I was done at BCIT at about 1:30pm and needed to kill a few hours until my class at Langara at 6:30pm. So what would one do for 5 hours? Well, if you're like me, you would probably decide to do a photowalk. Of course, you would have also needed to bring your camera gear (which I had on me). So, my journey around the downtown core, is one of my … Continue Reading »
When I first picked up my Apple iPhone 4, I thought about getting a case for it, but with being a student, I found that spending $40+ on a case for my phone was a bit high. I'm really good with taking care of my electronics, and I didn't think that having my iPhone 4 caseless would be a big deal. Silly right? Spending $40 to help protect a $800 … Continue Reading »
One of the things that I am quite picky about when it comes to camera equipment is camera bags. I have multiple ones (Robyn says I am a camera bag horder) and each one has a specific purpose. I probably could not have too many of the either. With this past school year, I purchased a Macbook Air for school, but I also wanted to find myself a great bag … Continue Reading »
Yesterday evening I started my photography course at Langara; Digital Intermediate Photography (PHTG 1048). Ideally, I would like to take their Practical Lighting course, but was told I would need to take this course first. I did get to skip over their Basic Digital Photography (PHTG 1049) and Basic Digital Workflow (PHTG 1057) which is nice and I am very glad that I could because those would have been too basic … Continue Reading »
The past 4 days have been pretty relaxed. Last Wednesday was my last final exam for my 2-year program at BCIT in their CST (Computer System Technology) diploma program, and it has been a long 2-years. This has also been the first 4 days in a row where I did not have any assignments or homework that was needing to be done before the follow week, but I am not … Continue Reading »
Click on the above photo for a larger view This photo might not be the most interesting or best technical etc, but I thought it would be neat to show people how the Venetian, in Las Vegas, has a canal that winds its way through it. You can even take a Gondola ride, which I am sure can be a romantic thing to do. Granted, the Venice canals would be more … Continue Reading »
Click on the photo to see a larger version within this page. I haven't done a stitch in a while, but I wanted to post something on the sunny side of things. The weather here in Vancouver is a bit wet (when isn't it?) so I thought perhaps a sunny scene might help brighten up your day! The above photo is approximately 10 photos shot from left to right and then stitched … Continue Reading »
School has been pretty full on, having to stay late evenings and not getting home until 10pm. I don't feel like I am getting ahead either. So much work, so little time to do it in. Term 3 of BCIT's CST program is pretty full on and instructors like to remind us that if we make it through this term, we'll be fine for our fourth and final term of … Continue Reading »
The past few weeks have been quite stressful and busy for my school life so today, as the weather is supposed to be good, I decided to head out to the promenade of White Rock along with my camera. Since Robyn is in New York with one of her best friends, she has my main SDHC memory card. I had to hunt around to see if I had any other memory … Continue Reading »
Even though the Celebration of Lights was last night, I was one Vancouverite (can I still call myself one?) that did not want to go see them. Instead, I headed straight to VanDusen Gardens after work as I waited for Robyn to finish her shift. I brought a nice little dinner with me and sat on a bench underneath a weeping willow tree. Pretty relaxing actually. After I was done with … Continue Reading »
