in the restaurant are basically not possible if you give a damn about the law..

Welcome back to the State, Jason. I like how you interpret the street photos differently than most of the locals throughout your shots.

Or darn cookies tracking my clicks? 😅 ISO up to 12.8K with acceptable grain on a high MP count A1 sensor? Makes me wonder what the low light performance will be on the 4th generation A7 even if the MP count creeps up a bit.
