Don’t forget me: the story of my kit lens

I admit, I often forget about my old “kit” lens, the 18-55mm that came with my Rebel XT way back. Actually, I don’t know if it’s so much forgetting about it as it is looking at it like it’s that cheap thing that came with my old camera. But the fact is, it’s actually a pretty decent lens. Not only that, but it does things that none of my other lenses do. It gives me the ability to do certain things that I can’t do with anything else. That alone means I should never neglect it or forget to use it. It’s an important part of my arsenal. To illustrate my point, here are some shots I just took with it that I could take ONLY with it (click to make them bigger, you can figure it out). Enjoy!
