A very long time...

A couple weekends ago I played photographer for my best friend's grandparent's 50th anniversary party.

It was a lot of fun and I got to meet a lot of nice people who didn't mind having the camera in their face.

I learned a lot from this experience too. First of all, always ask the hosts to introduce you as the photographer, people are much less suspicious.
Also, never use a long range lens inside a building where the tables are very close together. So many pictures were ruined simply because I forgot to switch to my 18-55mm lens.

Here are a few pictures from the party that I particularly enjoy.
