A good friend of mine and a talented painter, Annie Lou, posted this link. We met through our early years at San Diego State, and I don't get to see her very much, but when I do, we talk about where we are and where we want to be.

I think it's a thing to record and take note of THE date you started to live in this concrete jungle. A "milestone" I think a lot of people like to keep track of. The day one decided to make that jump. It can be both a magical and harsh reality-- this city. It can be inspiring and challenging. It can be a moment of clarity or moments of uncertainty. It's something different for everyone, but no one can deny that New York has a definite attraction. <br /><br />Poems, songs, books and movies are created that introduce New York as its main character... I created a multi-media piece-- okay, i created two-- about my one year love affair with this city. They are both pretty similar in terms of music and layout. But, I was quite torn in what I wanted to show with this piece--something more personal to share with friends or something more general for others to relate. Or should I find the balance between the two? I had so many photos and videos to edit through, so it was a definite task to eliminate. <br /><br />So, I really like the beginning of Take One-- but I think the photos go too fast, and this piece is more a "personal piece." The pace, I like to argue, represents the speed of this past year-- it just flew by.... BUT, the second piece, definitely has a slower pace- which allows the viewer to absorb the photos longer--BUT, not all the photos I wanted made the cut. The beginning of my second piece, I feel is a bit cliche--but I do like the ending. So, I am still trying to figure out which one best represents my eye-- my experience and perspective of New York. Maybe both do--- or maybe I just need to buckle down and edit. What do you think???? Yet to make a "final" edit.<br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13027666&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13027666&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/13027666">One Year in NY- Take One</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user971014">Diana Diroy</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13027794&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13027794&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/13027794">One Year in NY- Take Two</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user971014">Diana Diroy</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>dee-a-nuhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05776139761566683850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212363578298012882.post-5193100821339551562010-06-22T13:35:00.000-07:002010-06-23T05:35:24.433-07:00Ma-mamiya!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMoH_rO2_CLjgHC40Ely6M5ip_rCHWPHz3uk7f05zjpvMUJi-OnYJNCbLL4X7UqNqZ6EKIUCCPXjgJQ6tSj4PNzbbVAEwYcrwuRY3uBSeHq5AtojyygEPcTyp9-4vrzeDzaoPY-spRTVA/s1600/img028b.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 316px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMoH_rO2_CLjgHC40Ely6M5ip_rCHWPHz3uk7f05zjpvMUJi-OnYJNCbLL4X7UqNqZ6EKIUCCPXjgJQ6tSj4PNzbbVAEwYcrwuRY3uBSeHq5AtojyygEPcTyp9-4vrzeDzaoPY-spRTVA/s400/img028b.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485704903036313698" /></a><br /><br />A couple months ago, I went on Craigslist in search of a film camera. I was not quite sure which one, but I knew I wanted one. Besides my Canon Rebel film camera, my Holga, and my Diana camera, I wanted an all manual camera. Through the advise of <a href="http://artisdifficult.wordpress.com/">Paul Quitoriano</a>, a talented photographer who also shoots with a Mamiya- among other light-capturing devices- I purchased a Mamiya 645. With school and work, I have not had much of a chance to play with my new baby, but got to take it out here and there. My first role, was not a success. The photo above is the only thing that was salvaged from accidental exposure. But besides my first roll, here are "proof sheets" of other photos I took. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOKiK28NRoVTeaN1kxdE8FsprhftUT3mNKNl6II0os9gw4Q_bS_oDbM6eAtKNj-9NdDqzmTk-gpt3xOFfG0LCofd6YOzb2XNBPBSdgZQu14sS7pdcxn710UB4GydNDqYOHrZ_zzf8rt3A/s1600/img030.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 284px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOKiK28NRoVTeaN1kxdE8FsprhftUT3mNKNl6II0os9gw4Q_bS_oDbM6eAtKNj-9NdDqzmTk-gpt3xOFfG0LCofd6YOzb2XNBPBSdgZQu14sS7pdcxn710UB4GydNDqYOHrZ_zzf8rt3A/s400/img030.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485700375849898786" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy3j2hSoZrLgwDfv9elOcEDdlOV9GFnvXI7i-h0xuwEh8XFl2po5EVcMoxa7BcLB0FFEpn7E6wST8mfhT-UyJ4P6lfc40VaqRYeKUTnO-VEl1eOMVcH4c6xlKxoGAE99eH0BkW6GN6zQA/s1600/img029.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 315px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy3j2hSoZrLgwDfv9elOcEDdlOV9GFnvXI7i-h0xuwEh8XFl2po5EVcMoxa7BcLB0FFEpn7E6wST8mfhT-UyJ4P6lfc40VaqRYeKUTnO-VEl1eOMVcH4c6xlKxoGAE99eH0BkW6GN6zQA/s400/img029.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485700373133107634" /></a><br /><br />I don't have a light meter, and am still learning the camera, and eventually I will work on a project with it. <br /><br />As for right now, I am on summer break. No summer classes, but I am still teaching Video Production for NYC City Parks Foundation and just started interning for <a href="http://twn.org">Third World Newsreel</a>. My focus right now has been video production and editing, but I'm really still trying to shoot photography as much as I can.

I have not heard or thought much about that term, until this past year. It is something that we probably do not think much about, but we always do... we perform. We are performers. The way one acts with her family, will be different from the way she will act with her co-workers. And in the internet world, when it comes to social networks like Facebook, its just the same. One puts on a show. Not necessarily something fake, but rather, revealing OR withholding certain things about one's self. Do I want this to be "professional" page for clients , or do I want this to be a spot to reconnect with friends or family, or do I want to use it to show photos of my work, etc... The reason why I bring this up, is because this blog is just the same. I am not really sure what to write or what to post because I am not sure what role I am performing in the blog. Is this my diary? Should I write about my feelings? Is this a spot to show photos I take? Is this a spot to talk about camera equipment or the newest documentary that has inspired me? But hey, why not all of the above? Maybe it is my "shy" or rather private personality. I like to share, but sometimes I wonder...who is reading this? Hello world ;)<br /><br />Anyway, I got to visit home about a week ago. Refreshing. It was a very short visit though. First thing I had to see was the ocean. The smell of fresh air and the sound of crashing waves-- definitely something I do not experience so much living in New York. And something I crave especially since I live literally right next to the JMZ subway line.<br /><br />(A View from my bedroom window)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg85blZoR00noMW42fVHa0mfjwRlqFEIntj7gz5SpzlhSf8gZkwyTnilaqMlAzADNh5PEVm4xCb_dFhQEtCwbiIsCOraXME6mXv8btsCYJWI4w6NmrxUia3JxDj34iX2ThtweSfcjkfBGc/s1600/IMG_4765.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg85blZoR00noMW42fVHa0mfjwRlqFEIntj7gz5SpzlhSf8gZkwyTnilaqMlAzADNh5PEVm4xCb_dFhQEtCwbiIsCOraXME6mXv8btsCYJWI4w6NmrxUia3JxDj34iX2ThtweSfcjkfBGc/s400/IMG_4765.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481038304915425426" /></a><br /><br />I think it was harder saying bye to home this time around, more than it was for me when I moved (which is about a year ago). Maybe because I have no idea when I will be back. Maybe because after being surrounded by people I love and being spoiled by my mom's HOME COOKING (!), it is hard to go back to what I know I won't have or see in a while. But here I am now--back in the concrete jungle, back into the groove of things. Or rather trying to find my summer groove. Meaning, I am plotting! Writing down goals, reading, researching, plotting....<br /><br />Its was hard to leave home...that's my grandma watching me leave. ;(<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgidMwXrTcnu7MqKDcynlUkG7SzUb2DryepW5BnAGgGxWPCa7L4pyje3Bzp39l1sCox41mqOdZ-jETKk9ViXKIG1uR3gAZSKkiasd4CnzV_iM1ApbtjQGJHXgyAnGLik_dfdhhQDF7la4E/s1600/IMG_6352.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgidMwXrTcnu7MqKDcynlUkG7SzUb2DryepW5BnAGgGxWPCa7L4pyje3Bzp39l1sCox41mqOdZ-jETKk9ViXKIG1uR3gAZSKkiasd4CnzV_iM1ApbtjQGJHXgyAnGLik_dfdhhQDF7la4E/s400/IMG_6352.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481045134052449250" /></a><br /><br />And that's a view of the beautiful bay that i miss so dearly. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA5QNGASIhvHHK-OZrv9U7rFABIIce66LYA1PYSNJRcqifCUlrrbsx2_QzafJVjonneSUp8T1f2iIpTxQR9UpyRETWG3GBf5wD-T-l1xMuR97uPxjlW_PpSvTrmteqs46DboaEwJSI8hY/s1600/IMG_6355.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA5QNGASIhvHHK-OZrv9U7rFABIIce66LYA1PYSNJRcqifCUlrrbsx2_QzafJVjonneSUp8T1f2iIpTxQR9UpyRETWG3GBf5wD-T-l1xMuR97uPxjlW_PpSvTrmteqs46DboaEwJSI8hY/s400/IMG_6355.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481046279145890738" /></a><br /><br /><br />(I think the theme of this post is definitely windows.)dee-a-nuhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05776139761566683850noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212363578298012882.post-8082469955014231562010-05-23T20:14:00.000-07:002010-05-25T22:17:07.324-07:00living in Bushwick, BrooklynI hear it takes about a year to adjust living here in New York. Or maybe I am making up an excuse as to why I have not been keeping up with my blog....adjustment. Absorbing. But how much can one absorb without being able to express or reflect on one's surroundings, thoughts, and experiences. How much inspiration, art, random/intellectual/enraging and engaging conversations can one undergo without being able to share. Maybe I have not been able to share with the internet world, but I feel I have other outlets in conveying my daily occurrences. Absorbing and recording, but not necessarily posting? Something I would like to do more often. I would like to say I will do more often, but seriously, no promises... <br /><br />I would like to share this piece though. This past semester one of the classes I took was Documentary Time-Based--basically learning the basics of sound using pro tools and editing using final cut. so for my final project I decided to work on a project that I have been really interested in. Gentrification. For the most part, my interest rooted from my observations of the neighborhoods I grew up around in San Francisco. Conversations are endless when I talk to my fellow Bay area natives about how much the Mission or the Excelsior are changing. "It used to be like this, and now it's like this..." But once I moved to Bushwick, Brooklyn, I realized that I was that new neighbor coming into a neigborhood I barely knew. I felt like I have experienced and am experiencing both sides of the coin. Which led me to my most recent project entitled, "Portraits of Bushwick: Immigration and Gentrification." <br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=11885156&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=11885156&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/11885156">Portraits of Bushwick : Immigration and Gentrification in Bushwick</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user971014">dee dee</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><br /><br />This is definitely still a work in progress.

I was excited just hearing about it. The first blizzard while living in NY... So I wake up the next morning a little bit past nine expecting to see snow... but none.

What can I say, time goes fast in this city, and when you're in the mist of adapting to a new place, starting grad school, settling down, and figuring out how to pay rent---one can be definitely be absorbed. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxaKnASPQOM-pPI45K0UFvW5VNWWx2BLTtkcV0HuQCTubTQFekZlvXlkqSECPIjnBgHLhta5m3HLHf7B5Sc2EiNkypq8OvP3_osATyhrTwzJY0E1fI5jXQCwV5ru9T02xRYuFk46sNT2c/s1600-h/IMG_9946-16.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxaKnASPQOM-pPI45K0UFvW5VNWWx2BLTtkcV0HuQCTubTQFekZlvXlkqSECPIjnBgHLhta5m3HLHf7B5Sc2EiNkypq8OvP3_osATyhrTwzJY0E1fI5jXQCwV5ru9T02xRYuFk46sNT2c/s400/IMG_9946-16.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388496861069803634" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8AiSs0p2klORsAfJtLBiEkk8Tdhk0mUA1AqoxHJdagaij7RLgpVkasBCz2_FnhBkw_L7mDicKa2Y44sIK5fBVWoi-he-w66HI6OmDbZgFuN8enwKRRsWrvvHUmoPaOm3Etu_vkuBuRCs/s1600-h/IMG_1099-133.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8AiSs0p2klORsAfJtLBiEkk8Tdhk0mUA1AqoxHJdagaij7RLgpVkasBCz2_FnhBkw_L7mDicKa2Y44sIK5fBVWoi-he-w66HI6OmDbZgFuN8enwKRRsWrvvHUmoPaOm3Etu_vkuBuRCs/s400/IMG_1099-133.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388493384167393874" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmNPzimL8jjRiTHj6m78-QKVBj_ZLFJTR-iGxSWjipjUAxNLRfU4qIiiJuRdQXpf2QXkEv8NWegEidmQxiPMeHVbieTZ7xSaJiUOmtp2Ga1e0DLFC6q2wxMqbnWLXuz32Clei17VKaIYk/s1600-h/IMG_1511-9.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmNPzimL8jjRiTHj6m78-QKVBj_ZLFJTR-iGxSWjipjUAxNLRfU4qIiiJuRdQXpf2QXkEv8NWegEidmQxiPMeHVbieTZ7xSaJiUOmtp2Ga1e0DLFC6q2wxMqbnWLXuz32Clei17VKaIYk/s400/IMG_1511-9.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388496846732657042" /></a><br /><br />I currently live in Brooklyn. Bushwick to be exact. In a three bedroom apartment with two friends from the Bay Area. I started classes about a month ago at the New School, pursuing my Masters Degree in Media Studies and Film. I started to have anxiety attacks in the beginning of the semester because I was struggling to balance the endless readings and assignments with my waitress job that requires me to get home at 4 or 5am. <br /><br />The "New York lifestyle" where it is quite unusual to be "nice." Where kindness is a weakness around here. Well, at least to some people I've been coming across. When the cold hearted folks start getting to be me, I remember some wise words that someone said to be..."Don't let anyone take away your spirit, your joy." <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqoyI8CbmkV_0qnzP94ZONDOdV7r0AO24xIHmm83IE1NMtO3b-rWKoTQGnDibAni8HpCyT4q7SB2ka0XM8X1AZTN5D7r4fDAG1BzXJ43eerm6EbZ2k8SGHKVsqMqfbrdgYGRy5ymfFOqs/s1600-h/IMG_0867-41.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqoyI8CbmkV_0qnzP94ZONDOdV7r0AO24xIHmm83IE1NMtO3b-rWKoTQGnDibAni8HpCyT4q7SB2ka0XM8X1AZTN5D7r4fDAG1BzXJ43eerm6EbZ2k8SGHKVsqMqfbrdgYGRy5ymfFOqs/s400/IMG_0867-41.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388490277789555538" /></a><br /><br /><br />Don't get me wrong, NY is not pure evil. I love New York. I don't know if its because of the millions of people living and moving on top of each other or that because one lives in NY one must have a certain state of mind--- but New York has a certain feel to it. I don't know how to define it, and I guess I am still trying to figure it out.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFoWoj2q1M_1l9uBSomPklA9mK1Lyq2ELu0wSb5Ym80cjjr0BRWszTpCRLuYjQtAe2YUCotdYDMxthjxVQO-awJtS-NxS8QhjNGuFgVDPxbTjVhNUn0P412-IYwuujUC9IUiz0ixhzwCA/s1600-h/IMG_8736-10.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

I smiled when he said that, because I know exactly what he is talking about. But, he only needs it every six months, I crave for inspiration at least once a week, if not everyday! haha... And for the most part, my craving is fullfilled maybe once a month. <br /><br />People are amazing... it is really nice to see how people grow, and how their creativity and artistic eye grow as well. <br /><br />Whether it be a fellow photojournalist I met through Chips Quinn, <a href="http://deannadentphotography.wordpress.com/">Deanna Dent</a>, who knows how to capture the beauty of a moment, or whether it be an old "room mate" whose growth in spirituality is evident in her music and her being, <a href="http://djraichous.blogspot.com/">djraichous</a>, or whether it be a friend from college whose brush strokes continue to be more bold, original, and beautiful, <a href="http://annielouwho.tumblr.com/">Annie Lou</a> -- I am quite lucky to be inspired by my friends, and to continue on the same road that our passion leads us---whether it be photography, music, or painting... <br /><br />Thank you. <br /><br />As a token of my appreciation, I will try to blog more, and post up photos more often! haha.... I am known to take a bunch of photos, but never really post 'em... okay, okay... I'll start doing it... <br /><br />Here are just two photos from the Chinese New Year Parade a couple months back... <br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpwyXHp9xEDr8N4Jjna9odKIE-dgrAZNlKBAdQZ7670e9QXQvTP3ygo-mDiu0tzPgodSfL2suR4yCtueNC3iLhkBiDqUTSyWKvtT1cvGzWRaOu8LLufzLcaCM-H3qRMsRS8QMYNi96nao/s1600-h/IMG_3286-2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpwyXHp9xEDr8N4Jjna9odKIE-dgrAZNlKBAdQZ7670e9QXQvTP3ygo-mDiu0tzPgodSfL2suR4yCtueNC3iLhkBiDqUTSyWKvtT1cvGzWRaOu8LLufzLcaCM-H3qRMsRS8QMYNi96nao/s400/IMG_3286-2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332067589667930418" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAOpz1bcSMnd7Ve-CcVE1hSIIEB8ktt8Aumk14kwjsXZOabEsYXAyYncjJCwq6_KGYj8pikamUcnsf7C5_m2IqsjmpJF9hSTnVXBXrz81u4pHRDBsFDf4IHoxR1CfFG86q6PDjrt9elis/s1600-h/IMG_3220-1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAOpz1bcSMnd7Ve-CcVE1hSIIEB8ktt8Aumk14kwjsXZOabEsYXAyYncjJCwq6_KGYj8pikamUcnsf7C5_m2IqsjmpJF9hSTnVXBXrz81u4pHRDBsFDf4IHoxR1CfFG86q6PDjrt9elis/s400/IMG_3220-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332067585100001058" /></a><br /><br />More to come...dee-a-nuhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05776139761566683850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212363578298012882.post-18747479623814218982009-04-30T22:24:00.000-07:002009-04-30T22:49:59.978-07:00Taking the time...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoSEsnOMbIpWoaywxrhQ0moNQN9ErlNhM90JaX8kQB6m_qQR9x60o5fpGZCQ4h_uB6o4OszO0PLdyJnZinXd4gpxES9271NGjYKIV0KiVNElFRv7ucQ5TlYIkhcx21OOqiceN9e0suLpE/s1600-h/IMG_5698.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoSEsnOMbIpWoaywxrhQ0moNQN9ErlNhM90JaX8kQB6m_qQR9x60o5fpGZCQ4h_uB6o4OszO0PLdyJnZinXd4gpxES9271NGjYKIV0KiVNElFRv7ucQ5TlYIkhcx21OOqiceN9e0suLpE/s400/IMG_5698.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330727591148550306" /></a><br /><br /><br />It's been a while since I last blogged... a lot has been going on I suppose... working on "projects," traveling with folks, and a little bit of this and that. <br /><br />It's May 1st tomorrow. The beginning of a new month. I remember around this time last year, I was preparing to come back home from the Philippines. Now, I'm preparing to leave home... I've been having doubts...not quite sure if I should stay or if I should go, but I think its just me going through that phase where I weigh out my options. And there's something that is just pulling me over there... my thirst for growth...<br /><br />When there's a countdown, everything around you is just magnified. Everything you wanted to do, but just didn't have time to do, seems to gain priority on the list of things to do. <br /><br />I love San Francisco and I love rediscovering its treasures. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif1PuN2XNzGuxRrcB26jksw-P6cnV0df1w8djmb_XLIYunfWLUcC7Zv55IJGXye8ZN9_F0gQv2i31NXp2BLjFoSMXqf6PNqH5L8I7pHvTzEzLjaQXCpYqcbWQNLdvz3kUv_C5Eecct65c/s1600-h/IMG_3819.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif1PuN2XNzGuxRrcB26jksw-P6cnV0df1w8djmb_XLIYunfWLUcC7Zv55IJGXye8ZN9_F0gQv2i31NXp2BLjFoSMXqf6PNqH5L8I7pHvTzEzLjaQXCpYqcbWQNLdvz3kUv_C5Eecct65c/s400/IMG_3819.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330727593304093874" /></a>dee-a-nuhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05776139761566683850noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212363578298012882.post-55875648016176103862009-03-16T01:02:00.000-07:002009-03-16T01:31:27.437-07:00My first time...So I can finally take a breath and re-focus. For the past couple of weeks, I've been in San Jose just preparing for the SJSU Inauguration photo show... We had our opening reception this past Wednesday, March 11 and the photos will be up until April 11 on the fifth floor of the Martin Luther King Jr. Library. The photo exhibit will then move to the Joyce Gordon Gallery in Oakland on May 1. <br /><br />Although it took a lot of time cutting, laminating, and mounting these prints-- it was a good experience. I learned a lot from the amount of work that goes behind an exhibit to the importance of the attention to detail. At the end, (and we're not at the end just yet)it was definitely a rewarding experience to see the end product. And it was really nice to see one of my prints blown up huge for the first time! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfb8ZBhemkysar65_EmtoLfWmfbMf68CkjZ2Q0zBA2wRONrdx7igQMzLsx5HqAXJVx80lR86Y6PwZcd4YGuB_nYlrk3V5rfooKj07NKTyd4nQ3QYmqa1pk-3BKXy8ER-pksmdNDmgHmug/s1600-h/IMG_4506.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfb8ZBhemkysar65_EmtoLfWmfbMf68CkjZ2Q0zBA2wRONrdx7igQMzLsx5HqAXJVx80lR86Y6PwZcd4YGuB_nYlrk3V5rfooKj07NKTyd4nQ3QYmqa1pk-3BKXy8ER-pksmdNDmgHmug/s400/IMG_4506.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313699475706778930" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ7BJprZn-0geERxYIKG4kgOLzz7KV8BCYGnFZ6hwI9zFr2qMjQIxLZAD7E2YOoIHPw2c3rUhEIIDu6KzpMxP7Xmot-b8nrnVCFJrvYGX8M0KPyE8ZnncGS9wGp63kc5x77-S7AW1oKcM/s1600-h/IMG_4507.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ7BJprZn-0geERxYIKG4kgOLzz7KV8BCYGnFZ6hwI9zFr2qMjQIxLZAD7E2YOoIHPw2c3rUhEIIDu6KzpMxP7Xmot-b8nrnVCFJrvYGX8M0KPyE8ZnncGS9wGp63kc5x77-S7AW1oKcM/s400/IMG_4507.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313699481472176370" /></a>dee-a-nuhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05776139761566683850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212363578298012882.post-27862323523510702132009-03-01T21:35:00.000-08:002009-03-01T22:32:44.396-08:00In between projects....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFqOENWRhqeecVR2-KMALSyeP-SiRyS1-YHPaj9R3xnaiC6tG6l_TcvOp2KARHWdRjiv5OpynZ-WMgql5OubcyibAb-jTyvtCgK7-7nVzDr9tdjJCq4C2eLz3Q7obGKCiKONLsIExcXrE/s1600-h/IMG_4333.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFqOENWRhqeecVR2-KMALSyeP-SiRyS1-YHPaj9R3xnaiC6tG6l_TcvOp2KARHWdRjiv5OpynZ-WMgql5OubcyibAb-jTyvtCgK7-7nVzDr9tdjJCq4C2eLz3Q7obGKCiKONLsIExcXrE/s400/IMG_4333.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308472295464057394" /></a><br /><br />I have basically been juggling projects for the past month...in between the inauguration post-production book and show, to my documentary, to wedding and event photos, to TRYING to get my website together--- my life has been in front of this computer screen for WEEKS!!!<br /><br />I just finished editing through the more than 1000 photos of the Golden Anniversary Wedding I photographed in early January.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc5Yy6xcdRTlwJXEuRc5cANwP7lLI5aK4AHUmAZV5-JetfSQkO9kDVrRYsm0xBQRJlYxLxBgsqYlSuSlfRHkQHGeBP5xzwzhFdHSgCxiDcmKrTrV-IkA8UOSMaPNoTKIxMNQrNbrJ_zlc/s1600-h/IMG_8553.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 281px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc5Yy6xcdRTlwJXEuRc5cANwP7lLI5aK4AHUmAZV5-JetfSQkO9kDVrRYsm0xBQRJlYxLxBgsqYlSuSlfRHkQHGeBP5xzwzhFdHSgCxiDcmKrTrV-IkA8UOSMaPNoTKIxMNQrNbrJ_zlc/s400/IMG_8553.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308461746094500738" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMYLH5g9K3p1N8HQ6IdYCq14blPycZXXHYux5h2PzN1com-InU3BCQkMRtVdyVP87vp354BTGpWXruDlFJbQLARjRMa2MsI_Di0UCrNOpdzLubQnHeuYW8sfqNMsVIIQ-1cYydJuW2aCw/s1600-h/IMG_8197.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMYLH5g9K3p1N8HQ6IdYCq14blPycZXXHYux5h2PzN1com-InU3BCQkMRtVdyVP87vp354BTGpWXruDlFJbQLARjRMa2MsI_Di0UCrNOpdzLubQnHeuYW8sfqNMsVIIQ-1cYydJuW2aCw/s400/IMG_8197.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308461755417819234" /></a><br /><br />I did have the time to take a break and go to the Andy Warhol Art Show at the DeYoung Museum.

But it also reminded me of Frida and Diego's crazy love story. <br /><br />''I don't believe in marriage. I really don't! Let me be clear about that,'' Ashley Judd says in the movie at Frida's and Diego's wedding,''I think at worst it's a hostile political act. A way for small-minded men to keep women in the house and out of the way, wrapped up in the guise of tradition and conservative, religious nonsense. At best it's a happy delusion. It's two people who truly love each other and have no idea how truly miserable they're about to make each other.'' She pauses. ''<span style="font-weight:bold;">But when two people know all of that and decide, with eyes wide open, to face each other and get married anyway, well, then, I don't think it's conservative or delusional. I think it's radical. And courageous. And very romantic</span>.'' She lifts her glass.

Among the survivors, those who are most isolated are the women who have borne children as a result of being raped. Their families have rejected both them and their children, compounding their already unimaginable emotional distress.<br /><br />An estimated 20,000 children were conceived during the genocide in Rwanda, and many of their mothers contracted HIV during the same encounters that left them pregnant. They feel they have lost their dignity, are alone and utterly powerless.<br /><br />Intended Consequences chronicles the lives of these women. Their narratives are embodied in portrait photographs, interviews and oral reflections."<br /><br /><a href="http://mediastorm.org/0024.htm"><img src="http://mediastorm.org/media/0024/images/450_Link/0024.jpg" width="450" height="253" border="0"></a>dee-a-nuhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05776139761566683850noreply@blogger.com0
