Film is Dead, Long Live Film | Feb 20, 2012

My mom gave me her old Minolta camera a while back, and I haven’t yet gotten it out to shoot anything (sorry mom), but the film canisters did make for a nice still life. I have been looking to mix things up and try something new, so even though I won’t be shooting film in [...] Read More

Bringing in the Catch | Feb 19, 2012

Had a great time today visiting Monterey. Though my original intention was to see the Aquarium, the 20 minute wait and the long lines made me decide against it. Instead I spent my time wandering around Cannery Row and reading about the history of the place. Didn’t realize all the culture and diversity the place [...] Read More

Cup of Joe | Feb 16, 2012

Couldn’t fall asleep right away tonight, so I decided to go back thru some older pictures and find something worth posting about. Somehow the combination of a warm cup of coffee on a cold late night seemed appealing. I’m a firm believer in the “Best Camera is The One That’s With You” mantra that Chase [...] Read More

Ride thru the Trees | Feb 15, 2012

I don’t know what it is about mountain biking and accidents for me; but the two go together like peas and carrots. I went riding two weeks ago with Paul again, hitting up a bunch of trails around UCSC and riding out to Wilder Ranch area. Somehow, I managed (again) to use my face to [...] Read More

If You’re Going to San Francisco | Jan 29, 2012

Finally, got a weekend to get up to the city to take some pictures of the sites (thanks Mom). There is so much to see and do in the city it’s overwhelming. This post is just a highlight of some of the great places and things that help make San Fran as awesome as it [...] Read More

Shanghai Nights | Jan 14, 2012

Been a long time since I’ve posted. My buddy Sam has been putting me to shame with his latest posts (pics are amazing, check them out here). On the rare free nights in China, I’ve been able to walk around town and snap quite a few pictures of the architecture and people. Though I still [...] Read More

Waking up in Vegas | Nov 07, 2011

So this post is long overdue (sorry Kyle). A bunch of my college buddies and I went to Las Vegas in June for a three day weekend. It was a typical Vegas trip with lots of money lost, and far too many mornings where you never wanted to touch another drop of alcohol. I did [...] Read More

Windy Roads Ahead | Nov 05, 2011

I was sorting thru pictures to upload to Shutterstock for stock purposes and came across this picture I shot last year near Mt. Vernon. Abbey, Andy and I had intended on going to see the buildings, but when we realized how expensive it was and that we couldn’t bring in their dog, we decided instead [...] Read More

East meets West | Nov 02, 2011

New York City and Shanghai, have two of the coolest Apple stores in the world. New York’s is the iconic one that most American’s know and have seen at least once. But Shanghai’s is equally if not cooler due to the fact that it uses curved glass, which in itself is an impressive architectural achievement. [...] Read More

I Left my Heart in San Francisco | Oct 17, 2011

When I took my trip into San Francisco a few weeks ago, I originally intended to visit all the Banksy works around the city. Unfortunately, most of them have either been painted over or removed. The only one I could still find, was the “Peaceful Heart Doctor” piece in Chinatown. To protect it, plexiglass was [...] Read More
