self portrait – [p.52] Week 3

brandontsai — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 08:50:22 +0000

I was sick for most of the week so didn’t really get a chance go outside to shoot any photos. This shot was sort of a hit or miss. I just aimed my camera at the mirror and shot away hoping to catch one that focused on my eyes. Luckily there was one that turned out pretty well I decided to do something a little more creative and outlined my daily life in a pie chart. I know…my life is pretty boring most of the time…yay for working life!

eggsecution – [p.52] Week 2

^ (sorry little guy)

Week two of my project 52! I’m actually doing this project with a couple of friends. The theme this week was supposed to be macro shots but since I don’t have a macro lens, I resorted to a close up of something. These eggs were getting super old so I decided to have some fun with them

coffee marks – [p.52] Week 1

brandontsai — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 05:43:10 +0000

I was about to chuck my empty coffee cup after finishing my mint mojito iced coffee from Philz when I looked inside the cup and saw an interesting swirl of mint leaves and foam. Wish I had more time nowadays to hang out in coffee shops and read/do homework like I did back in college.

Update: I decided to do a photo project this year! Project 52 – at least one picture a week for 52 weeks. This will be my first post (is that cheating? oh well). Some of you know that I attempted a project 365 in 2010 but failed miserably. Hopefully this will turn out better.

Twin Peaks New Years Eve

brandontsai — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 18:29:17 +0000

Went to Twin Peaks in San Francisco this past weekend. Once we climbed to the top of the hill, we were treated with an amazing view of the city. I also shot some more pictures of Justin and Nariko (my photography “guinea pigs” haha, I take so many pictures of them) and experimented a little with tilt shifting.

The above photo was my favorite for the day and possibly one of my favorites of all time.

Awesome view of the city.

Last Sunset 2011

San Francisco sunset at Twin Peaks

2011 was probably the fastest and most uneventful year of my life. A couple highlights included getting an internship in the Spring and getting a full time job in the Fall. Here is to 2012 and hoping it’ll be better…

Ferry Building San Francisco – Night

brandontsai — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 02:07:35 +0000

Experimented with some night photography back by the Ferry Building in the evening. Still need to work on properly exposing during the evening. These ones turned out well though.

Check out the Day shots

The trees look like they have eyes

Ferry Building San Francisco – Day

brandontsai — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 01:58:34 +0000

Met up with Justin and Nariko in San Francisco on Saturday. Sorta turned into a mini unplanned photo shoot. When I got home and uploaded the pictures onto my computer, i realized that most of the pictures were of either Nariko, Justin, or both. They should totally pay me for this . just kidding. During the day we went to the Farmers Market and pier.

Check out the night pictures.

These are taken on the pier by the Ferry Building.
