Boy, Macro photography sure is fun.
I borrowed my mom’s man’s 60mm F2.8 EFS lens this week and I’m walking around taking close up shots of everything.
Look a flower!
Look a candle!
Look a used condom!
I tell you, everything is fascinating through the eyes of this lens.
Seeing that you liked "Everything is Illuminated" on thinsite, I thought I'd mention that you'd probably really love the story This American Life episode 307: In the Shadow of the City, specifically the story about young Alex Zharov who is a real-life Alex from the movie.

I like what you did here. But is that a dust spot on your sensor in the middle on the sides?
