A night on the town with my fav guy and a new favorite camera!

I love my Canon 5 D Mark III for photo sessions – it is a great camera and I know it like the back of my hand.  But it is almost pretty heavy especially combined with one of L lenses.  And as result I rarely take it anywhere with me these days – I just get so tired from carrying that around.  So a few months ago my friend Jaye let me play with her FujiFilm xt2 – a tiny mirrorless camera – and after using it for about 30 min I was in love and had to have it.  And I have to say that I absolutely love it – it is small and portable and fits perfectly in my brand new Ona bag that I got especially for it:)  So when Victor and I took a train into the city for a night on the town my brand new camera and a camera bag came along with us.

We started off in Hoboken where we took in the views of the city before hopping on a Path train:

We meandered through West Village and reminisced about the time long ago when we used to hang out there all the time; we were pointing out restaurants we ate at, art stores where we bought framed prints, our favorite Italian bakery and a pizza place.

we caught a show at Comedy Cellar – my favorite comedy club in the city.  It brought me back to my NYU days when we used to go to Olive Tree Cafe for a cheap dinner and then would head downstairs (no cover!) to witness a great set:

we headed to Cuba – home of this guy making cuban cigars and the best Cuban food I’ve ever had:

I just love the energy of the city: it was past 11 PM and this coffee shop was hopping!

And then we got uber and headed back to the ‘burbs – making a promise to do this more often!  And I will definitely bring my Fuji with me next time – it is a great little camera that has wonderful low light capability, great color and is just awesome all around.  So if you are looking for a good out-and-about and travel camera- look no further.  It IS an investment (especially when start adding all cool lenses Fuji has to offer) but I think it is worth it!
