Alas, Vivitar 285, I barely knew ye

A rare self-portrait, Strobist style

Decided to bust out some of the camera gear for once…  After the party the other night, I noticed something odd…  The crappy little two-AA-powered Minolta Auto118X that I’ve not used at all up until the party is bright…  REALLY bright…  Way brighter than the

Steve’s Xmas Party 1

Sirima 2

Another picture from Sirima’s impromptu “pornstar hair” photoshoot.  She’s looking awfully emo here hehe. This is my Phoenix D92-BZS flash optically slaved off of my Canon 20D’s onboard flash dialed down as low as it would go.  I hadn’t received my triggers yet, so this

Angela in Old Sac Part I

Yesterday, Mr. Matt (Matt @facebook) and I hit up Old Sacramento for some photowalk fun.  It was Matt’s first time going out on a photowalk, so it was a lot of fun.  Eventually, another friend from work came out, the awesomely fun Angela.  She braved

Phoenix Rising

Back in September of 2006, I went to Cesar Chavez Park in downtown Sacramento and shot a couple of bands at Rock Wars, a battle of the bands competition.  My buddy’s band, A Borrowed Life was playing, and I hadn’t seen Anthony in a while,
