Arboretum

2012-01-31T00:27:00.000-08:00

Got my new lens last week! decided to test it out with the lady. We had a photo date at the Fullerton Arboretum, and arrived just in time for a quick stroll.

ribbit.

This type of flowers remind of the singing flowers in the tiki room.

I feel like such a ninja taking pics in here.

get the BUZZ

Happy New Year! Hope you all had a great holiday season and made preparations for 2012.

A bunch of us went out to devil's punchbowl before wrapping up 2011. There were about 10 people. Some stayed overnight and some arrived for the day. Consequently, there were a lot of cameras and they are mostly film. Overall, it was a great opportunity to share a common interest in photography.

Please check the links below for more pictures from the trip:

Love, Time, Attention.

2011-09-13T16:28:00.001-07:00

Was shooting an assignment in Palos Verdes 2 weeks ago and got these guys to help me out.

chrome is a hard subject to shoot.

2011-09-08T22:49:00.000-07:00

I was driving home a few weeks ago. The weather was super nice. It was warm but the breeze was cool. I pulled over on the street to grab my camera. Took a few shots, and drove. I pulled over once more before the sun was totally down.

I am a multi-tasker.

The last shot.

that was..

a brief intermission.

cpr, pikachu, resuscitate.

went to San Jose in August for a wedding. Stopped by SF to say hi to a friend real quick.

and Today at lunch...

It's fun to be a cat. Owning one? not so much.

Back 2 School!

2011-07-14T20:45:00.000-07:00

It's good to be back from vacation. See all the people you see at school again, relaxed, and mellow before it picks up again. To be honest, it's just the calm before the storm. because when the storm comes, it will be shit town.

on a lighter note..

everyone always asks me why did i do over break? and im like well do you really want to listen to it? from day 1? so i just told them, "i chilled." Unless they got 10 or 15 minutes that they want to spare to listen to me.

but really, this is what i did (photographically):

the magician.

my dream car.

twoservings.com

the next few images are really significant. for those of you that don't know, i became a u.s. citizen. it felt like i was being herded to be an american. i would be the cow with the camera.

the american dream dont exist in reality.

celebration: Phillipe's.

1 spam musubi a day keeps the doctors away.

i love this picture. look at the guy so happy in the pool that his brother is being tossed in. i would say that is enjoying the little things in life.

if beer pong was the nba, pretty safe to say im at the turkoglu skill level. pic taken by reggiemillerfan

always end with a bang.

Oysters In My Mind!

2011-07-03T12:22:00.000-07:00

Last month a few friends and I went to Redondo Beach for some oysters action. mmm that's all I can think about nowadays. The weather was warming up and ocean breeze was the oceanic blessing.

Some friends' blog that also went:

Photo Mission: PCH Saturday

2011-06-21T16:20:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday 12fv.com, Jamie and I met up in Newport after lunch. We stopped by this weird ship yard along the newport channel and just took a bunch of pics.

Went to a secret hideout along the PCH called Sherman Gardens & Library. LOTS OF FLOWERZ!

City Afternoon

2011-06-09T15:50:00.000-07:00

The city is an interesting place. Especially at the end of the day, when everyone's done using it.

2011-05-11T21:19:00.000-07:00

went out to ivc at about 2 weeks ago with the photo crew. we shot a bunch of things at night. went smoothly, no trouble from the pos.

Leica Sprink Break!

2011-05-03T01:21:00.000-07:00

Got to borrow the M8 from school for the week! these are my favorite shots from it. Very nice camera, i wish it didnt cost so much. The way it focuses and how shallow the dof are.

It is always appropriate to begin with this pic

Raccoon Boy

Karen Song - Vingt

2011-04-27T23:05:00.000-07:00

Last month I did a photo-shoot for Karen Song around DT Santa Ana and DT LA. It was an intense preparation but was definitely glad everything went smoothly. Used to see her on Kaba Kids and stuff and now she's all grown and she's a big time dancer/model/actress. She was in Katy Perry's music video, skecher's commercial and etc. You can see more of her at www.karen-song.com

here's a snippet of the pics:

why dont you check out her site for more of her and more of my photos @ www.karen-song.com

Bonus

2011-04-26T12:33:00.000-07:00

you know... since i havent uploaded in awhile, i feel like i should do a bonus:

I just recently moved houses to another side of town. Outside in the courtyard area there are these nice plants that are well illuminated by a nearby light source.

Great Park + Irvine Lake

2011-04-26T12:28:00.000-07:00

Ahhh so glad that a lot of my friends like to take pictures too, makes it fun and more memorable. We missed a few peeps tho.

Irvine is a beautiful city. I've always wanted to take pics at the lake, but never got around to it til' this time.

Sky cottons

2011-03-03T12:17:00.000-08:00

Cottons of the sky, shape-shift in your imagination. Sometimes they come in clusters, other times they are united. They provide us from the sun and quench the thirst of Mother's soil. Protect us, cover us, amaze us.

This one looks like a snake.

Protect our city

The Otherside

Mother Nature will always find a way to 'whoop yo ass' when you misbehave.
