People!

As you may have noticed, rarely do I take photographs of people. However, I have been feeling the need to branch out into the world of portraiture, so when I was in Chicago, I went on an engagement shoot with my super-talented friend, Cathy. (Check out her work at http://www.cathysunu.com/.) This was my first time observing the inner-workings of what makes a shoot like this successful. I even got in a few shots of my own! Thanks, Cathy, for letting me tag along and learn from you!

Ferris Wheel

I love Ferris wheels. I love the shape, I love the intricacies within the structure, and I love that everything you see in the Ferris wheel serves a purpose. And what better place to take pictures of a Ferris wheel than in Chicago, where the Ferris wheel was born?

Chicago Again

During the last week of June, I made it out to Chicago to spend a glorious week visiting my friends and, of course, my best friend. We ate, drank, shopped, laughed, and danced until we were spent. I am already looking forward to going back. In the meantime, enjoy these shots from my trip.

Oldies but Goodies

I've posted the following up on Flikr before, but felt like they also needed to be incorporated into my photoblog. The following were done as assignments for the one and only photography class I have taken. These were not taken using my digital SLR, but my manual SLR.
