Bon Appetit!: Steak & Sambal Chicken

Well Superbowl Sunday was great, had the big steak to match the big game heh.

Marinated in wine and peppercorns.

Thought that I would have something more close to home this time around, googled up a random local recipe and decided to try it out!

Sambal is chilli paste btw! A tad spicy but brings me right back with the feeling of home.

Sports: Harlem Globetrotters @ UB

So they came by to the Alumni Arena at the University of Buffalo for an evening of wholesome family entertainment. Was very fortunate to not just go, but to shoot right on the floor heh (thanks Tim!)

Totally enjoyed myself, loved the antics that they pulled and some of the moves were just amazing heh.

Bon Appetit!: Breakfast

Well, not my everyday breakfast but sometimes i kinda like to indulge a lil (esp the bacon – omg i loveeeee bacon)

A lil reward for working out (heh!) and staying out and active yesterday heh!

Scrambled eggs + bacon + bagel

People: Evangeline

Heh. Dragged her out into the cold cold windy weather last night to meet the rest of the photographers here in UB heh. Was kinda lucky i didn’t lose any fingers, since i dropped one side of my gloves off at Governors when we went to pick her up heh. think it must have been -20ºC (even though the weather forecast said it was -3ºC) with the crazy wind.

Well it was fun out, crazy jumpshots and waking up this morning feeling like an ol’ bag of bones heh. Good shoot anyhow!

Strobist: B800 into beauty dish with sock high camera right, 430EXII far camera right, triggered via syncs.

Bon Appetit!: Fried Rice

Just thought I would shoot something a lil different and not quite yet different from most of the things I shoot.

Some of the comfort foods in my diet heh. And at least it was easy to fix up! Minced beef, mushrooms and eggs!

Thoughts: Headspace

In psychology terms, this kinda means a person’s frame of mind. In other terms, it more commonly refers to a band of some sort. Punny huh?

Pretty much out of words here. its 2.40am and i can’t get to sleep. Thought I might have been a bit more tired thanks to the 4mi run that I did in the afternoon, but probably thanks to the 5pm nap i had before class, now i’m sleepless in Buffalo.

Well, not exactly sleepless. I just tend to wake up quite late the next day, which kills me. There’s quite a bit too do over the next few days and i’m not about to restart that pattern of “sleeping late, waking up EVEN later”

what has this gotta do with the picture? i don’t quite know. i’m just rambling on as it seems heh. fantastic headphones btw

Journeys: The Bench

Did a lil exploration back in the fall and chanced upon this wonderful bench with the overgrown bushes around it and the beautiful fall colors all around it, the brown maple leaves scattered on the ground and the towering trees right behind it.

So guess when yesterday was a bit too cold to run (-9ºC but with the windchill making it feel like -16ºC) i decided to troop out to shoot the bench once again. While I did not totally recreate the scene as I would have liked, it feels like a Spring/Summer edition is supposed to happen heh. Almost like paying homage heh!

David & Alice

Mentioned in a post a while back that I was back in Singapore and I shot my cousin’s wedding, well images are all done up and still working on the albums and stuff but here’s some images for you to share the moment with me (:

Thoughts: Finding Inspiration

heh. dug through my old un-edited photos from last year and realized how many photos i’ve not even looked at since i downloaded them into my hard disk.

I still remember this day, when three of us couldn’t figure out what to do and where to go to shoot, so we decided to shoot right outside my place. our theory was, “its not that we have to be somewhere interesting to shoot something interesting. we should create our own perspective on the things ard us to make it interesting, not just to us but for the rest of the world”

so anyway, i guess its the winter season and i haven’t really left the house much. I feel like i’ve turned into a giant polar bear with hands too big to hold a camera maybe i need to head out more hehh!

Its Thawing Already?!

Well.. not really. But it sure looks like it is. Weather’s been erratic of late. Just either warm with very cold wind or just cold heh.

Got a bit more adventurous at Glen Falls, jumped into the ‘ravine’ a bit to shoot those icicles heh. Also shoot a few frames of film. The last roll didn’t turn out that bad, wonders what I could do with film now heh.

Jiajia’s one of the those adventurous types. Also the type that makes silly little mistakes we all laugh about (mistakes, not her – just so covering my ass heh!)

Anyway, went back to Glen Falls that afternoon, with the light coming in nicely. Took a moment to pose her and voila!

Just had to add this one in, the more I look at it, the more i like it (:

Anyway, i missed the major snowfall that hit the place and turned it all nice and white. Hopefully, I will get a chance at it some time soon! Have a couple of shots in mind (:
