Thanks, E Wong.

A long time ago, I started a series of “Request” photos as a (lacking) attempt to thank everybody who contributed to my D700 fund for my birthday.

Over the course of the last few days, I’ve resumed the series. This one was particularly difficult, but I’m pleased with the result. So here it is. Thanks, E. Wong.

The (beautifully) handwritten check. It’s all in the details… Continue reading…

Zoom Lenses Are For Lazy People: DC Edition

Just me, the D700, and a 50mm f/1.4D vs Washington DC and 318,391,304 tourists…

Lately, I’ve been trying to avoid bringing out the 24-70mm f/2.8G as much as possible. It’s big and heavy and intimidating… and honestly, I think I’m over zooms. There’s just a magical quality to photos taken with primes. Anyways, my advice to you: if you aren’t shooting with a prime yet, you need to start now.

I know New York. I need New York. I know I need unique New York.

- The Decemberists

My time is slowly ending here and despite all the things I hate about New York, I’m really going to miss it. So here’s the first in a series dedicated to the city I hate to love…

There’s a saltwater film on the jar of your ashes. I threw them to sea, but a gust blew them backwards and the sting in my eyes that you then inflicted was par for the course–just as when you were living.

The Good Left Undone

All because of you, I haven’t slept in so long. When I do, I dream of drowning in the ocean.

- Rise Against

This is how I feel at the end of every single semester.

This year, I’m thankful for cupcakes in cones.

I’m sure I’ll have more Thanksgiving photos up, but for now it’ll just be these…

This year, I’m thankful for OReyes–my TiVo-master, fellow-procrastinator, always-up-for-Korean-friend-chicken, always-forgets-to-put-away-her-personal-items, rat-hunting, Facebook-photo-tagging, made-me-awesome-cupcakes-in-a-cone-for-my-birthday roommate.

Thanks for the birthday Cupcakes in a Cone. A month late, but hey… it’s the thought, right?

So awesome.

Gotham.

It’s New York–concrete jungle where dreams are made of–there’s nothing you can’t do.
