LONG EXPOSURE WEEK

This week I’ve been doing a lot of longer exposure photography started off this week going to San Francisco with Darren to snap a couple photos then back to the East Bay the next day Viet went with me to photograph some LightStream photos and went to San Francisco to meet up with fabio to shoot. Enjoy the photos.

Earlier that week went to Chinatown to find some smoke bombs walked around for about 15 minutes looking for it. It really took about two hours total because no one knew exactly where to get the smoke moms they just knew it was in Chinatown was a pretty big headache to find actually also some pictures from San Francisco and the rest of the week.

KENNETH GRADUATION

Congratulations to my bro Kenneth for graduating high school today!

EAST BAY ADVENTURE

Woke up did a couple errands then met up with Lucy. She’s leaving the bay area and moving for school so we planned to take some photos before she left. We went to some spots in the East Bay and Alameda and downtown Oakland at the Cathedral of Christ the lights. There has not been many architecture buildings I’ve been to that have taken my breath away for a couple seconds but this church definitely did. I love wood in architecture at one time I wanted to be a architect and I find this building to be outstanding.

After that got some ice cream at the cookie bar since it wasn’t that far away.

SF MINI MEET

As usual I got a late start because believe it or not I’m a slow person usually takes me a while to get ready but this time it wasn’t my fault after getting to his house we went to Bart and met up with everyone . After that we headed to treasure Island to take photos. I been here probably 30 times now so I was not really exciting anymore but they seem to have fun going to new places we did jump the gate which was the first time for me as well and I did get a unique angle on the bay bridge after that we headed back to San Francisco to pick up Adam after that we headed to Chinatown and bumped into my friend Lucy. After that try to do some rooftop shooting but it was a fail because it was so foggy that we took some photos in the tunnel and called it a night. Hopefully next time I get a good image.

NAPA TRIP

Took a trip with Nai and Mary to Napa Valley to go get macaroons and wine taste Took about an hour and a half to get there once we got there went to get macaroons first then headed to Gotts to get a burger I ended up getting a chicken sandwich with outside the restaurant was pretty good. After we ate we left and headed to the next winery this winery was a castle called Castillo di amorosa we tasted several different wines and I ended up picking out a wine that was pretty good and got one from my aunt. After that we went outside the castle and there were several animals in the back. I’m not really into line but it was really good thanks Nai for taking me.

Here is the outfit I wore to napa.

The next day I decided to take, more like do a series of nature shots since I sold my macro lens I rarely taking photos of flowers or nature. I wanted to incorporate water for a series of flour shots I use my faucet and a mess and shower settings to get the proper rain drops. Overall think the photos came out really strong and I might be present in these at school and will hopefully continue on with the series. I also got a couple photos of my neighborhood cats that turned out really good my opinion looks like he’s mad and mugging but he was just yawning. Enjoy the photos!

INTERNATIONAL UNDERGROUND MEET DAY!

Woke up this morning check if I was prepared and clear memory cards charge batteries try to decide if I wanted to bring a tripod or not but decided just bring my camera. Went to pick up Nikk then to Darren house to walk to bart. Thought I would’ve been late but ended up only five minutes late.

This was the first time I’ve ever hosted a Instagram meet up ever and it took more work than I expected partly my fault for not telling people exactly where to meet at BART. Either ways I got the group of people together that I could find then we headed to The selected BART stations.

I will like to thank everyone that has participated in the event if they were able to make it to the meet up or not! I was aiming for about 30 people at the meet up but it was more like 20 some people left on their own before I could get them in a group photo. Besides that overall there’s 30+ people participating in the events so that school I would just like to get everyone in the photo nonetheless I think the event was successful for my first time hosting a Instagram meet up and doing it by myself pretty much but not without the help of many Instagram accounts.

I like to get a major shout out to CLIFTON ( UNDERGROUND_NYC ) which is the reason I’m hosting this event thanks for giving me the opportunity.

San Francisco night photography,plus week

Went with Darren to San Francisco to take photos of the bay bridge. The bridge has recently changed names not the new east span but The older side is town named after Mayor Willie Brown. Anyway it was a clear night some great shots of the bridge when I got back home I made what I’ve been craving for a a while.

Sweet cornbread – honey and powder sugar on top

Fresh-cut fries, jumbo prawns and catfish.

The next day I want to looking glass in Berkeley to check out the 35mm 1.4 lens . The three photos in Lookinglass are with the 35mm. Overall the land is really great I will buy one sooner or later but right now I don’t need a new lens

Want to umami burger with Mary it was my first time going and I ordered truffle fries onion rings and a double cheeseburger overall it was okay don’t know if I won’t be going back anytime soon my case.

Headed to treasure Island with Darren for A photo shoot but the person ended up rescheduling so we ventured around treasure Island taking photos.

With Darren and Edwin to find a little puddle so we can do a sneaker Photo shoot at Mills College we’ve been looking for a spot for about two weeks finally found one the photo came out pretty clear to me.

Here’s some outfits from the past week I’ve been wearing

Sox fitted
supreme Jacked
Nike tech joggers
2001 Jordan Black cement III

SOX fitted
undefeated T-shirt
Nike jogger pants
and Tiffany High Sb

Meet up with Amber and got a opportunity to go inside Levi’s. Office in San Francisco it was pretty cool to see up-and-coming designs and how they work.

Did a baby shower at the Claremont Hotel’s here a review of the event.

HOMEMADE: CHEESEBURGER

Been looking for pretzel bread for a while now finally they got it at a couple Safeway’s. But they were not as big as I would expect them to be. So I decided to make double cheeseburgers, they’re a little too big to be considered sliders. Sliders are considered to be small this was really big I couldn’t call me with my hand and I can Pom a Basketball easily. Anyways here’s some photos and a brief time lapse on how I made the cheeseburgers and fresh-cut french fries. It took about an hour to do all of this preparation to finish.

You will need the following

Pretzel bread

red onions or regular onion

Ground beef

Fresh lettuce mayonnaise fix sliced bacon

Fresh-cut french fries:

Couple pounds of potatoes

oil

pan

sea salt garlic

Overall this dish was really good but I may have overdid it on making it a double cheeseburger made it hard to eat but it was delicious nonetheless. Stay tuned for more recipes soon.

WARRIORS GAME + MORE!

Still trying to get back on track with my blogging the hardest part about getting back on track is more uploading it to Flickr since I add it to groups and tags which takes up a lot of time or descriptions anyways. Went to Alameda with Edwin and Lenerd to snap some sneaker photos and hang out.

The next day I went to the Warriors game thanks to Nai. Went with Nai’s girlfriend her daughter and Mary. We got some pretty good seats and enjoy the game. Ended up sitting next to the guy that’s on one of the Warriors commercial when Barnes jumps over him you might’ve seen that commercial if you watch basketball. Even though the Warriors lost it was a good game.

–The next day I hung around the studio while Darren took some photos. The rest of these photos are just random.

– Went downtown Oakland with Edwin to check out the falling tree this tree has been knocked over for a while ever since we had some heavy wind about for five months ago. I guess as a tourist attraction for Oakland or a hangout spot now, anyway it’s pretty cool to see in person and definitely a big ass tree Thank you”hurricane hyphy”

The rest of the photos are some sneaker photos from that past week
