For my non-San Francisco/Oakland friends, this is Frank Chu. I talked to him for the first time and took this picture of him right before the San Francisco Pillow Fight last month. I couldn’t make it this year, but I was there back in 2007. I like how he was wearing a rose for Valentine’s…

Edit: I know Dallas IS a big city, but maybe because they have so much space, they can spread out. Because when I was there, it didn’t FEEL like a big city with hardly any one crowded downtown. After traveling to Ithaca and Dallas last month, I realized I missed the energy of a big…

I was walking The Embarcadero, camera in hand, when this guy walked by, lifted up his tennis racket to hide his face and said, “No more, paparazzi. No more pictures.” I smiled and said, “That’s a good one” and couldn’t help but continue with “Can I take your picture?” He told me he’d been living…

I love this piece–not the image that I took, but the artwork that was pasted on this fence. No, I didn’t do any of that fancy selective coloring stuff to it. This image was left in full color. I love how the gloves (and mask) look almost 3D, but the image is entirely two dimensional.…

The great glory and strength of pluralism is that it compels the holder of any belief to measure its truthfulness against alternative interpretations. The great hazard of pluralism is the faulty deduction, in the name of tolerance, that all beliefs can be equally true. ~Deliver Us From Evil, Ravi Zacharias Taken during a photowalk with…

I miss seeing sunlight when I get off work. This photo was taken before Daylight Savings ended. It’s so dark and cold when I come out of my building. Boo. Shot out the driver side front window while I was driving. Is that legal? Sorry about that sticker on the lower left of the window.

Update: By the way, read about what China is saying about the torch relay here and here. The Olympic flame landed in SFO today around 3:40am. There have been so many protests already. Being Chinese American, I am proud of China’s rise in power and prominence, but at the same time, I am dismayed at…
