Infrared Photo test

DSIR0115

DSIR0117

Recently I got the Fuji FinePix IS-1, which is an Infrared (IR) sensitive camera. Thus far I have been enjoying photographing with this bad boy. The pupil are inverted, skin glows, hair is different. It is almost as if they are vampires. When it’s sunny outside the world is a completely different place.

Lets get together like Al Green

Last week some of us at NCSDO decided to crash Red Maples. We had no reservation on a Saturday night–in the heart of Baltimore–on a busy Holiday weekend. All we knew was to show up looking sexy and just enjoy our collective moment. The whole night was dyn-o-mite.

I love the fact that 33% of my waking hour is spend with working with awesome people who very talented, smart, witty, and knows when to down and dorky. It is purely kick-ass to call everyone at NCSDO my co-workers and friends. I love collaborating and getting tipsy with these peeps. :]

I only meant to bless you

Mathew Swanson and Kato

Here is how the story goes

* Beloved friends came by the office whom I haven’t seen in a while.
* Kato sneezes
* I said “Bless you”.
* Kato cries as if I stole his college education fund.
* I got scolded by Matthew “What are you telling my kids. Don’t say that”.
* I say “Gesundheit?”.
* Kato cries more

I fail at baby sneeze.

Fisheye Test (EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM)

Today I just got the Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM. Something I have been saving for few month. I was really excited when this lens came in today. The idea of using a fish eye lens without the rounded corners–since this had zoom ability–on my 7D. So far I am extremely pleased with the lens. I have to be extra careful with the maintenance of such lens since there is no filter to protect the 180 popping out eye ball lens.

Sunday afternoon in Autumn

Warm autumn day is like a good drink at happy hour, feels so good. To enjoy the day we went out for a little walk and had a nice sunday brunch at Marie Louis. Also today I walked around with my camera for the first time in a few weeks. I have not done it in a while–been to busy with work (full time and freelance). Everything felt so good this afternoon.

Me, Myself, and Irene

When hurricane Irene passed by Baltimore this past summer it was like partying with Axel Rose–pouring cats, dogs, and rats. To capture some of her gesture that I rig my camera with plastic bag wrapped with painter’s tape just to keep it dry. Though the 7D is weather resistant I didn’t want to take any chance with it. Other than that I had a blast.

Slowly catching up…

Moon rise in Baltimore

Air Line

With crazy freelance work, day time job, and life getting in the way of life for the past few months, I have not had the time to upload photos of my own. Before things gets crazier–with the holidays creeping up–I want to slowly upload handful at a time.

Moon rise in Baltimore was taken in Saratoga and Charles street. It does not look like Baltimore at all.

Broccoli Brain Cloud was a scene after Hurricane Irene. I was coming out of a hospital visit and this lone cloud was just floating at a distance.

Air Line, sunny day, walking around with my 70-200, looked up, plane woozing by, click. Nuff said.:)

I love my 70-200.

Afternoon with Rolled Paper

Very simple story. One afternoon Chungwon and I met up with my sister, her hubby, and my nephew Vincent for lunch. The day before we ran out of toilet paper (from now it will be referred as “Rolled Paper”) so we bought a whole pack of it. After lunch Vincent was so eager to carry the Rolled Paper by himself. I took it out of the bag and let him have it–thus started the journey. All the other adults were embarrassed by the idea, but it just seemed like a fun fresh idea to publicly carry a Rolled Paper around the city.

We walked around all over Harbor East and Federal Hill with Rolled Paper, taking pictures at various points. Of course people stared at us, some whispered of “is that toilet paper?”, some stared longer than others, but it was just too much fun. Later we all got into the action and thought nothing of it.

Kids find pure happiness:) in simple things. We adults tends to complex and twist the idea of happiness where it becomes too rigid an unobtainable. We need to learn from our kids that sometimes all we need is a simple afternoon with Rolled Paper.

Around Baltimore

I captured these moments around May this year during my lunch break around downtown Baltimore. I try to get out as much as I can with my camera, however lately it has been tough: work, freelance work, and being tired. Hopefully as work lighten up I will have more free time to chase after moments around the city.

As I was cleaning I noticed…

I have way too much photos on my laptop–5GB left. Disk space is very affordable these days. Perhaps I can just buy a HD and copy them over rather then the hassle of going through each file. However why keep unwanted files? As of this moment I have 14k+ files which occupies 54.4GB. Lets see how much I “really” need.

Fortuitously along the way I have been stumbling onto photos I forgot about. I actually enjoyed most of them. I will be posting some of the photos I find while cleaning.

My friend Sang Han at Inner Harbor. The halo was created by a car that was parked for a split second. Right after the shot the car moved away, thus the moment.
