Wandering in downtown SF

Last Saturday I tried to head over to the SF auto show at the Moscone center in downtown SF. When I got there it was already too late and they had started to close up. After that i decided to kill some time before going to Impala so i was aimlessly wandering around the Metreon and Yerba Buena Gardens. I just like the bright neon lights that surround the Metreon and I had heard that there was a waterfall in the Yerba Buena gardens. Sooo, concidering I've never been there I hunted down the waterfall to get a picture of it. As it turns out its a pretty nice area, at night it is atleast. Well, enjoy folks.....

The Infamous Rubik's Cube

There is a time in every child's life when they are challenged by the infamous Rubik's cube!!! I had one in High School but it broke or got lost or something. I was at target shopping for the toy drive and found a big shelf full of the cubes......needless to say I bought one!!!! =D

Through the Eyes of a Pro

I watched a new video this past week called "Through the Eyes of a Pro: Advanced Techniques for Canon DSLR Photographers, Volume 2". This video was AWSOME, and really made me look into backlighting and window lighting. I used a lot of the techniques that Tim Mantoani recommends. Mantoani is the professional photographer narating the documentary offering knowlege on tripods, lense selection, lighting techniques and the most important of tips, "SEEING". You will have to watch the video to know what it is, if you dont already. I took some info from this video and made use of the indirect backlighting in the cafe at skyline..... ENJOY!!!

This is my friend Emily, she goes to skyline and Polly told me to take this picture.....=/ i ended up liking this picture enough to edit it and share it with people.

San Jo Excursion 11.14.08

Last Friday, I went down to San Jose to go to the snowboard expo at the San Jose Convention center. Originally my plans were to meet up with my friend Irvine, but the ass was randomly gettin lucky with some chick so he bailed. HELLA WACK. So we made the best of it and went to La Vic's and SJSU campus where I randomly found things that interested me. Jocelyn.....next time I'm comin down you and ashley are first on the list....Irvin's gettin booted to the back of da bus!!! lmao.

San Bruno City Hall

I was on my way to help a friend of mine who needed some car help but he took forever to get to his house. I found myself outside of the San Bruno City Hall and had never noticed how nice the area actually is. I was stuck there for about an hour with nothing but my camera, thank god i had it otherwise i would have been bored out of my mind!!! At any rate tomorrow is the snowboard show which hopefully i will have some pix of some new gear soon!!!! :D

Honda Worker

Todays picture is from a few months ago. A coworker of mine brought his nikon d100 or d200 in along with a 300mm macro lens, or something very close to that. It was a pretty cool set up. The macro function was kinna sweet but it just happens that i caught this guy, we call hime "stupid" or "ohhh Ohhh", during an oil change admiring his rubber glove. LOL i dont know why. Anyway we call him those names because of the stupid ass sounds and remarks he makes. LOL enjoy.......

Blue Angels come for Fleet Week

I finally got caught up on all the club events and remembered that my friend Tiff and I went to watch the blue angels fly on the Sunday of Fleet week. I've gone for the last 2 or 3 years consistently, so there was no reason to break the tradition this year. It was pretty chill not that much traffic heading in or out of Golden Gate park, which was thoroughly amazing. Seeing these suckers fly is SOOOO sick!!! It never gets old, although i wish my friend had more fun. She looked pretty bored the whole time, I guess it wasn't really her forte.

Super Monkey

I was extremely bored a few nights ago, before i got swamped with a buttload of journalism homework. I also felt that my 50mm lense was feeling neglected, it tends to sit all by its lonesome in my camera bag. Well here he is about 6 months later, Claudia bought him for me for my birthday and he has been sitting in my excalibur souvenire cup for most of thoes 6months. One of these days i will catch him in flight but theres no one to make him fly....hahaha SUPER MONKEY!!!!!!

Jaeda Lynn's Birthday

So, my story from yesterday continues. I was trying to make it to little Jaeda's birthday after the ski and wine festival but as my luck has it, I was too late. They had been cleaning up for some time by the time that i arrived. Needless to say i wasn't able to document any of the party for Jaeda's mom. I did however I manage to capture Jaeda along with each her mother, father and grandfather. I wish i could have made it to the party a little earlier but the traffic was very heavy in and out of Fort Mason. I had also thought that the event was going to run a bit later than it did. I wish i were superman and i could fly.....that would be awesome....lol.

Ski and Wine Festival

So, its been QUITE a while since I've posted any kind of blog. I feel as if I've neglected this for too long and seeing as how Mike D. has updated his consistently it has given me inspiration to share a piece of my outings with everyone again. Today's story is from the wine and ski festival at Fort Mason. Claudia and I, who both love snowboarding, had signed up on facebook to have free admission to the festival. When we got there there was not much to look at but i did manage to come out on top with a couple of interesting shots....
