I was looking at my blog one day and i think its safe to say that i've come a longgg way.

2009-07-26T09:28:00.000-07:00

2009-05-27T09:22:00.000-07:00

Argh..

2009-05-22T20:46:00.000-07:00

i have this really bad habit of editing photos with the brightness of my mac turned wayy down, which inevitably makes pictures look more underexposed. so i adjust the brightness (not the one for my computer) and when im dun, the pic is way too overexposed, but i didn't know cus my brightness was wayy down.. which thus leads to this pic making my eyes hurt.. n probably yours too..smh

now normally, id go back and adjust this error, but right now im really not feeling like it.

my apologies.

2009-05-22T20:19:00.000-07:00

powww.

i need a drink...lol

2009-05-21T21:29:00.000-07:00

after speaking with an old friend today, i realized that my blog is very personal to me. i probably have 2 faithful followers even though it says i have 9..lol. i don't publicize this site because to be honest with you, im not ready for the criticism. sounds personal? mMm. but eventually, i will be.

yeaa.

i took these pics of my brother wayyyyy, wayyyyyy backkk. despite its seniority i constantly find myself re-evaluating and looking at them over and over in hopes of finding a flaw.

Dot |producer of Day n' Nite|

2009-03-01T14:26:00.000-08:00

with a specific aperture, shutter speed, and iso setting, anything can be captured.

2009-03-01T12:42:00.000-08:00

overexposure rocks.

2009-03-01T12:19:00.000-08:00

im a weird being. sorta. i've never really been into clothes HOWEVER!!! i feel like certain things define a person. certain things like the:

detail in their watch

size of their wallet

shape of their glasses

:shruggs:

ne who this is my new found love.(thx baybee) probably one of my most prized possession. weird right? i kno.

p.s. stop shakin your head at all my masta(yes masta)/visa logos, half of them are bank cards so

booyah!.

2009-03-01T12:03:00.000-08:00

so this is a fairly new photo that i took at chung king studios. i was roaming around aimelessy (while Dot and the rest of the HeadBanga Fam. were in the studio) looking at all the vinyls and i stumble upon mr. West, mr. West's. by far the coolest vinyl i've seen.

leave it up to Ye.

.Zeek.

2009-03-01T11:10:00.000-08:00

when i asked Isaiah (Zeeky boy) to let me shoot him i didn't think id have to beg. but after a couple "pleaasseeeee," "its gonna be funnnn," and my constant abuse of emoticons he agreed. :)

despite Zeek eating "fat man snacks" in-between shots and publicly undressing himself when came time to switch gear, we had a pretty awesome time.

snap.

thx Zeek!
