Hello blogger,

it's been a while.

We should get to know each other better.

Stronger '08
perhaps the most ambitious project yet by the SSEC Youth Group, it was a large-scale praise-night, but with only enough planning to constitute an weekend outing with the youth group...

considering the ridiculously short preparations, it turned out to be quite a success, with an unexpectedly large turnout from the community. Apparently the praise team has quite a social network...

this is first "flier" that came to be, courtesy of my weirdly creative sister.

This is the second flier that I came up with... with a silly pop-culture reference.

And here we go. ALL OF THE PHOTO CREDIT GOES TO GILBERT LAM.

Too many photos in one post.

I haven't posted in... oh goodness. 4 months?

So begins the post.

Over the summer I took VIS60: Intro to Digital Photography. I took some pictures, mostly not memorable, but we had fun with some lights and a hookah.

it also involved a big person and a stewie doll.

then I went to a retreat in Running Springs, but didn't really take any pictures of the actual retreat itself...

but I did take a group photo... :D

This weekend...

I borrowed a Zoom Nikkor 18-200mm 1:3.5-5.6G AF-S VR because I thought I was going to shoot some grad portraits for a friend of mine (after dropping my camera/lens, I'm weary that my trusty 18-70mm might give me issues, hence the borrowed lens). But I didn't...

So instead, here are some random shots.

this is the driveway of garages that my car pulls into after the 112-mile bomb up the 5 North and the 405 North from San Diego.

this is the weekend resting place of my green beast...

So...

Young Nak English College Ministry - Revere

2008-04-14T14:08:00.001-07:00

this was YNECM's first Revere night of many to come.
Every second friday!

The premise of the night stands as a praise & prayer night, a session of prayer sandwiched between two sessions of praise.

a Lock-In.

yeah. you....sleep. at church. well actually, there's VERY little sleeping involved, but that's the general concept. spending the night at church...

oh yeah. you know he's excited.

why was this game of jenga so intense....? because you had to eat....that....
coffee grounds, various sauces from chinese food, korean red-chili paste, tortilla chips, water, sprite....dunno what else...

New Year's Eve..

yes. it's late. I'm sorry...

This is a cute baby. :) She smiles a lot so she's even cuter.

this is a face of dismay...because he's losing a game...

involving sticks! throw the sticks, depending on how many are overturned, flat, etc... you move along a gameboard. kind of like snakes and ladders but with sticks instead of dice.

that's my dad's amazing stacking throw...they somehow all come straight down and land on top of each other.

victory? dismay? unbelief?

this is definitely disbelief.

she's a handful

mmmm....they've gotten quicker with avoiding the camera.

1. Julie Kim's shot of Chris and Steph

2. Again, another shot from Julie's Chris/Steph shot last year

3. A shot from Gilbert's cam last week.

It's not cheating. seriously. :)

We all love to nail the exposure right on...but sometimes it slips by. And CS3 saves.
Where would we get our "look" without post processing?

super macro!!

I found a super macro tube in my dad's camera cabinet... and threw a 50mm on it, threw a quarter on the floor, and here's the best result I got.

I've never seen a quarter so close...

Time and time again I prove to myself that there is such a thing as way too much coffee. The last time I remember doing this was when I had a quadruple-shot venti drink at Starbuck's at around 10pm...and sat at my desk jittering and bouncy past 3:30AM wondering what I had done to do this to myself.

Last night in hopes of prolonging some alertness I had two very large cups of strong coffee...and I can feel my body still wired and jittery, and it's 9:08AM the morning after. Oh boy. Not going to be needing coffee for a while.

By the way. It's raining here in San Diego. Makes me feel good.

finals, papers and stuff.

Nothing ground breaking.. but it was a good show. It felt a bit rushed and haphazard compared to the two previous shows in 06.

the first post.

This is the first post of my blog. I wish to expand into something more than a hobby.
Hello world.
