Frost

I've been busy with school so I have not been able to update in a while. Anyways I took these back in December when we had that brief cold spell. All were shot in the morning. I particularly like the flowers. Enjoy.

A set of Panoramas

I started to experiment with Panoramic photography in the fall semester of 2009. I would periodically work in this style from time to time while working on other assignments. I was exploring how the stitching methods along with the orientation of the camera and movement of the camera on an axis can distort an image. I have prepared some samples on what I worked on the past few months.

Happy New Year!

It's that wonderfull time...

I was asked by the Pastor of a church to take a series of photos of the altar and the Christmas tree that is set up. Here are the results. In order to pull off the lighting, I had the camera stopped to f/28 and set the expose time to about 30 seconds. On the Bay Jesus I used a shutter release to get a long exposure (about 2-3 minutes).

Signs of Our Times

This post updates the Signs of Our Times Gallery with additional work. Hope you enjoy.

Street Grafitti

Hey Folks,

I've been busy with schoolwork, but now I have free time to update this page again. Beginning tonight I will be posting of series of photos that represents the signs of our time. I'll be doing separate posts for each section, I'll be opening the set with a series of street graffiti found around San Jose. I hope you enjoy.

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.
