On Vacation: Location: BIG D!!!!

The last time I went to Dallas was for the NBA All Star Game. World Record for the largest attending audience for a basketball game. However, this time I came to see my best friends Francis and Cait. I didn't necessarily need to do the whole tourist thing. I feel like I did that last time. I wanted to see how they're living...not to judge them but for my own peace of mind. I was just excited to be there. They both mean so much to me in Esco, I just had to visit. As soon I flew in, we went to Henry's Tavern for a post flight meal and drinks. The disappointing thing is that the Clippers lost against the Grizzles that day. They also lost the following Saturday night. Disappointing day for me. But it was fun watching the NFL draft throughout the weekend to see how we (chargers) picked up Manti Te'o.

Back to my trip...

I just wanted to throw some of the photos up before I go to bed. I'll be sure to update more details throughout the week. I go back to work then preparing for a wedding on Saturday. Then I have to edit those photos then move into new pad. Those pictures will come soon too when I'm done. I plan on doing a before and after when I move in.

This Dallas trip was important to me. But I'll have to postpone til later. It's getting late. But check out the slide show and the photos. Music from the slide show was done by Daft Punk feat. Pharrell-Get Lucky.

Like always...thanks for looking.

First Rodeo

Lakeside Rodeo!!! YEeeeHaaaW!!!! I wore my shit kickers and flannel print shirt to fit in. I don't think I did a great job on it. I was only Asian there! It was like Where's Waldo, but Where's Asian. I saw some other guy with a slanted eyes and a camera, just like me. I even asked them, "Are you Asian?" to find out to my disappoint that he wasn't Asian. I had a great time for my first Rodeo. Great environment, probably cause I went with some kick ass friends and new faces. I was probably so annoying with all the questions I had. "Why is the horse/bull bucking?" "Does it hurt the calf?" The list can go on for a while. But I have a better understanding and appreciation to cowboys of all kinds. It's a different type of strength, like MMA fighters they're built for a purpose. Fuckin' going to the gym for fit is all Hollywood and looks. However, this event to the rodeo was perfect timing. Things have been busy for me, so its hard and kind of stressful. I needed something new and exciting. It hypes me up for my visit when I see Francis and Cait in Texas. I know I won't be roping any steer and horses, but its all about getting that cowboy mentality. Hahaaa.

On Location: Carlsbad Flower Field

I always try to make it to the fields once a year. The last time I went was a couple years back for an engagement shoot. It was super fun. Now I have a macro lens and haven't really taken advantage of it yet. It was a really bright day, so some of my shots look blown out on some parts. But it doesn't bother me too much. The flower field has so much to offer. Initially I thought it was just a field, but there are specialty flowers throughout the entire base of the property. I'm surprised I just noticed it now. I even Ryu enjoyed the spot. Smiling from ear to ear knowing spring time is here. 

The sad thing is, I don't know a lot about flowers. I can barely identify a rose. The colors are just so bright and catches my eye. I'm glad to see people bringing their family and camera out. One of the many things I do enjoy about San Diego.
Stand out where ever you go!

Closer








Like always...thanks for looking. Try to visit the fields too before they close. They close on Mother's Day. They usually have a brunch served on the fields. Not Allergy friendly.
