Indian Wedding
March 28, 2009Chicago in Black and White
March 28, 2009On Wednesday I went downtown with my friends Brad and Ned from the DI. I got there about an hour earlier than they did and shot mostly street photography before they got in. After they arrived, we walked around and I shifted a little more into architecture mode. We ate at the Billy Goat Tavern (not worth the forced $8 meal), walked 3 miles to Calumet Photo, tried to get on the 6 o’clock news, and played with flash and long exposures at Millenium Park.
Here are some of the photos I took. A lot of the photos I took looked cool in color, but it was pretty overcast all afternoon so I decided to commit to B+W. I’ll put my favorite color version photos up later.
I decided to play around with soundslides for the first time for this slideshow. Since I didn’t really have any audio from the trip, I used some mash-ups from The Hood Internet vs. Chicago (props to YS for the rec). The music doesn’t really match the photos, but its fun.

Sandlot Baseball, Beer, and Cheese
March 25, 2009On Sunday I played some sandlot baseball with my buddies.
Afterwards we ate some cheese, drank some beer, and played videogames. You know, manly stuff (haha).
Backup Your Memories!
March 22, 2009This morning I was snooping around the house and found my father’s old superzoom point and shoot film camera:
Memories of my gradeschool field trips, visits from out-of-town relatives, family parties, and holidays at home started rushing back, and thanks to him it was all preserved on film. Then, I started snooping through old photo albums and found class pictures along with some of my homework from grade school. I didn’t know I was in the 3rd grade with one of my best friends, Dave Choi. I wish I had a working scanner because his class picture is hilarious.
