I sorta messed up when switching from CF to SD card, and accidentally switched from RAW to Medium Quality JPEG. D’oh!

‘Cult’ of Personality

February 24, 2009

Here are some portraits I did for this story. The first photo is from the first day I met with her for like 10 minutes. I wanted to set it up somewhere that was weird and fit the angle of the story. What ended up happening was it being really cold/windy and my strobe kept falling over — so I got what I could, called it a day, and thanked her for standing in the cold for me. Luckily she was free the next day and we got some much better shots indoors with my strobe working its magic. Enjoy.

Family Dinner

February 24, 2009

The reason I came home this weekend was because my brother is turning 30 today and my parents wanted to have dinner as a family to celebrate the occasion.

Happy happy birthday cake. My dad played a birthday song CD which brought back memories.

My aunt and grandma pray the rosary in tagalog downstairs.

I try to go home once a month to visit the fam — usually I get pretty homesick when I look thru my photos, haha.

On the Move

Drove home with Sam, Jesse, and Pat last weekend. Took the Amtrak back to school yesterday.

I love photo so much, but these days it doesn’t seem like there’s much opportunity to find visually appealing stuff. It’s quite sad actually. I think I just need to be shooting a lot more.
