Two reasons why I love the 35mm f/1.4:
- It's razor-sharp
- It can make distracting backgrounds disappear into creamy bokeh

It is pretty much my walk-around lens now on the 5D Mk II.

I think you have me confused with someone who is far less awesome.
My favorite shot from the weekend. I turned around to look back at my partner and noticed the late afternoon light was perfectly illuminating our entire route to the ridge below Black Peak (which we climbed).
ETA A couple more I like from that trip:

I unfortunately saw the light peeking in my blinds. I'm usually an 8AM waker but having nothing to do, crashing my bike yesterday and being mildly hungover I kinda can't sleep. So I hopped up to my roof to grab a quick snap. Wished it came out better but I don't have the patience or intestinal fortitude this early in the morning to compose a great picture...
Didn't mean to get the seagull in the shot. In hindsight I wished I upped the ISO and cranked my shutter speed to freeze the little fucker in the air. oh well, there's always tomorrow. Who am I kidding, I won't be awake at this time tomorrow!

It's a great sky. Sometimes nature does the work.

A couple from over the weekend
2nd image was at about 3am, which is why the sky is so dark. I love AK summers but always start missing normal dark nights this time of of the year.
We've won it. It's going to get better now. You can sort of tell these things.
I went to see some shows in Calgary last weekend. Here's a couple of pictures:

Another amazing Sierra sunset photo from my trip up to Lee Vining Canyon earlier in the month
I can’t believe how interesting the colors were and how lucky I got with timing of diner at the Mo Mart Gas Station and then sitting around for 20 minutes on one of the campground turnouts along the 120. Sat there waiting and wondering if the clouds were going to do something magical with the color or was I wasting my time. I’m glad I stuck it out, because it sure wasn’t a waste of time.
ohhh... I really like that one! very cool.
