Art Project

I got another reason to play around with my camera when I got assigned a rather unique assignment for an art history class about a couple of weeks ago. I used the assignment experiment with both photo cubism and synthetic cubism.

What I did was I took a glass bottle of Mexican coke, smashed the bottle with a hammer, and re assembled the key elements piece by piece by taking a photo of each one. I took the collected photos and re assembled the bottle on a two dimensional plane.

I dub it " Glass bottle of Mexican Coke"

The San Francisco Trip

I recently took my very first trip to San Francisco. Got there with friends at about 11am - 12pm and made our merry way throughout parts of the city. We started off at Fisherman's Wharf, amazed by all the camera stores so close to each other. We then grabbed some lunch, then made our march through Chinatown to the more Metropolitan area of the City.

The journey through the city was a new experience for, since I never seen so many people in such Small space, simply amazing. China town yield some great shots along what I believe was the downtown area (Post St. is downtown right?). The 20 block walk ended when we got to Rasputin Music. We went in and spent some time inside. After making my purchase, we left and walked back to the wharf, taking even more photos.

The lasts shots I took were of this very photogenic seagull. It didn't seem scared of me even though I was about a foot away from it. After those shots, we headed back to the car, and left San Francisco. I am hoping to return soon!

Enjoy the shots.

Trip to Alum Rock Park

I got hit with a last minute Biology assignment, so some very good friends and I took a trip to Alum Rock park on the east side of San Jose. The assignment was to measure the level of stress prior, during, and after a set amount of time being out in nature. I got some pretty good shots, and Ben was having fun with his Mylo. Also I took this as an opportunity to test out taking panoramic shots, which should be uploaded soon.

Update: My first two panoramic pictures are now online.

First set of photos now up

After a couple of days trying to get every thing synced and working, Picasa has now replaced Flickr as my photostream, and with that I show off the first of my photos that I took at Seacliff beach. It was a fun day, spent with friends goofing off while cleaning the beach. Got some great shots in too! Check my Photostream for more shots.

First post

Hey there,

This is my first post on this portfolio/blog of mine. I'll be using this as a place to post my latest shots, updates where I'm going, what I'm doing, what I plan to do, and list off contact info and a FAQ. Updates are planned for weekly after I get things in order. I am mananging and setting up a picasa and twitter account to go along with this blog.

Enjoy the updates.

UPDATE

Picasa was giving me issues, so I went with Flickr for the time being, so you can view most of my shots from my day at Seacliff beach (more on that to come)!
