Learning Photography

One of my New Years Resolutions was to learn photography, so in order to do that I needed to buy a camera to learn on it.

After a month of extensive research....I finally bought my camera

Canon EOS REBEL T2i DSLR 

Yesterday I took a 3-hour class on photography in San Francisco at Citizen Space

I learned the basics of using my camera on Manuel and not on Automatic.

I definitely need more practice and some more teaching but here are some shots that I took yesterday

That's all folks!

If you'd like to be my model so that I can practice on you, you can contact me here

Balls

Since it's Super Bowl season I thought it would be appropriate to write a post about Football....

I was a cheerleader for about 8 years and I never really enjoyed watching football because I never really understood the game. It's way too confusing with the yards and the downs and the scores of 7 and 2...I mean I sort of get it now because I've asked a lot of questions about the game....

Anyways, when I was about 9 years old, I broke my left pinky finger. This was the only bone I've ever broken my entire life. And this is how I broke it...catching a football!!!

I remember this day very clearly...

We were right outside Peking Palace on the sidewalk throwing a football around...it was my brother, the Asia cafe girls, and this really hot waiter from Geezers...

This guy....I mean...I wanted to catch anything he was throwing my way....

what he ended up throwing was a god damn football that broke my pinky.

I was so afraid to tell my mom...so my brother wrapped my finger with a popsicle stick and tape until I was brave enough to show my mom what had happened.

I've always been a fan of baseball..(GO SF GIANTS!)  (Not NY Giants) (Which by the way I am going for just because I like their name)

My brother and I...and the Asia Cafe girls would play baseball on the large grassy field where the new court house now sits upon...

One time I was the pitcher and I threw the ball to my brother at bat and he swung and hit the ball so hard straight into my face!

I remember that we had a time out for awhile because my face was out of commission.

So I'm not a fan of balls....when I go to a baseball game I like to sit where no foul balls can fly towards me.

So...thats all I have to say about balls...

Thanks for reading.
