1972 - 2026
Please join us as we come together to celebrate the life of our dear friend, Christian Aaron Mendoza. (Edec)

On Thursday, June 18, 2026, at 3:00 PM
we will gather at:
Graceland Funeral Home
13900 SW 117th Avenue Miami, Fl. 33186

Christian was more than a friend-he was a gifted artist, a creative soul, and someone who left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him. His passion, talent, and love for life touched so many, and his memory will continue to inspire us.

As we share stories, memories, laughter, and tears, we invite you to join us in honoring the beautiful life he lived and the legacy he leaves behind.

Though he is no longer with us, he will forever remain in our hearts. Rest easy, EDEC. Until we meet again.

Nikon 50mm vs 35mm

Nikon 50mm vs 35mm
Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D lens
Cheap but probably the best overall lens I own. Light weight, fast aperture and sharp.
Nikon AF Nikkor 35mm f/2D lens
Like the 50mm, but heavier. It’s more perfect sometimes, but sometimes it's way too wide.
