Disneyland weenies, unite!

Three possible dates:

Weekend of June 11
Weekend of June 25 (right before I leave for Taiwan)
Some weekend in August

August is weird because it's not really set until I figure out where the heck I'm going. So there you have it, folks. Decide soon. :)

Cuteness!

"Why? Why are they following me?"

Ooh and speaking of photographs...

I got a 1985 Pentax K1000, a totally manual everything SLR camera, from ebay last week and tried it out on my graphic design project, after the utter failure of the disposable cameras I attempted to use a few days before. Dunno if my point-and-shoot would have done better, since it has a habit of underexposing every indoor shot I take.

Very pleased with the results, for the most part. Even though I have to manually set the aperture, shutter speed, and focus, at least it tells me what the light level is, LOL. Focusing needs more work on my part and the manual film-winding took me for a loop since I was worried that it wasn't advancing. Lost some exposures that way but whatever. Playing with the tripod, external flash and the 135mm zoom lens was fun though. The shots that I had put on CD were from my project, closeups of random things in the lab that form letters, so they aren't very artistic. I won't bother uploading them now...unless, of course, I get some requests. :P

And yay for snazzy new tripod (that I also got from ebay) that has some OOMPH to it. Old one I found at home was so light it would jitter around.

It seems that I've picked up yet another expensive hobby. But, an SLR camera body, 3 lenses (normal, zoom, wide angle), an external flash, a tripod, and a camera bag for $170 isn't tooooo bad....

Reports of my death are...

Logging in from a public computer (!!!) at the Torrance Library to post and say yes, I'm still alive. Home internet access is dialup and painfully slow, so I'm not even going to TRY to upload photos there. Most of the time I'm too lazy to even log into AIM.

Call me if you need me; you know the drill.
Will be in PV until the end of June; possibly will drop by Berkeley on one or two weekends.
Who wants to go to the Disneyland 50th anniversary celebration with me?

Yea, I've been gone for a while.

I put the charm on a couple days ago because I was bored of the clunkiness of the ugly black leather cover. I feel so much more Asian now, haha. Oh, and it's lit by my desk lamp, and cropped as well. I figure if I'm going to talk about doing things to photos, I may as well actually do it.

More production shots. I figure this is far enough away that people are unrecognizable anyway.

If I were to retake this photo, i'd put people more towards the bottom of the screen, and get more tall trees.

But that's what the crop tool is for.

Omg, I want one

Light-Up Saberspoon.

I wonder how that one would fly with the parentals. "You want what? Why?"
