You guys might’ve noticed that I’m doing a lot more post-processing these days. That’s because I’ve been checking out Chris Orwig’s excellent videos and Scott Kelby’s excellent book. I apologize to any as-shot purists out there, hope you’ll bear with me while I’m learning and applying my newly learned tricks :)

As a side note, Chris Orwig’s videos are truly inspirational, not only from a technical perspective, but because the guy is so obviously in love with life and is absolutely brimming with enthusiasm. His personality shines through in his photos as well. Scott Kelby is a much more cynical and off beat guy, but I thoroughly enjoy his sense of humor, which is rare to find in nerdy instructional guide books. These guys rock!

Edit Feb 18 2008 :

Not enough new stuff to warrant a new post, but two updates:

1) Wow! Chris Orwig himself visited my humble blog :) Check out the comments to this post!

2)  I removed all the old pre-Flickr posts, just wasn’t happy enough with them. Sorry if you really really really liked something back there. If you let me know, I will dig up the picture from the grave and post it on Flickr.

But I’ve recently gotten a lot more into flickr, and finally see what all the hype was about. Like I said in the previous post, I will mostly post my new images on to my flickr page, but will post my favorite updates back in this blog once in a while.  Thanks to Joe Tan for his plugin that integrates flickr and wordpress!

First off, Happy 2008!!!

Sorry for the extended absence, I’ve been traveling a lot and the crazy stock market has been keeping me occupied. But never fear, I have a ton of new photos that I will share as soon as I get around to organizing and working on them. However, 2007 has come and gone and I’ve taken a good hard look at my work during my first year of serious (albeit amateur) photography. I think I’ve grown a little as a photographer, but overall I’m not really satisfied at the photos I’ve posted on this site so far.

For this reason, I hope to soon replace this photoblog with a brand new one, complete with cleaner interface and better photography. Meanwhile, please feel free to browse my old photos. I will be posting any new photos to my flickr page while I am constructing the new photoblog, so please check that out :)
