I think Harry was actually hiding behind Alex and Mom in this picture. According to his pediatrician Harry weighed the same the year before. Usually the fillflash washed out the face, so this time around I dialed down the exposure 0.7 stop and it worked out better.
The 18-70 is not a pro grade lens by any stretch but I find it surprisingly capable and versatile.

That said, I don't mind getting some real nice glasses like the Nikon 17-35 f2.8 or the Nikon 17-55 f2.8 DX. But you make good use of whatever you have (and continue to long for something you don't have).
