These might be some of my favorite photos of Alfie so far–and all thanks to a mystery florist that I think has since gone out of business.
An ex-coworker called to let me know about these gorgeous floral displays scattered through the NOTO Arts District, so I grabbed my new 50mm and headed that way with Alf. This lens is the cheapest in bag, and I only bought it because I couldn’t find anything else in stock. I think it delivers some pretty nice photos anyway, at least until I get my hands on the NIKKOR Z 50mm.
