Samples




These are some sample pictures of what I do at work.

1) Rotate and flip them to the right orientation
2) Crop away the slide borders
3) Color correct them (black and white images go into Grayscale mode)

That's it! Go ahead and try them if you want.

Disneyland w/ Natasha Fun!




8/25/08
A super-fun day with Natasha relaxing at the Disneyland Resort! We started off doing some MouseAdventure quests at DCA but then we gave up and just had a good time. I think I took a lot of good pictures this time and had quite a few firsts! It was the first time that we went on Toy Story Midway Mania and saw the Indiana Jones show (we watched that to cool off).

Any pictures of me that don't look like they were taken by me were obviously taken by Natasha.

Captions in the pictures as always.

Skillz For Life!




7/21/08-7/24/08
Skillz For Life day camp in Pasadena. I took these pictures for a family friend who helped coordinate the event. It was a good learning experience because it was sports photography, candid photography, and event photography all rolled into one.

They had speakers (the robotics club, a former gang member--not pictured, an animal reservation center), some basketball, and other activities. Mostly a lot of basketball.

Aquarium of the Pacific




8/12/08
I went to the Aquarium of the Pacific with my family. It was pretty fun. I had to delete a ton of pictures because I started taking pictures when there was already 800 on the card and forgot to format it, hee hee.

There were a lot of tour groups and stuff that day. We went on a behind-the-scenes tour where we got to go everywhere the workers go every day (so when I was taking pictures they were probably like "What are you taking pictures of?!?! We see this every day!) It was very cool and informative and we saw the divers who go there and I got to ask them a question (really stupidly :P).

Then we went to Outback Steakhouse. Our waiter was very good. When we went to go to the bathroom, he gave us directions to the bathroom. HOW DID HE KNOW WE WANTED TO FIND THE BATHROOM?! Just like Bubba Gump's (which was near Outback Steakhouse). Service was very good. He gave us refills when we didn't ask (he was like, "Whoa you're thirsty aren't you?" 'cause I finished my soda before we got our meals hahaha).

Good times. My parents have an annual pass there now. Maybe we will go another time (we didn't go to one of the exhibits).

(And I know that some of the pictures are over/underexposed but whatever :P) First time using a circular polarizer.

Any pictures of me are by mom unless otherwise noted.
