I am actually gonna walk out of the house with just one camera (EOS 5D), and just one lens, and more interesting, that lens has just one focal length - 28mm. Then I'm gonna take some photos. ;)

... I never do that... I always feel the need to carry a backup lens or something. But for some reason, I don't today. Hmm.. I wonder what I'll come back with.

I did that with an A-1 and a 28mm once. It was a religious experience.

Go shoot an event if you can. And post the pictures.

UGH! I'm having a religious experience already. I'm going, oh gawd, what did I do, my head hurts, and I hurt all over.... I think I either ate something wrong, or I'm coming down with something. Colleague told me there is a vicious bug going around. I THOUGHT I had my shots (immunizations) - ok, maybe that's why I can still sit straight even though I feel bad. It could be worse, I could be flat out.

My 28mm will have to wait :(

Doesn't it really suck to be feeling under the weather when there's a prospect of a bright sunny day ahead that promises beautiful photos?

Did you take just 1 128MB CF card too?
This reminds me of a trip I took to the zoo years ago when I was a full-time pro. I'd been going out on assignment & shooting a minimum of 60 rolls per day & bracketing like crazy to be sure that I came back with good exposures & I wondered if I had lost the ability to shoot selectively. (Bracketing also gives you extra shots for the portfolio, & allows you to split up the processing runs so that if you lose a roll in the lab, you have only lost one situation) ;)
So I went to the zoo with a 50mm, a 1,000mm, & one 20 exposure roll of B&W film. (Color can save your a**, but B&W is more demanding).
I came back with 4 shots that I liked enough to blow up to 16" X 20".

I hope you get some great shots, too!
