New Year’s Resolutions & Chubby Birds

Jan 1 2009

Chubby Birds

f/3.2 – 1/100 – ISO 200 – 100mm – Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

Good-bye to 2008… it’s been a rough year, and hello to 2009! I can’t wait for a fresh start and I can’t wait to see what 2009 brings. Resolutions-wise, I want to work “normal” hours… meaning average < 50 hours a week at work, rather than the 50-60 that I’ve been doing the past 2 years. With the extra “free-time” I want to shoot more photos, learn more about photography, and hone my craft and style. I also want to meet new people who challenge me creatively and can appreciate what goes into making a website look awesome & function well (shout-out to Clement, whom I definitely miss having around). I want to bring Habitat back into my life – I’ve been feeling empty without it. My last resolution: hit the gym more often and get back into shape (isn’t this on everyone’s list? :P).

Here’s to a new year and a fresh start! :D

I Hate Spiders

f/2.8 – 1/100 – ISO 400 – 100mm – Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

Taken on the Torrey Pines hike during sunset. There were a ton of these nasty looking spiders hanging out among the cactus. Really made you want to stick to the path and not stray off it.

f/5.6 – 1/400 – ISO 100 – 100mm – Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi – Cropped to remove distracting petal on the right

Took a walk through Balboa Park to relax and catch some air. It was busier than I’d seen in awhile. Also checked out the Museum of Photographic Arts, which had a really cool exhibit from Fredrick Roberts on India. Lots of good landscape photographs, including some abstract and surreal ones. Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison actually had a piece in the exhibit, too, which was cool, considering the first time I went into the MoPA I got to see their pieces featured. I love their work. The other main exhibit featured a Genetic Self-Portrait series by Gary Schneider. The flesh part of it was a little disturbing because the people looked like they were lying in a morgue. I wish the MoPA was larger here… then I could go more often to get inspired. :T
