The 3.2 Shooter
For a long time the biggest reason holding me back from shooting in analog is the cost to maintain the hobby. All the miscellaneous expenditure adds up, starting from cost of the roll of film, followed by the developing, printing and scanning costs of the end product. Of course there are ways to curb the spending, […]
While surfing Facebook today, I chanced on one of the “On this Day” memories that reminded me of a dilemma I had some good 7 years ago: Should I buy a Minolta X300s or a Nikon FM2. I was tempted by acquaintances around me to dabble in film photography since time immortal (haha ok at least since […]
When is the last time you visited a photo finish shop? For me it was more than 4 years ago when I was completing my final project for my college’s social photography class. I have those pictures to remind my mum how great that cupcake from Sweet Tooth in Buffalo looked like, and other fun […]
This topic never grows old. Every digital photographer regardless of mastery has one point or another asked themselves this question, should I shoot in RAW or JPEG? Here’s my take on it…
Well technically my Mum’s 5 years to 60 but I think she looks great now than when she was much younger. Haha I’m sure she’s gonna credit this to her strict beauty regiment which I frankly can never match up to. I’m praying my rotund genes and generally round face will keep me looking youthful when I […]
You really can’t see much of the traffic in front. It was such a horrible downpour, but I’m not sure if it’s the worse so far for this year’s monsoon season. I guess in a way it’s similar to my experience this year. An adventure into the unknown, a thick misty fog… Somewhat frightening, yet […]
I was running errands with my Mum yesterday when we were caught in a really nasty monsoon rain. Visibility on the road was about 20%. Couple weeks ago a pedestrian bridge near the highway we were traveling on collapsed from the impact of rain. Thankfully there weren’t any casualties. Crazy stuff just keeps happening up […]
Choco, the beagle with long luscious eyelashes who’s often found in a corner in a pensive mood. No idea what’s on his mind though… Choco was an excitable, extroverted dog when he was younger. Not sure if his change to a more introverted temperament has to do with maturity…
I can’t ever get angry with my hamster. Then again, I don’t have much of a temper with animals. I do wish I had the same level of patience and concern with people as I do with animals. It’s tough being mad at a cute-looking critter though. My hamster was arranging “crop circles” of bedding […]
My dearest hamster who is formally known as Felix, and casually known as Animoo (Moo Moo at times). How we ended up with a variety of nicknames for this furry critter is lost on me. Then again I’m fond of nicknames myself and have countless aliases under my belt. This photo is taken with my […]
I can’t resist not posting this up. I had an awesome Friday with H last week… We had great food at a Vietnamese eating place at South Campus and spent our afternoon chilling out at Elmwood. I was in a jolly mood. I haven’t felt quite as happy in a while ever since something happened […]
My first attempt at making Kimchi Bokuembap. I think I need to add more kimchi in the next time. I prefer it more spicy and flavorful… The egg was fried by H. Both of us have problems making a perfectly circular sunny side up. Anyway I’ve been cooking exotic fried rice dishes. The previous attempt […]
H and I went to the best donut place in Buffalo. And guess what H ordered… A bagel!!! I naturally ordered a donut. Nonetheless, the Bagel looks really appetizing. Pity she opted for the butter spread. Cream cheese would be heavenly.
A team effort with my friend H. I was craving sweet and sour pork but cooked the chicken instead. It tasted pretty alright. But I must say I really don’t like deep-frying.
The posture Shiyi readies herself before pelting me with her self-sculpted snow “grenades”. How could I not have known of things to come!!
So it snowed in epic grandeur on Wednesday… I went out photographing the snow while Shiyi decides to get busy pelting snowballs at me. How fancy eh… But of course pelting snowballs at an easy target gets boring quickly so she decide to build a snowman. Oh well… It didn’t work out as it was […]
My current residence in US. It’s a quaint place… Everything in the house is themed blue. The furniture is blue, the kitchen flooring is blue. The main door is blue. Look… Even the fire hydrant is blue. Needless to say, the graduation gown is blue.
My crazy framing transcends everything I do, from photography to layout!! I didn’t submit this during lesson since I was only asked to submit one layout. Oh well… By the way, “Lorem Ipsum” has nothing to do with my name. It’s hilarious someone in class thought it was in reference to my name. Oh yeah… […]
Did this during the layout class on Friday. 2 hours wasn’t enough. But it did make me wonder what sort of stuffs will I learn during communication graphics… Sigh… Wished I’d had such knowledge before attending advertising class last year.
Today is a day of drama. Like which day isn’t? If I didn’t bother on coming back to school today just to get back my photography book, I would have missed my last history lecture just like that. Sigh… By the twist of fate I realized that the lecture was today and not Friday but […]
