hey all,

i understand that has been a long time since my last update – for that i apologize. my first semester in architecture has been quite difficult, and waiting in various places on my hard drive are some pictures i’d love to put up here. here’s a quick preview from the most recent wedding, held at The Whitney in Detroit, a beautiful old home that’s been turned into a restaurant and event venue. more to come, hopefully soon!

Around Singapore, pt. 1

Greetings, friends!

Today is my last day in Singapore – at 2.30am, I will board a flight that will take me back to Detroit via Moscow and Houston. Before leaving, I wanted to go out to look at my adopted hometown through a camera lens – to play tourist, to see things that I may not have paid much attention to before. Part 1 of this series comes from Arab St., the old Muslim quarter during Colonial times.

HDR Goodness

Greetings, friends!

I decided to try something new today. (Uh-oh, you may say) I woke up before sunrise and walked across the street to the park by the reservoir (kinda like a lake) to catch some pictures at sunrise. I played with hyperfocal distance and bracketing, and came back home to work together a HDR image. Now, I’m normally not very good at landscapes, and I’ve never really done HDRs before, and I didn’t have my tripod because it’s in different pieces in Texas and Florida, but with a little knowledge, software, patience, time, and caffiene, it’s doable. I’m happy with it.
