Baby Got A New Lens.
Lately, my biggest splurge is camera equipment. I shoot a lot of interiors these days, so last week I rationalized that I really needed a 24mm wide angle lens! I did! It does make a world of difference in the depth of field I can capture, and I had some fun giving it a test drive on my place. Next week, stay tuned for a brand new Unexpected Guests tour of an amazing hilltop home in Mill Valley. You will swoon!

love it. i have a new wide angle too! and i'm loving mine as well.
thanks for sharing these!
I didn't think it was possible for your place to look any better...but you've managed to do it! Have fun with your new toy!
wow, lovely!
The pics came out great!! I am in desperate need of a new camera!
Oh awesome! Those shots look great! Wide angle lenses are the best.
Well if this ain't a biz expense, I don't know what is. You deserve it, lady! XO Kelly
Ive noticed those 2 paintings (in the dining room photo) in other photos of your apartment. Who is the artist?
Thank you!

thank you all so much!
hi kelly - drinks!! :)
colleen - those are both flea market finds and not by the same artist. rico is by charles carrol in 1954, and 'emma' is by emma lou brietag.
Love the photos! I would also like to get a wide angle lens. Guess I better talk to santa(wink).
This looks like a home with lots of soul! -Though I'm not sure that comes from the camera purchase!!
Im feeling very green eyed of that warm looking sunlight too! (from a cold and wet Aussie winters day!)
Wow Victoria! The wide angle lens made a big difference, and now we can see even more of your lovely home! I love how you have your print, artwork, and clock placed above your bar...it's such a nice use of space.
How lovely is your home! I love the way you're a bit ecclectic, with prints kind of all over ... not in the typical super-organized way. Maybe I'll head to our local flea market tomorrow in hopes of finding something wonderful as you have ...
What a lovely lovely home! So glad the new camera and photographer :) capture all the wonderful touches! You're the best Victoria.
A nice addition, the images are wonderful. Great investment.
thank you SO much for sharing your photo tips!
Wow where is that in the top photo? Cool architecture-and ace photography!
thank you all so much!
fox-in-sand - that is my neighborhood in san francisco.
beautiful photos Victoria! I adore your house!
I love those chairs by the bay window!! Are they vintage?! If not do you mind saying where you got them? Thanks!
thanks again to all the kind comments!
sarah, they are vintage - i found them on craigslist.com! :)
beautiful pictures! I'm so jealous of your camera :)
Wow San Francisco looks lovely!
You have a gorgeous home! I love it! OMG..
and I have a Nikon as well. What model do you have? I have a D40, and I'm adding this lens to my wishlist. Hopefully someone will buy it for me one day. :-)
inga - it's a nikon D80 - i love it!
love your blog and love those pics of your home! what a beautiful space.. is that an ikea swivel chair I spy by the desk? I have to buy a comfortable chair for my study space where I will be spending many hours... question how comfortable do you find that swivel chair.. considering buying something similar, but sense is telling me to buy a more ergonomic, less attractive office type chair. Advise appreciated! Sarah
yes, anon - it it the ikea swivel chair (i forget the name) and i do find it quite comfortable. i'm really bad at being ergonomic, though. i'm always curling up into it and getting cozy! so bad, but i'm comfortable, and i spend a lot of hours there!
Thanks for your answer! think the chair may be going back on the list of possibles! Sarah
