Johnny was in town! He didn’t have any plans, and happened to have his 5D MARK III+40mm STM (Johnny’s a baller now, serving our country and all). So, naturally, we spent the afternoon on a good old photo walk.
It’s been a while since I went on one of these so I didn’t really get anything special. I did take one shot that I think is a keeper for my street photography folder (thanks Sam P. for the backpack man crit):
Went to St. Charles, IL last weekend to shoot Bernice and AJ’s engagement photos. We had a blast, and they were complete naturals at posing! Thanks for being awesome, guys.
I didn’t have a chance to have my graduation photos “professionally” taken for me so I stole my cap and gown after graduation and took some self-portraits back at home. Lucky for me, the rental place didn’t charge a late fee upon return. Also, why the hell didn’t we get to keep our caps and gowns?
My nieces were stand-ins so I could get the lighting right.
I had my mom do the shooting since I didn’t wanna have to bother going back and forth with a tripod. Autofocus all points spray and pray. Not bad for her first time.
I look tired. :-/
Here’s a couple of photos from my last stint in Champaign this spring, from hanging out around the house… to being on a boom lift… to nothing much at all really. I kinda shied away from using my DSLR most of the spring in lieu of using my phone as a camera for on-the-spot candids (if you’re Facebook friends with me, check out “iPhone4 days”). Looking back i forget how much quality there is in 5 lbs of aluminum alloy and glass. If only it were pocket size.
Here’s some from back in December of my friends Cindy and Donny and I on our semi-monthly dinner outing at a hotpot place in Chinatown.
