My buddy Timmy.

Here's some photos of my good friend Timmy Long. He's the only guy I surf with that loves it (as well as gets in the water) as much as I do. He's also a photographer... sometimes we get out and explore with our cameras in hand. Here's a few select photographs taken while wandering around places we weren't allowed entrance to.

random hike.

With my first term of grad school behind me and winter break beginning, I find myself with plenty of time on my hands. One thing that I hadn't done in a while because of school is ride my bike. So today, when I woke up, I decided to go on a little bike ride with my camera(s). I took one of my film cameras out as well as my little point and shoot. My original intent was to just ride around my neighborhood and find things to photograph along the way... I ended up riding up a hefty hill and stumbled upon a hiking trail. So, the bike was locked up to a fence and I was off on a little hike. Where the trail took me was completely unexpected. I had amazing views of Los Angeles all the way down to Orange County, as well as Catalina Island. The recent rain storms definitely helped clean up the air quality which aided the view. Below are some of the pictures that I took with my small digital camera. I'm definitely going back up there... It's nice to stumble upon things like that.

oh yeah... for my motion design class, my best friend dave and i shot video stuff on green screen. i'll post up the video once i clean it up a bit. but here's the set up and a portrait i took while filming. i found out that shooting, directing, and editing is verrrrrrrry time consuming and tiring. but it was a great learning experience... looking forward to doing more in the future.


the set up.

I think it's time to switch up my cameras. I've been using my Contax G1 consistently for about a year now... I'm thinkin' either the Lomo LCA. Orrrr.. The Nikon FE2. Leaning towards the FE2. I got my mom a fairly clean FE2 for Christmas last year... My FE2 is kinda... broken. Going to see if she wants to trade it for my D100. Nikon FE2 with a 24mm (i need some cheap 35mm & 50mm manual nikkor lenses) lens and a bag of Tmax 400. Life is good.

Election Day. 2008.

Oh what a day it was! I ended up going around to take some photographs at my local polling locations. I visited two different places. The first one, I arrived about 20 minutes before the polls opened. The second place I visited was shortly after noon.

Anyways, here's a few photos that I liked from this election day. Probably the most significant election within my lifetime so far...
