Ahhh…the Doo Dah Parade.  A bunch of crazy people walking the streets of Pasadena!  Interesting people, interesting costumes, interesing day.  See for yourself:

3 essentials that I keep in mind when I go out and do some photowalking.  This time, headed over to LACMA as they are having a Vanity Fair Photo Exhibit (being displayed until March).   Exhibit consisted of portraits from their magazine from 1913 to 2008…very interesting collection.  Do check it out if you have a chance.

Went and shot around outside afterwards…and of course, interesting architecture around the museum:

Did some photowalking yesterday in Old Town Pasadena and got a couple of shots off.  The telephoto lens I was using wasn’t all so great…think I need to get a better one.  It wasn’t all that dark yesterday and the biggest f-stop I could get was 4.5…even with that I had to go below 1/60th for these shots…hence the blur.  I’ll live with it for now…my next purchase is going to be a wide-angle lens.

Happy New Year to everyone.  Hope this year will be THE year!  I’ve got big hopes, big goals, and big dreams…one of which is to update my blog on a regular basis.  So, here’s my first post of the year…and a picture to go along with it.

This is the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.  Didn’t get to go in as they were doing some retrofitting…but the view from the outside was nice.  This was taken with my iPhone…not bad huh?

Congratulations guys!!!…it was a beautiful wedding and was honored to be there!  You two are the most geniune, awesome, and best human beings that I know.   Everyone should be so lucky as I to meet someone like you two in their lifetime.   Thanks man!

It was also awesome seeing all my fellow aesop’ers again!   … partying like we do.  Can’t believe it came and went already.  *sigh*  In the words of Greg Lontok, “Good times!”

Peace and much love !!!!
