Occupy

I know this is OLD news, and I don't plan on getting political here. At least, not over this. I went out to shoot Occupy San Diego with NBC after some of the protesters were maced. Man, am I bummed I missed out on the chance at those shots....

Even though the San Diego movement is nothing compared to what I'm used to seeing in the bay area, things like this make me wonder what it felt like to be part of a time when protests actually meant something. No wonder my parents were hippies....

Singing in the rain

I was taking some photos in Balboa Park today with my friend Ted. It's not common for it to rain in San Diego, so we figured we'd take advantage of the opportunity.

I came home with my hair soaking wet, and devoured a hot chocolate. Such a fun day! Thanks for coming out Ted!

50mm

I am one lucky girl! Chris decided to surprise me with a new camera lens I had been lusting after for work (insert any other bad excuse here). My first non-kit lens! I put it on and snapped some quick shots tonight. Here are the first five shots I took. I skipped editing for now because they look so cool, I've never used a high-blur lens before! WARNING: This is a dog-heavy post. I have no other models in my house, Allie was not in the mood...

I can't wait to see how this will work out on the job tomorrow.
