(11-25-09) Behind the Emerald Curtin/Farmers Market

It's not a secret; I like musicals. You can make fun of me all you like, but who gets dates to watch musicals with... THIS GUY OVER HERE! A few weeks ago, I had the chance to watch Wicked with a couple of friends. We went early to try to win the lottery. My friend Jane won twice, and I won once. We didn't stick around to see if my friend Marian's name was picked since we received all the tickets that we needed. Oh, I forgot to mention what we won. Instead of paying $80 for orchestra seats, we got them for $25 a piece. Since we enjoyed the show so much, we wanted to attend Behind the Emerald Curtin where we get to see what happens behind the stage.

I brought my camera to take pictures, but we weren't allowed to in some places. When we stepped outside, there was a Farmers Market going on. I figured this was a better photography opportunity, so I shot away. These are the pictures that I captured that I really enjoyed.

The picture above is my favorite!

My family wanted to treat my dad to a football game for his birthday this year. When I bought these tickets, I thought it was a sure win for the Niners. Unfortunately we loss =(. Final score: 34-27. These are my favorite pictures that I captured. I wish I could have been on the field to capture the shots I wanted. Oh well, maybe next time =).

Funeral (08-01-09)

It’s been over a month since I updated my blog. It’s been a busy summer for me. Even though I don’t work and took the summer off for school, I found myself doing projects left and right. My dad and I have been painting the house for the past 3 weeks. It’s taking us so long because my dad only has 2 hours to help me out before he goes to work, and frankly our rooms are too big to do for one person. It takes about 2 days to finish one room. The good thing is that we are almost done; one more room and the kitchen.

Last week my Auntie Rose asked me to do a favor and help her photograph a family friend’s funeral. Without hesitation, I agreed because it’s perfect for the type of photography I like to do; photojournalism (candid shots that capture true emotions). Here are a few pictures I captured. I really wanted to show the people’s faces, but for respect for the family, I chose not to post any/few faces on this blog entry.

(I felt the above picture is the most powerful shot I captured for the day)
