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.

All moments were captured with pimpin’ EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM.

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.

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.

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.

Park Street on Baltimore. I love how lights stretches when it gets wet outside.

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.
