Biding time at epoch

My apartment complex took this long winter break to do renovations on the apartment, unfortunately this means that I get a loud *BANG BANG BANG* that wakes me up every morning... sometimes even on the opposite wall of my bedroom. So... to escape the annoyance I went to Epoch, normally a place where I'd cram for finals, but this time just a place to chill, surf the web, and play some board games.

People at the cafe are really nice... some even bring their pets =).



After leaving the parking lot, the sun was setting and the clouds formed this beautiful swirly pattern... I instantly thought that it could be a good picture, but I hesitated and continued home, I regretted it and immediately drove back, in the matter of just 2-3 minutes the light drastically changed and it became almost too dark for this pic. Never hesitate, just take the picture.

See you later Julien

Best of luck to you, have fun in New York!

Winter Break

-Chilling with the cousins
Winter break has been quite boring... I haven't been taking many pictures or going out much. I have been hanging out with my cousins a lot more than I normally do though.

Here's William, Lauren, and Jessica.

The images above were taken with a 5D with either the EF 50mm f/1.4 or EF 100mm f/2.

-Can't forget the friends...

The previous 2 images were taken with a GF1, I've been really impressed with panasonic quality lately. I've also stumbled upon some very stunning images by Jim Radcliffe, who used the GF1 almost exclusively for more than a year. Check out his website Boxed Light.

Yay for getting away with underaged drinking next to a rooftop playground. Parents were too busy downing their own beer and wine to notice anyways. My 21st is coming up in less than a month!

-The food

Mexican food. *drool* I don't really like Mexican fusion... there's really no need to mess with the classics. If the image looks foreign to you, I suggest that you visit a local taqueria or taco cart.
