Where I write, to be exact.
Shabbat Shalom! Keeping it simple for now with these 'stolen shots' of some of the locals in San Diego. They could only be shot stolen, when I think about it. I'll miss my 18-200mm when I jump from DX to FX. Or I could just keep the D80 as a safety body. That first shot... Continue Reading →
What!? Huh!?Show this to anyone courtingThis Chinese Waiter spoke Filipino. FLUENTLY. Charming. You've probably seen a 'slice of life' somewhere before. You probably had a 'shot of life'. This is a 'dumpling of life.'During our 2008 trip to the States, we only had one free day to do stuff. Dad went out with his friends,... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I drove a young brother of mine around the city. I lent him my camera and told him it was his turn to take pictures. As I was going through his shots I saw that he was playing with the camera at some points, but there were some pictures which communicated that he was... Continue Reading →
Love and prayer are the same in this: it's not about what we get but what we give.As Christ loved us while we were still sinners, so we are to be as indiscriminate in loving and praying for all without any bias or pretense. If we are able to pray for our friends and family... Continue Reading →
While it may be worth it for some people to pay to be up close when a barrage of fireworks are fired into the sky, some of us with cameras may beg to differ - I should know. There was at least one evening that I was close to punching myself for being too close... Continue Reading →
"You can take the tiger out of the jungle, but you can't take the jungle out of the tiger!" - Hobbes Filipino franchises... American license plates. You see Chowking and Red Ribbon here, and Jolibee is just a few minutes away. I'm imagining that for many who don't exactly have a ticket to the Philippines... Continue Reading →
It rarely rains over at Chula Vista - well, at least based on my tally, it rained one in maybe 30 days on average, considering the months I spent there between 2008 - 2012. It's usually a welcome condition for me to go out and shoot the area - in this case, Heritage Park -... Continue Reading →
So yesterday or the day before I hear about the US Ambassador to Libya being killed. I read somewhere that these killings, this ballsy assault on the US Embassy was a response to a video made on YouTube that allegedly blasphemed Islam and the prophet Mohammed. A few minutes back I read an article that... Continue Reading →
This is the Eisenhower Tunnel, a highway literally punched through a mountain (or two) to make travel faster (albeit less scenic) and easier for larger vehicles. 30 posts so far. Things I've learned:Pictures need to be centered to avoid text awkwardly placed to the right of a photo. Throw in some color into the mix. Get a Nikon... Continue Reading →
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord! (Psalm 27:13-14 NKJV)Before life goes any further, I would like to... Continue Reading →
