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.
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.

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.

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?
It’s New York–concrete jungle where dreams are made of–there’s nothing you can’t do.
For some reason, I forgot to post these… They’re really old now. Sorry.
And one more after the jump.
Once I spent my last dime, and counted the ratio of miles to time, I looked up to my disdain and my surprise. I had driven my car around the world, ended back in the town with the girl, so I wrote a book called Life in Prison: Volume 1.

Leaves are changing. When it starts, I forget about San Diego and perfect 72 degree weather all year long. About a week into it, I’m over it and cold. In a month, I’ll be cursing myself for leaving the house with just 5 layers.

My ten favorite South Africa moments in photos:
1. Khayelitsha. Being my third trip to Africa, I was hardly shocked at the poverty that can be found in particular areas; however, something you will absolutely never get used to is the astounding optimism of the people who live there.
