Freedom!

Exams are over for me! Wrote my last one out of 10 this morning, just a little more than 12 hours ago! I'm going to enjoy a little me time, clean up my mess and should be taking some new shots as I bring my S3IS with me when I go out =).
Here's a few shots I took during the last day of class, 2008!

Making full use of the facilities provided to us to relax!

And this was the prize to the skilled player who would knock down the tower. A cup of cola + soy sauce. Sadly this game only happened a few times because the same players were losing and grew sick of the prize... literally

I know it's REALLY late to be posting these pictures but I thought these 3 were really nice considering I didn't use a tripod.

Sailing in the deep blue sea of my bathtub

Meet the HMCS Rice Rocket: a sailboat designed during my grade 12 to compete in the UBC Physics Olympic.
We were so focused on speed and style we left out the part about how to drop loonies on a predetermined space along the track.... (We were the fastest and lightest though!)

First and foremost

This is a compilation of photographs taken throughout the years. It started when my brother and I shared the purchase of a Canon Powershot A80 digital camera. As I took more and more pictures, I explored the versatility of this camera and began improving and focusing more on taking beautiful pictures: to keep for my own memories and to share with those around me.

I finally got the nerve to start a photoblog after following a local photographer's for ~2 years. (He's so local we are on the same campus!) I admire his skill and creativity in capturing some very local scenes in to astonishing photographs. Though I have not met him, he has inspired me to work towards becoming a more skilled photographer. Thanks to Sam Lin.
