017/365: Tying Shirts Around my Head
Back in high school, probably in 10th grade, someone posted a tutorial explaining how to tie a shirt around your head to look like a ninja. Shortly after, I would frequently tie a shirt around my head to look like … Continue reading

013/365: 2004 Hillcrest Teams
I tried to put three pictures together to try and make the teams look like they’re standing next to each other. But then the backgrounds didn’t match so I tried to add the trees in. Then there was a bunch … Continue reading

Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme on Hulu. Would’ve been way more into this in 10th grade. Freestyling died when memorizing written verses and reciting them over beats at radio stations became freestyles. Couldn’t they just use a different term for … Continue reading

Stray Shots Ten
Medieval Times pictures are in this post. They look a few thousand times more serious than the show actually is. Even better is the idea that the location is so close to Hollywood that more than a few cast members are probably aspiring actors.
I shot the last picture earlier today. It’s my first picture with the 35mm lens I ordered a month ago. (AAFES 20% off coupon made the lens $30 cheaper but ordering from AAFES increased shipping by three weeks.) My quick verdict about the 35mm: feels like a 50mm, except it’s a 35mm. I knew that when I ordered it though. Still, I’m planning to keep the 35mm on for a while and hope that it’s a step forward in taking my camera around more.

Black and white holiday
Here are some stray pictures from December. The events include the Secret Santa gift exchange dinner with my friends, the Christmas Eve party with my family and our family friends, and Christmas Day with my family. I edited these a few weeks ago and can’t really remember why I wanted to do them in black and white. My guess is I liked how it looked.

Modern Warfare 2 Special Ops quick impressions

Hawaii 2009: Friday not Thursday

Hawaii Trip 2009
One of my favorite trips ever. Didn’t take enough pictures. I always know I’ll regret it when I don’t take my camera around, but I do it anyway. I hate worrying about my camera when I can’t be around it (like when I’m in the water). But I really should’ve brought my point and shoot around. Next time I guess.

NBA Live Fantasy Draft 2009
Fun times as usual. We’ve upgraded since last year. Bigger venue, better food, better speller. Plus we went with the fantastic idea to wear jerseys. Increases the fun sort of the way costumes do, except my costume would be a giant shirt that looks like a dress. As for my team, I didn’t have a completely boneheaded pick this year. (I ended up with Captain Jack’s bonkers ass, but it’s nowhere near a season-ruiner like picking an injured guy in the third round.)
P.S. Good job in the last picture guys, the only time we’ve looked harder is playing Where’s Waldo.
