Its kind of nice seeing my images online for DancePlug‘s x Beat Freak‘s Spark Your Career contest
Meet my chubby little nephews Ethan (1 year) and Aiden (2 months?). Their mommies came over during Mother’s Day and we had ourselves a little photo session. Must be nice to have a photographer in the family
Remember my dear pooch, Binky? Well one morning while I was getting some work done, I turn around and catch this lazy being lounging around on an office chair. How nice would it be nowadays to just lie around in awkward positions.
Today is the first day of my last quarter as a student at the University of California, Irvine. What a better way to start off the new quarter than with an email from Jill Waterman of PDN Online. Dear Melissa: I’m e-mailing to let you know that one of your images was selected as a [...]
I’m back in San Francisco! Before I embark on my final quarter at UCI, I drove us with Tiffany Chang and my coworker, Elis Im, early in the day. Without traffic, a 6-hour drive isn’ that bad. We got to Daly City in time to meet Trina for dinner at King of Thai Noodle. Yum [...]
I haven’t really posted any images of “pet photoography”, but this morning my mother specifically requested I take some snapshots of Binky (the family dog). She thought he looked so adorable relaxing, however I can say from the moment this dog was brought home he was nothing but a lazy dog! Just look at him [...]
Looking back about 11 weeks ago I paid a visit to Fall 2009 Senior Ex: Where’s My Pickles to see the artworks created by my peers. …and then it was my turn. In addition to the 20 units of courses I keep raving on, I’ve been spending a good amount of both mental and physical energy [...]
With 20 units this quarter … man its hard to keep up with blogging and shooting for fun. I’m currently juggling 3 time intensive projects (which are hush hush ). My solution to keep myself shooting and conditioning my eye nowadays is to just carry a point and shoot camera around and snap away at things [...]
Jan. 11 marked the first photo shoot of 2010 for UCI’s Photo Club. Wanting to get more students involved with photography my Creative Director/Vice President , Fred Cheung, and I decided to start off the new year with photo shoot in an awesome location. Did you know squeaky clean UCI has a network of underground [...]
If you haven’t noticed from my previous posts from San Francisco, I have seemed to have picked up street photography up as a hobby. ”Photo Walking” is a pretty awesome way to practice photography and experiment with different styles. This time I ventured into downtown LA with Andy, Andreana, and Tiffany Chang in search of a [...]
Last night, I had a couple crazy tweets. A hobo ran up to me with mandolin and screamed ‘im a psychic vampire’about 15 hours ago from txt Umm naked guy and girl just ran passed me oh berkeleyabout 15 hours ago from txt Now I can’t show you the nudists (mainly because the caught me off guard [...]
During the night I went frolicking through various areas of San Francisco via Bart. I must say I enjoy functionally working public transportation (darn you OCTA!). Its a very demographic space. and yes I did psuedo lomo my photos
Monday morning I boarded an 11am flight on Virgin America with Adib to head off to San Francisco to shoot food for Bookmark Cafe. For those of you instant messaging me that day… I was on a plane doing so! Apparently Virgin America has this deal worked out with Google, which provides free wifi inside [...]
There is rarely a rainy day in Southern California, I also rarely use square composition in my photography. Therefore what a better day to experiment with both. I went for a photo walk with my friend, Michelle Kim, the other day just because well I enjoy the rain. I feel it adds an extra element/edge [...]
I met up with Sylvia G. (I usually call her ‘Chigs’ and she’s a master of color!) the other night to check out the Fall ’09 Senior Exhibition: Where’s My Pickles in the University Art Gallery (UAG). I promise you this art show had nothing to do those nasty little green things wedged in burgers! [...]
For the entire ’09 Fall Quarter at UCI I’ve been working on a single series for my photography class with Shelby Roberts. I must say this has been one of the most rigorous projects I’ve taken on. “Waiting” has not only challenged my technical knowledge of lighting and of my camera, but also my ability [...]
Right before the Thanksgivings I ventured into the Humanities Instructional Building (HIB) with fellow art student, Kristy Li, only to discover that the lecture hall was haunted by the ghost of Josh Huang! Ahh! Legend is that Josh was bright student at UCI who met his untimely death due to and overdose of handheld video [...]
Had a little free time between turkey and ham today… and put together a shot of my cousin’s Audi A3! He’s been bugging me ever since I more into photography. Hopefully I’ll have more time during the winter holidays to shoot more angles.
Zotreport.com is the exclusive site for UCI providing news, information, sports, Greek life, rumors, and gossip. My friend, Clifton Su instant messaged me the other night saying the website featured me on their front page. and here it is! Looks like Zotreport decided to display my Shocktober pictures, pretty cool!
Its October again..time for massive family time! If I recall correctly … I have about four family birthdays this month. This month is going to be booked, but that’s okay. It just means I get more opportunities to experiment different styles of photography. We ended up having dinner at Tokyo Lobby. While waiting for food [...]
