I had been looking for a HDTV for the house for some time. The main reason was to go bigger and better quality. Don't get me wrong the CRT that we got as a Wedding Gift from my Brother-in-Law worked great but it was a tad small, specially when watching movies that are in Widescreen mode.

So 3 weeks ago my beautiful Wife and I bought a 50" Samsung PN50C550 Plasma TV. Let me just say, I'm loving it!
I went with Samsung because recently some surfaced on the Panasonic Plasmas and their color of black fading. So I got a great deal for this TV and it's been worth it. I love the clarity of the picture and I'm amazed how clear everything looks. I had to replace the cable box that we had since it didn't have HDMI connections or the HD channels available. Brighthouse swapped it for free and I'm super happy with it since now I have the best possible picture from the TV. HD channels rule! 

Also I got an up convert DVD player and now our movies are looking awesome! I can't wait for the 2010 World Cup to start to see how awesome Mexico and Italy look playing in South Africa!

Me-xi-co! Me-xi-co!

I got the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 Camera Lens from my beautiful wife for my BDay and I must say that I'm really, really happy with it.

First off, I really like how crisp the images come up and how beautiful the Bokeh  this lens produces. I can focus on something and makes sure that only that is in focus, this is one of the reasons I really wanted a DSLR camera.  Secondly I love the speed! Hot diggty dang, this lens is fast! 

I'm still getting used to frame my compositions with this lens since it's a prime lens so I have to move back and forth myself to frame the picture the way I like it. Basically I've chosen image quality over practicality but I just can't get over the quality of the pictures I can produce with this puppy!

Here are some examples of pictures I've taken thus far:
