Repairing Canon 50mm f/1.8

The cheapo $100 lens from B&H is one my my favorites paired with my 7D. One day, I dropped it and the Bottom piece of the inner tube popped out and would not go back in with the lens assembled. Researching this, it’s a common problem. Using this guide, perform the following steps:
1. Set to MF mode
2. Remove AF/MF switch
3. Unscrew silver screw with an eyeglass flat head (to avoid buying a cross-tipped J-spec screwdriver)
4. Turn the clasp outwards
5. Turn the focus ring until the inner tube pops out
6. Drop the bottom of the inner tube into the focus ring
7. Place the assembled focus ring and bottom onto the top of the inner tube
8. Press until you hear it fall into place, make sure that the grooves are lined up to ensure a proper seating
9. Turn clasp back inwards
10. Screw on clasp
11. Re-affix AF/MF cover
12. Take a few test shots!
My AF motor is considerably louder now, but it works! I’m excited to have it back. If you have any questions, I allowed photo replies!

Sliding.

AWD? Yes please! These Subaru's and that Evo (See him hiding?) are showing the battle of the four legged monsters. The body style of the ever-evolving horizontally opposed WRX STi and the all-to-familiar Mitsubishi flaunt their lines.

Battle Los Ang- er, Weight.

Erica and I have tried everything to shake off the extra weight. Since the baby was born, we both packed on the pounds because of poor diet, exercise, and sleep patterns. Myself? I went from 240 to 312. We started the gym and a diet in January of 2011. Between the weigh in and June, I dropped from 312 to 265lbs.
Alright asshole, what did you do?
We cut fats, red meat, big portions, sugars, sweets, and more. Water was the only intake of fluids, and plenty of it. So, what next? We started to slip.

I started to neglect the gym and move from water to diet soda, from diet soda to iced tea, from iced tea to sweet, and, well, you get the picture. I think that I tried to keep all the negative things away and just wanted them all at once. So I gave in. So we now found an even more interesting, and healthy, feat that we are determined to try.
Juice.

60 days of nothing but fresh fruits and vegetables Paired with exercise, I am determined to drop at least 50lbs in 60 days.


But Rob, what after?
I guess I better start liking greens. Lots of them with light, white meat. Fish, chicken, etc. So follow our journey, only 5 more days to prep for it with light foods and meats to prepare for it.
You’ll get one delicious thing per day, complete with weigh in and pictures
What’s in that shit?

The busy and bustle of this tattoo parlor made it all the better.

A breaker in the breaker!

A chain and a glove. Industry can be an interesting subject.

I heard there were old pay stubs in here for employes that were from the 1930's! Wow!

Bills, bills, bills.

Shooting

Photography is definitely a fun and rewarding hobby. But what is photography, anyway?

pho·tog·ra·phy/fəˈtägrəfē/

Noun: The art or practice of taking and processing photographs

That's what Wikipedia calls it anyway. I like to call it art, expression, and a hobby. Follow along with me as we take a journey into all that is my photography.
