Graphic, thought provoking and

depressing. You could have also named it 'Stairway to Hell' :-)I would have guessed HP-5 Linc

No Thanks!

Despite the kind invitation....Very well done; the gritty tones and careful exposure create quite an atmosphere.

And when you look long into the abyss...

the abyss looks back into you. Well done, Nikhil. I've recently joined this site and shoot with a G2 and 45/2. What would you recommend as a next lens? The 28mm or the 90mm?

Welcome, Stephen

and congratulations on your new G2/45 combo. It's a fantastic camera, isn't it? Do share your photographs on this site. Both the 28mm and the 90mm are terrific lenses. Buy both! :) Seriously though, that is not a recommendation that somebody can make for you. Your lens needs are a function of your style of photography, what appeals to you and what equipment you feel is most immediately necessary. If you're a wide-angle kinda guy (as I am) consider the 21mm also. A little more expensive than the 28mm and you might have to get used to composing with the finder, but a terrific lens given all the evidence on this site. That lens is next on my list... I only had enough moolah for the 28mm when I bought it :)

a quote from my favourite philosopher is always appreciated!
