Monday was fun. I was able to hang out with a few friends from college that I haven't seen in person for nearly half a year. Time flies by so quickly but it was so easy to find a flow of conversation because we had a lot to catch up on. We ate at Patxi's Chicago Pizza on Hayes St. in San Francisco. I liked it quite a bit; the pizza wasn't too overwhelming and each ingredient had a nice flavor that was about to come through.

Afterward, we went to Smitten which was nearby and I got the classic vanilla which was tasty and fun to watch being made. We really are living in the future.

Today, I finally played with my white seamless that I got cut shorter (I bought a wide one on accident) and took some shots of my sister.

2012 Photography 365

365 Photography projects were always cool to me but I could never get into it because I always wanted to start at the beginning of the year and I usually missed it. This year, I luckily have some photographs from the past few days. Let's see if I can do it. Here are the first three photographs of the project.

A Little Bit of Christmas

I only have photos from two out of the five parties I attended for the past three days. I was just too exhausted and full to take more which I slightly regret. Anywhere here is a slight peak at my holiday celebrations.

On Thursday, Perry, Christine, Ashley and I decorated Ashley's tree! It was a lot of fun. Afterward we played Just Dance. I'm addicted.

Christmas Gifts From Afar!

My friend Tritia, from Southern California, sent me me a cute tin of delicious cookies and candies! I shared quite a few with my family and they agreed. I love my friends! So thankful.

Adopt a Family

Today, my friend Perry and I photographed the gift-wrapping session for Adopt a Family which is held by Capture the Dream. Adopt a Family is just like the name implies; you can adopt a low-income family and provide them with gifts they otherwise could not afford for the holiday season. It felt like I was one of Santa’s elves.

Next week we get to witness the revealing of gifts! I’m excited.

Christmas Tree Selection!

Today, I went to a party of one of my mom's clients and met Santa. He hooked me up with a teddy bear. Haha. Afterward, we finally got our tree! It took a long time to decide on a tree. At first my mom had one but then changed our minds at the very last minute. I'll post some pictures of the before and after as soon as we get new Christmas lights.

I got a used SB-900 yesterday off of Craigslist and I'm really excited to start playing with it and my Vivitar for off-camera work.
