I ordered a Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 XR DiII on Saturday night to replace the sole source of my photography frustration: The Canon EF-S 18-55 kit lens that comes with the Canon Rebel XT and XTi.

I spent a little time playing around with the new lens this evening during rush hour. :D

The Captain · 12-13-2007, 03:02 PM

Dude, I live in Leete hall... it's right next to your building. Which one are you in?

Brian, I'll be home the 20th.

djb5118 · 12-14-2007, 09:51 AM

i was telling kjj that east sucks. Im in holmes

kjj512 · 12-14-2007, 10:31 AM

Yeah east sucks but whats the only good thing about north ... the rooms. Big deal. Nice pictures by the way I have been meaning to get out and take some of campus. Its not to pretty right now but maybe after we get this snow tomorrow.

djb5118 · 12-14-2007, 10:37 AM

coed floors and our own private bathrooms...the bathroom makes it worth it by its self. dont have to wear sandals in the shower.

kjj512 · 12-14-2007, 10:45 AM

I would have to agree with you on the bathroom thing but the coed floors is negated by the shear amount of people living in east. Oh and we have better food Roxy's and Fresh FTW.

djb5118 · 12-14-2007, 01:52 PM

psshhhh you obviously havnt been to the blue spoon. it has all the **** you can get at east in one place

Zillon · 12-14-2007, 06:42 PM

Dunno, I think North commons blows. West is where it's at.

Don't forget the air-conditioning in the warmer months, DJ.

djb5118 · 12-14-2007, 07:12 PM

justinlansdale · 12-15-2007, 02:38 AM
