a friend's new photography website

a friend of mine whom i've met somewhere in this land of freedom has just launched his new photography website:

darren frazier photography

he has taken some real nice scape shots from his globetrotting days.

also, you may want to check out another friend's new photography web site, too:

tim kettering

from my photographic experience in my lifetime, it's always BEST to shoot pictures of landscape during early AM because most peepos are asleep and most animals are active!

mercier bike

i finally had the time to take pictures of my new acquired used mercier fixed bike today:

so you can see that this bike definitely has NO brakes at all. a single-speed bike with no gear on the wheel. a purist's bike, i guess...

walked away from a nasty car accident...

just got into one-car accident with myself as a back seat passenger along with two friends in the front yesterday en route to fremont for a fun go kart racing. the tire's just blew out and the car got out of control (it was floating or so) and just slammed into the left shoulder curb and did rotated around a few times. (that was just my guess as it happened soooo quickly) luckily, i walked away with just a minor bruise on my forehead. my friends in the front weren't so lucky as me. the driver got his right side face blasted with nylon air bag causing some minor red scab and a scratched eyeball. also he's pretty sore all over his tall frame in his 10-year old small honda civic. the passenger got the worst part... he got a bloody nose, scabs all over his arms. once he got out of the car on his own, the VERY FIRST THING he did was to take a leak on the freeway's shoulder with dripping blood all over his body from the nose before the emts came over... i pondered the thought whether to chuckle at that sight or not because earlier before the accident, he couldn't HOLD that long to get to the restroom and warned us that he'd be pissing into an empty water bottle. we were all like, no please not in this car!!! and a few minutes later, he was a happy man having relieved himself as well as still breathing under his own power....

here's the snapshots taken from my driver's sidekick:

harry kim + david choe

just helping a struggling filmmaker here since mr. choe's one of my fave artists here...

harry kim has followed mr. choe's chaotic path for the past 6 years with his camcorder. now, he has come up with a great movie trailer about his life. it looks to be filled with raw emotions and strong passion about what he has to offer to art community:

i love the part where david punches his nose as he needs blood for his art pieces...
anyway, it seems like david is starting to settle down after his wake up call in a japanese prison.

wildcats!

taken at NAD conference in palm springs this past week:



if you want a large copy of this picture, just click on the picture!

it was nice to see many ol' faces out there as well as greet new friends, too. so that is what NAD is all about - workshops, politics, socializing, networking, college bowl, and pageant. now, NAD's next stop is new orleans, so imagine if all of the deafies would be all over bourbon street with their flying hands!
