Taoist Temple Guy

Here’s a guy I met at the Taoist Temple (白云观). I asked him if I can take a picture and he instantly started rolling up his sleeves getting ready for his portrait. Too bad I rushed and didn’t even have the lens hood all the way on the lens, so you see the dark edges.…

It’s been crazy non-stop here, as usual. They pack in so much in the schedule that I feel bad for the kids. Tonight was the first night we had some time off. We arrived on Sunday and it’s now Friday. Anyways, as we walked back on campus, we walked by this building where we heard…

There are a lot of changes going on in my life right now (wow, sounds like puberty all over again). One area that is ending is my work with the youth group/high schoolers after 9 or so years. Here’s a picture of Joshua and his purple tie at his graduation earlier this month. Here’s a…

Getting laid off kinda feels like this: My boss said I was spending too much time surfing the internet. When I reminded him that my work computer isn’t even networked, he said, “Oh, sorry, you’re the one who takes too many smoke breaks.” When I told him that I don’t even smoke, he said, “Just…

Ran into Emcee Hash and a video crew doing a shoot. Brad hijacked the shoot and got a few snaps. This image was shot with the Zeiss 35mm f/2 manual focus lens that he rented. The images from the lens look pretty sharp, but it was definitely hard for me to use the manual focus…

In addition to Tony’s list, I watched a documentary on portrait and fashion photographer Richard Avedon called Darkness and Light. Here’s a quote from the video that really resonated with how I’ve been approaching photography: What drives him is this deeper more profound genuine interest in the people that he’s seeking out, in the stories…

I haven’t posted up many any black and white photos, at least none that I can remember. I see a lot of street photographers using b/w–guess it gives images that “timeless” feel, as if the images could have been taken in any era. The image above was taken last week, March 21, 2010. Mini MINI…
