My girlfriend's mother saw that on my facebook when she saw my girl's laptop screen; she thought I was smoking crack.

That was new year's day. 3 hours of sleep after a long night of drinking. friend of mine missed her early morning flight. woke up in my cousin's apartment and they don't have a single water filter in the place. i mean, NY water is pretty clean but still... =/ The only thing to drink was beer (that tropicana is empty). Good times.

Third one is indeed

Updated. More to come when I'm not too lazy to sort through the picture folder from this weekend.

=)

Stop trying to rape your dog.
No means no man.

I fucking love 9.

What are you taking your pictures with?

Thanks =D

The latest additions were all taken with: Canon EOS 50D with a Circular Polarizer filter.

Some were taken with some point-and-shoot digital cameras, Sony dslr, camera phone, 1 was taken with a Lomography Fisheye 2 camera.

Update! also what's up?

#15 update

Since buying a water housing for my Canon is a bit too....expensive as Farking hell (not to mention I'm still struggling to find a decently-priced Rokinon Fisheye in NY - around $150), I'm considering playing with this baby:



Already gave my girlfriend a Fisheye 1&2 but I'm probably gonna end up buying 1 for myself.

(Also some advanced swimming lessons so I don't end up drowning after taking blurry shots)

Update. =p

congratz!

Awww, young love. I've been there.....hopefully your stay will be better better than what mine was.

Congratulations.

Erm...

That's actually my cousin and his wife. I was playing wedding photographer. I have a bunch of other photos from their wedding but that one's my favorite.

Someday, but not anytime soon. Girlfriend and I aren't rushing to get married yet. Thanks though.

False Advertising!

I demand my 'awww' back.

I'll just keep it in my storage box for now. I'll use it when I really do get married lol.

#6 is so nice.

Thank You =D

Since NY's starting to get all gloomy again, I might visit the same location seen on picture #3 this Friday (if the weather cooperates). This time, gonna come there with a wide angle lens and a tripod. =)

Overrated but who gives a rat's ass.

I like the girls you post.

Lucky SOB.

I'll take that as a compliment.

It's mostly my girlfriend since I doubt she'd entertain the idea of me asking a friend or another girl to model for me. I could but I don't and I won't. Unless I actually became a professional photographer of some sort. For now, it's just a hobby.

But I'll go browse through the gazillion fucking pictures in my folder. There's a number of good shots of other people but never had the time to play around with them. I'll try if I find some extra time.

I like #9, nice capture of the sky

Thanks. =p

Goddamnit I wish I had more free time. Really wanna start playing around with costume, make up, and picking/creating the proper setting.

I'm experimenting to get better colors. Something along the lines of:

Is it just me or does the lack of blur on the background make it more appealing? Something about the picture captivates me - makes me think that if I could somehow touch the picture, it's gonna be like chalk and oil. Maybe some aspects of HDR photography came into play? I really can't imagine that it's something as simple as Lens Correction, Hue/Saturation, and a Gradient Map. Or an I overestimating it?

Mild HDR. Low aperture. Peculiar setting.

That's what I was thinking. The clouds in the picture are pretty good indications the HDR (I think?) then comes the silky colors. Ahh....the curiosity is killing me.

So, you wanna be like a professional photographer? Maybe something with fashion? Apply for Vogue! Maybe you'll even meet Anna Wintour!

Until I'm financially secure or a good opportunity presents itself, it's going to remain as a hobby. I wouldn't mind hiring models or spending some money to improve my gear or go to different places but one at a time for now. Besides, I got a crapload of stuff to learn before I can actually call myself a photographer.
