Another photo adventure with the prodigious @rezalotfphoto
Part 3/3 I wanted to add a recording I did of the choir warming up, but it seems I can’t upload it? Thought it would’ve been neat to hear it while looking through these. Oh wells. Oh, oh, and, and, I used generative fill to remove a perso
Part 2/3, more walkin’ ‘round, and the doubletree saga continues.
This is a set of pics that I’ve started to gather pretty much ever since I began taking pics. I don’t know what it is about trees, but I can’t help myself sometimes, in particular if there’s any sort of human involvement, like
Went to UCI with rezrez @rezalotfphoto for a little walkabout. Kinda going with a doubletree motif. No affiliation or sponsorship with the motel, though I wouldn’t be against it.
I swear I wasn’t following that guy around. Credit to @rezalotfphoto for finding the angle on that first pic.
It was a rather flat and gray day for pics outside. Alas, carpe diem.
I took a lot more pics of @rezalotfphoto ‘s back this time around. I know what’s what my audience wants, and I deliver.
Our final stop was the Petersen museum, just in time for the lights to pop through in twilight too. I tried out a polarizer for the first time in the first shot, and I think it made a better picture, but it started give that ‘wide angle polariz
While driving to the next place, we spotted a structure we’ve never seen, and decided to take a detour to get a shot of it, then noticed the cathedral right across the way. We only had 9 minutes here, and while I went straight for the shot of t
Our next stop was right nextdoor at the Gehry / Disney concert hall. First time shooting any of these places for me and Rez too, except he did the Broad a bit before (check them out btw they’re fantastic). These are the ones I like the most, bu
Went adventurizing with Reza (@rezalotfphoto, go follow him; he actually posts things) in LA for a few hours. We had 40 minutes at the broad, and I got fixated on this particular stairway. If it looks like I did weird things to make them work, it&rsq
Architecture in video games- The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe. I think it’s particularly interesting to see the things we build when unbound by the constrictions of physics. More games these days are also taking into mind photography of all th
The phone pics from that day
Went on a photo day with @rezalotfphoto to shoot the Geisel Library in UCSD. Didn’t even know it existed prior to him telling me about it, and as soon as I saw it I wanted to go down with him for a small adventure.
I’ve been hesitating to put this up for a while now. I’ve only shown this to one or two people, and probably only explained why to one of them. A lot of people ask me why I got into photography, and half the story is that it was from a tr
Some years ago, underneath the stars, we made some of our own.
Another old thing- I made these as experiments after I accidentally put my hand in front of my light source for the beam photos. It created a great color gradient as the cool light from my strobe mixed with the warmth from the back-glow of my hand. I
Obligatory flower photograph! And cropped because Instagram seems to hate one of the most common aspect ratios in photography! There’s absolutely nothing wrong with occasional delves of aestheticism.
I decided I’d stray away from the more introspective journalistic approach to this whole thing and just post some stuff. Anyways, this was a morning sunrise in Death Valley. I went with a geology field study group some years ago, and part of th
