I only brought my 50mm 1.8 with me to Europe because I thought a small lens could be nice on occasion (drastically smaller than my 16-35 and 100mm macro alternatives). I used it for the first time in a long time last week on a trip to the beach and I rediscovered the beauty that it held within. Using it to make intimate, monochromatic portraits of those with whom I spend my time with has been relaxing and eye opening.
