Meetup: Urban Edge

  • 16 November 2014
  • MIT
A few weeks ago I helped organize a Meetup shoot. Sadly I spent more time organizing and helping other photographers than I did getting my own shots. The 13 shots below are the only evidence I have of a 3 hour event! They were all captured in the last 10...

Oklahoma City National Memorial

  • 19 October 2014
In addition to the state capitol, I also visited the Oklahoma City National Memorial while in OKC. A few shots are below. I didn’t spend much time here, so I don’t have much to write. If you’d like to learn more, visit https://www.oklahomacitynationalmemorial.org.

Oklahoma State Capitol

I spent a portion of last week on vacation in Dallas, which happens to be just a 2.5 hour drive away from Oklahoma City. I have a bucket list to fulfill, so Michelle and I made the trek last Sunday. Of the six capitols I have visited, Oklahoma’s is the...

The Dame and the Detective

  • 16 August 2014
I did a shoot over a month ago a fellow photographer, Joey Phoenix, actor Matt Wolf, and makeup artist Ariana Leigh. We knew we wanted to do a noir shoot and had a few shots in mind, but were winging it for the most part. We ended up shooting at...

2014 Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular

  • 4 July 2014
The fireworks came early for us here in Boston due to rain from hurricane Arthur. Unfortunately I was a bit late arriving to the show and without my tripod. Fortunately I was still able to get a few great shots by resting the camera on my backpack. Most of the...

Montreal

  • 26 June 2014
Michelle and I took a trip to Montreal. This was her first time visiting the city and my third. I must admit the trip was bittersweet as it marked my first time in Montreal without seeing my good friend Alexia (who now lives on another continent). I was reminded of...

WICF 2014

The sixth annual Women in Comedy Festival took place earlier this month, and it was riot as usual. Michelle and I enjoyed the shows we attended. Even better, we got to dine with Maria Bamford, Bethan Van Delft, and Jackie Kashian after Thursday’s show. What a funny bunch! If you...

Camelopardalid Meteor Shower

Late last night we drove from Dallas to Denison, Texas to view the Camelopardalid meteor shower. Early Saturday morning (1-3 AM CDT) would mark the first occurrence of this event and some observers predicted as many as 100 shooting stars per hour. Unfortunately, the predictions were wrong; we only saw...

Courtney & Lilly

  • 24 May 2014
Here are a few shots from a shoot a couple weeks ago. The models are my acroyoga partners, Courtney and Lilly. The shots were all taken at a couple locations at MIT. Despite the not-so-great weather, the shots came out rather well.

Competition

  • 21 May 2014
This morning I awoke to a somewhat frantic email from a local marketing manager. Another local photographer was scheduled to shoot headshots for the entire office and had just canceled…after another photographer canceled the day before. Less than two hours later I’m in the office, taking portraits. The shoot took...

NYC — March 2014

  • 12 April 2014
I took a vacation to NYC at the end of March. I finally got to visit the High Line and Guggenheim Museum. I also made an impromptu trip to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH). If you haven’t visited any of these locations, do it. Even on a rather...

WordPress Theme and Plugin

  • 20 March 2014
The great thing about being both a photographer and a software engineer is that I don’t need to rely on others to build my website. The bad thing about being both a photographer and a software engineer is that I have only myself to blame if development is too slow...

San Francisco

I was going to start this post with a bit of backstory regarding how I ended up in San Francisco. Half-way through my opening paragraph, I realized that it potentially gave away a few confidential details about Kyruus’ upcoming deals. Oops. Instead, here is the simple version. I was initially...

New York City Architecture

  • 9 February 2014
Back in May I posted photos of Michelle in New York City. Well, I have finally finished editing the non-Michelle photos, and I must say I am quite impressed. Normally, I don’t find my non-portraiture work very appealing. After all, I am my own harshest critic. However, these are some...

Pirouette

  • 3 February 2014
  • MIT
On Saturday the MIT Club of Boston held its annual skating party. Here is a GIF I made from a short burst of images shot during the event. This marks my first time using Photoshop CS6’s animation/timeline functionality. Creating this was rather simple with the aid of a nice tutorial....

Texas State Capitol

Toward the end of last year I created a photography bucket list with various shots and projects I want work on. One of the items on my list includes a collection of photographs of all 50 state capitols. While I have a few shots of the Rhode Island and Massachusetts...
