peace.

my camera is finally fixed by Sherry Krauter with the Golden Touch (copyright?)
however, all of these shots are from before that...anyway, here take a look.


Art. this shot is actually to make my next post have some continuity...to come soon? or maybe a few weeks.




run, run, run!




sometimes, i just want to drive and never stop...go somewhere, anywhere.

This post is brought to you by Fine Art and Old English.
Apparently since I'm an addie, I don't understand fine art photographs.

I beg to differ in my first picture, there is so much fine art in it, it almost takes the attention from my two main subjects!

shit, you can't be this literal as a fine art photographer!





some fine art product shots.




I hear direct flash makes you fine art.




shooting a fine art photographer makes me fine art? if not, the line in the photograph definitely does.




OE, please contact me if you would like a new ad campaign. Fine Art Styleee!




Oh yeah, shot with a Leica with a little peanut flash.
Peace.

Can't believe i'm back to make a second post...! Well, this is really a teaser, as I have around 14 rolls of b&w sitting around my room that I have not developed yet...I decided to put a roll of expired superia 800 into the camera and go to nyc for the weekend. If these photos were not color, this post would not happen as it would be sitting next to all the other rolls!

I went down to new york/new jersey for the weekend to go to photo shelter and to see my family for my 21st birthday(today the 20th).

Leica is doing well, but the front lens element is loose. Therefore all of my shallow shots are almost always oof. I'm going to keep shooting this busted camera until Sherry (a leica tech) comes up to Rochester in October to fix it.

Planes are awesome.




"This is what you do before you die".
I sat in the emergency exit aisle, and the attendant asked if I would be able to take off the window and throw it out of the plane if anything happened..." uhhh, yeah!

Sky Mall...Listen to Jonathan Coulton's song called SkyMall.
...No, I did not shop at Sky Mall, tempting though.

my school/university.




NYC...Yellow Cabs and people.




Definitely in NYC.

Don't know what happened, but I like how my sister jumped in front of my camera and put up the peace sign...so asian...haha.

This is Tony, Elaine's husband, wow, I have a brother in law now.




The man wouldn't stop laughing.




it smells soo good...




outside of Newark airport before the flight.




Back in Rochester, Madison was modeling for Jonghyup at the house. I decided to finish off the roll...



bye.

I recently acquired a Leica M6 and I have been shooting with it for the past week. Here are some photos from the first two rolls that I processed, tri-x 400 @ 3200, xtol 1:1 24-25 mins. I need to use the camera more, so i can get my focusing down and also learn to use the meter properly.

her stuntin' shades, yeah, she looks bitchin'




she got me a present...! jonghyup, underexposed me
