Dim sum.Seriously. People are eating at all hours of the day/night here. The above image is from dim sum yesterday. We met up with my mom's brother who lives in Kowloon and my aunt Dennies from San Francisco (she is here on business). This was around 2pm in a giant restaurant in Kowloon. The entire place was packed when we got there at 1.30pm. We stayed til around 3pm and there was a never

China was amazing. Spent 6 days traveling in Hunan Provence between the cities of Changsha, Fenghaung and Zhangjaijie. I took +700 plus photos. It's going to take a bit to edit them and post. I would like to host a few slide show parties to show the photos to my friends when I get back so I will not be posting the majority of the photos until after I do that.Somewhere between Changsha and

I'm going to China tomorrow for 6 days. I am not bringing my iPhone or laptop. The reason being last month the iPhone 4 was released in China and people have been going apeshit trying to buy it. So much so that many Chinese have resorted to importing from Hong Kong to skip the wait/pay less. So the gov have started to tax all "i" products going into China from Hong Kong (and from some reports,

Finally made it. The flight was not bad, at first. But after about 12 hours of sitting, I got restless. Was sitting for way too long. The weather here is low 80s. Totally extending my summer into November!I'm still jetlagged and couldn't really sleep last night. My parents and I got up and went to a congee shop for breakfast.

What people say about you makes up who you are. I recently looked at my old high school yearbook and looked at all the things people wrote in it. I can't even remember who more than half of these people are. I can't even read some of their signatures. I'll be posting a selection of them on this blog."Dear Adam,You were totally wrong about me.

For some reason I'm in the background on the right side of the photo.This photo sums up my feelings about high school at La Guardia so well.

I was invited to a 90s theme party tonight. Besides instantly thinking of JNCO jeans, which I've since threw out or gave away, I couldn't think of what the clothing style is. The girl throwing the party said, "plaid!" Oh yeah, the whole grunge look, which was just before my time.6th grade is when I became fashion conscious. All the rage by then ('96) was JNCO jeans and maybe Korn t-shirts. Well,

My first memory of the Beatles was in 7th grade social studies class. A classmate had recently discovered the band and became obsessed with them. I quickly dismissed seeking them out. You have to remember this was pre-Napster and we still had to actually buy music. Plus, I had gotten the impression that the Beatles was "my father's music" and I didn't have any interest.Fast forward to a few

I was in Greenpoint today. We decided to have brunch and went to Brooklyn Label. I had taken a photo of the space for The L and noticed they served Stumptown coffee. They are really picky about who they let serve their coffee so I was interested in trying it.The only way to test is to order a cappuccino, so I did. I have to tell you, that first sip hit me with a wave of emotions I haven't felt

This week's New York Times Magazine cover article is about how people around you affect you. First, I want to say, "well, duh!". Seriously, can you get more obvious than that? Yes, my peers have a huge effect on how I am. I think everyone can generally say the same.People generally gravitate towards others with similar interest or personalities. It's called "having things in common." The article

I know I haven't updated this blog at all in the past few months- since China in April really. But that's because I've been too busy having fun this summer. It's been the best one for a long time so far.

The Hold Steady at Music Hall of WilliamsburgA few weeks ago, The L Magazine put on Northside Art and Music Festival. I shot a few shows. It was my first real time shooting live music. I think live music and wedding photography are tied as the 2 hardest types of events to cover. One has erratic lighting conditions and the need to shoot at high ISO and the latter is often has really high contrast

Sandy and I went to a new (to us) restaurant for dinner over the weekend. It was a french bistro called Cafe Leot (or something) on West 13th and 6th Ave. It's not a spot we would usually hit up. The crowd there is old- over 30. Like, people with actual incomes and can afford ~$25 entrees. I only found it because I really wanted to have good Belgium frites and this place got pretty good reviews

All I see is sadness in the people's faces.I didn't get to see "real" Beijing, just tourist areas since I was on a guided tour the entire time and had no time to wander. Taking shots of places that a million people take photos of does not interest me, so I took photos of something that does- people.Top shot is uh, Chinese hot pot on the street.

I went to Philly last weekend. Totally forgot it was going to be Saint Patrick's Day "weekend." One of the worst "holidays," I must say. Bunch of frat boys running around drunk and dressed in green. It's like they get way more obnoxious and are everywhere all of a sudden. I remember 2 years ago, I ended up at Alligator Lounge on Saint Patrick's day for some reason - it was like any other night

Went to visit Alex and Nate this weekend in Philadelphia. More details Tuesday or Wednesday, when the fricken scanner I just ordered on newegg arrives. Then I'll be able to summarize the trip with some Polaroids I took of surprise guests that I met up with/ran into.For now, enjoy this portrait I took of Alex behind his house in his suburban home. Yes this is with the new camera, and it's awesome.

I sold my Hasselblad today to a girl on Craigslist. I couldn't justify keeping it right now since I have no studio space to properly set up and don't have a lens that is good for portraits. Perhaps I will buy one in the future. That or a Mamiya RB67.

As some of you (most?) know, last week I bought a new camera- the Canon 5d Mark II. I was browsing a photography forum two days ago and some guy had just bought it also but they didn't have the lens kit so he bought a different lens with it. Well he sort of jumped the gun because when you put down cash for a new camera, you tend to want a lens for it, any lens. So he picked up a 24-70mm F/2.8L

Early this morning when I was half asleep, I came up with an entire chorus (with melody in my head!) for a R&B and/or rap song. I got up and wrote down the lines in a daze and went back to sleep. When I woke up, all I was left with was 3 lines that I can't place. The melody in my head is gone, of course...This is what I wrote down-They knock the lifeNo need for drama, mamaShe's sweet but my heart

Last night I set up my strobes in my living room and took some photos.

I'm going to start marking some of the photos in my photo-a-day project to "friends only" on flickr. The majority of them have been pretty sub par and lazy on my part and I don't want them clogging up my feed. So only the good ones will be public from now on. This will put a bit more pressure on me to preform. This is retroactive.

To prevent the rotting of my brain, I went to the Whitney today to see the William Eggleston exhibit, which closes in a few days. I'm really glad I went to see it. I could never see myself taking any photographs like he does. He captures something really unique in things that are mundane and seemingly uninteresting. A lot of times, I would glance over such things and never think to photograph

"I put on my overcoat and walked into winter, my teeth chattered rhythms" -Death CabI haven't done a self-portrait in years - since my senior show. I find my house to be really terrible to photograph in because I'm here all the time. But also because in the past few years, it's become "my parent's house" to me. I had always had the idea to try and take a photo in my living room with the light

Today I was laid off... and then rehired to freelance for the magazine I hold so dearly. What does this mean? Less time at work and more time to photograph!That's what I'd like to say. In reality its too cold to photograph and I'll probably just stay home and play videogames and try not to spend money. Having this come after the holiday really sucks since, you know, I would have probably not

I feel like there weren't too many really, really good albums last year. Since I don't keep up on music and the albums I've listened to last year aren't really that diverse (white people with beards and guitars, lolz) I'll just list some of the stuff I enjoyed last year.Black Kids - Partie TraumaticThis has been a mixed bag in the press (The L's music editor hates it), but I like it.

Third time's the charm, always. The first time we tried to set this up, Jen was too hungover. The second time, I was too sick. This time it went smooth, except Jen was really tired from not being able to sleep the night before so she was a bit out of it. No problem a little white wine couldn't solve.I really need to invest in a second light to light those shadows. It's killing me.

I am SO upset right now. I saw a loft this morning in Williamsburg with Kevon that fits all my requirements and we can't take it because Kevon and Julie can't afford it and Julie probably wants a bigger private room.But it's literally THREE STEPS from the Bedford L stop (off Driggs St) and its a straight up artist loft. The loft is "Studio B". A cute Asian hipster girl that lives/works there came

The 2 shots I posted from the session with Kendall always seemed a bit off to me. It wasn't not sharp. Just feels weird when I looked at them at 100% resolution. I couldn't figure out what was causing this phenomenon.The night before this session, I decided to clean my lens. I don't use filters and the front lens element was a bit greasy from 2 years of use and no real cleaning. I think I might

One of two scheduled photo shoots this weekend got done. This is Kendall. I met her through my friend Laura. This was quite possibly the most exciting and enjoyable photo shoot I've done so far. Kendall knows how to pose like a champ. She's also participating in my 10 year photo project. Those photos won't be viewable to the public for another 2 years though. I need at least 3 of each person to

It's creeping up on mid-October and my ratio of posts per month have taken a sharp decline. With the warm sunlight of summer long gone and New York City's pseudo Autumn weather turning into cold, so does my photography output.It doesn't have to be like this.

Ray and YudahLast night was the "last Summerscreen ever" in McCarren Park Pool. I put that in quotes because the city plans on renovating the pool back into a real pool, with water. It will take like 3 years or something and cost millions. That is why I seriously doubt it will happen. Just like how every year Coney Island is threatened to be wiped from its current existance, but somehow manages

Oh. Facebook. It's so nice of you to track and display every move of the people who use your website.I just witness an entire profile change of someone I know from high school, that I don't even really speak to anymore, mind you go from perfectly fine to a self-abusing, facebook status attention whoring mess. Getting the updates the second I log in is also always fun. "XXX is no longer in a

I had no interest in Little Big Planet for the past 6 months. But after seeing this video it has won me over with it's charm. The machinima coming out of this game will be amazing in the right hands.

They have the same last name so they must be related.We had a photoshoot with real (expensive) clothes and models.

For the past 3 weeks I've been trying to schedule a shoot with Sus but the weather has always been terrible when we try to shoot or one of us is busy. It's getting really annoying. Today it was cloudy. Then the sun came out and I was going to go over to her place but when I left work it was cloudy again. Awful.Same thing with Britt from work, always raining. It seems like I've been trying to

I took Friday off to go to All Points West, a 3 day music and arts festival at Liberty State park. The entire thing was a huge money sink that I was pretty "meh" about. The ferry from lower Manhattan to the park (round trip) was $20 in advance, $25 leading up to the show, and a whooping $30 if you buy if before you get on the ferry. Ray and I paid $25. That's crimal. But not as crimal as the

After shooting the portraits of Dana and Edith yesterday, I think I'm in love with the sun again. It's weird how it comes full circle again. I didn't hate the sun before, it was just dumb to shoot during the middle of the day because it was too high contrast.But I remembered I used to pay more attention to my surroundings and use the sun to my advantage. Now I can do that again. These mid-to-late

Holy shit, I just realized its August 4th already. Damn. I can't believe it's already August. Why is this so surprising? I don't know. Oh well. Only 1.5 months till Rock Band 2! Maybe it's just the lack of awareness on Mondays.

Chicken over rice from the new Hallel Cart in Dumbo. This guy grills to order and uses chunks of chicken breast, not the (cheaper) dark meat like all the carts in Manhattan. Already ate it twice this week and didn't throw up.Sorry for the crappy photo, I took it really fast at work because I didn't want Cecilia to look at me funny for photographing my lunch.

Sorry, had to stretch the page for this one.The turn-out for this was INSANE. Our publisher says "8000 (Eight THOUSAND)" came through last night.
