Love being outdoors and sharing the experience with others

Life comes at you pretty fast. Don't blink or you might miss it. ⁠
⁠
===⁠
⁠
Lately when I meet someone and they ask me how old I am, I'm surprised by my answer. It didn't seem that long ago when that number felt smaller....and more manageable. Fortunately the reactions are still generally one of surprise where people don't think I look (act?) my age (asian don't raisin). But the reality is that I'm a lot older than I remember I was and it brings about a lot of reflection. ⁠
⁠
I keep reminding myself that everyone's path is different but I can't help but look around at my friends and notice the vast difference between where I am in life and where others are (married, 2 kids, etc). The difference that just a few years ago felt small but manageable now feels like a vast ocean. I'm not envious but it's more just an awareness of how something that was once very familiar is now much different and I can't get over how fast it all happened.

Sometimes someone walks in to your frame for just a few magical moments

23/06/2023

Photography doesn't necessarily have to be hard. It can be relaxing and casual but I've found that to get unique shots...you have to be willing to suffer a little bit (a lot?).⁠
⁠
In frame is a picture of Taipei from an overlook on a cliff. The route I took to get here was closed because too many people had gotten hurt / died climbing it. I can read Chinese but perhaps it was willful ignorance as I passed by the sign that said 峭壁危險請勿攀爬 which basically translates into "cliff ahead, dont climb". Obviously I ignored the sign which I generally don't do but I felt confident the trail was within my abilities. ⁠
⁠
I also wasn't necessarily planning to stay until sunset to get this shot. In fact I was actually intending to just have a casual stroll but I couldn't help myself once I saw the composition. The suffering for this particular shot was how cold it got up on the mountain once the sun dipped. I'm usually prepared so I brought a jacket but I didn't anticipate it being that cold so I hopped around on the cliff trying to keep myself warm until I was satisfied with the shot then scrambled down in the dark. Would not recommend but not gonna lie...worth it.

Whatever the perspective, Black Lives Matter.

San Francisco painted our version of the BLM mural leading into City Hall on Fulton street Friday.

"While You Were Sleeping..."⠀
⠀
Milky Way season is just about in full swing! I took this picture during a weekend backpacking trip in White Sands. I've wanted to camp there ever since seeing how pristine the white sand is and I finally got to do it over President's Day weekend. Camping out in the middle of nowhere is amazing because of how peaceful everything is at night. Once darkness falls, there's absolutely no sound around and you can hear your heartbeat. also, in typical fashion, I underestimated how cold the desert would be in the winter so I hid in my tent while I let the camera do the heavy lifting. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

"Hey, You There?"⠀
⠀
I captured this image over President's Day weekend in White Sands National Monument. I had been wanting to go camp out there for quite some time and finally had the opportunity to do it. Normally when I'm shooting astro, I try to go to really remote places with dark skies. While White Sands is in the middle of nowhere, it's also surrounded by multiple small cities. Even though the cities are small. they still give off enough light pollution where the glow is visible to the naked eye. While I've generally tried to avoid light pollution, I've started to like how it adds a splash of color to the night sky sometimes. ⠀

In this picture you can see Orion's Belt (the 3 stars in a row) flanked to the left by Sirius which is the brightest sky in the Earth's atmosphere. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
