Happy birthday, Kris!

February 23rd, 2010

My bro-in-law celebrated his birthday over the weekend. My sis threw an informal par-tay at their new place in their clubhouse. Gave me a good reason to dust off my trusty DSLR & ringflash & take some party photos with their friends.

Happy birthday, Kris!

Happy 40th birthday, Nano!

February 16th, 2010

His good friends & family threw him a superb surprise birthday party last Saturday. I designed the official uniform for the day…the similarity is uncanny.

Happy birthday, Nano! We love you.

Goodbye, old apartment

February 11th, 2010

Bittersweet…I was excited to move into a bigger place, but so sad to leave my trusty ol’ studio apartment. With the exception of my dorm room in Japan, this was my first apartment on my own. I’ve only been there for a year, but I’ve had good times in that small box.

We’re still in the process of unpacking our boxes (oops, I mean I’m still unpacking my boxes), so I’ll try to get photos up as soon as we’re settled.

My dad got tired of waiting for me photographing the apartment, so he picked up the vacuum & went over the place once. My bro is supervising.

Drama at an A’s game

February 7th, 2010

Came across this gem of a photo recently. I invited some friends & family to come with us to an A’s game because I had a deal on really good lower level seats & Jordin Sparks happened to be holding a small concert after the game. A few rows in front of us, a bunch of friends had a bit too much to drink. Fortunately for us, they’re emotional drunks. One of the few fights that occurred within their group was between this teary-eyed guy & his buddy. Everyone that sat at least four rows behind them were watching intently, a soap opera drama unfolding

It was so entertaining, Clay video recorded a portion of the scuffle, dubbed with their custom audio track.

Do you like kangaroos? I do!

February 4th, 2010

An Australian photo album wouldn’t be complete without a photo of a kangaroo! It was our last few days in the country, & right next to our beach resort was a wildlife sanctuary. They have this breakfast thing where you can have breakfast with the birds, so we thought it would be a good place to start our day before heading back to the airport.

They had all kinds of native animals for viewing. You can walk right up to a kangaroo. They’re a bit scary—they have really huge claws on their feet. Don’t wanna mess with them.

It was pouring when we visited, so there were puddles all around. My shoes & socks were soaked, but I tried my best to try to keep the rest dry by rolling up my pants & covering up with a cheap poncho.

The birds rely on human leftovers, so they can be a bit gutsy:

Was the place worth our time? Absolutely.
