I didn’t get a chance to upload yesterday, but I did take my photo of the day. Here is @gnelle’s cat Mocha taking a nap on her desk. What a messy desk, and to find a cat sleeping there, weird.

After a much well needed nap today, I went to pick up @gnelle from work. I realized that I was kinda hungry. I didn’t feel like eating the same old same. So I went on a search for something different. I hadn’t been to the Manoa Shopping Center for a while so I figured "Why not?" Found this little shop between Longs and the manapua shop called Island Subs & Steaks. It said they sold Hamberger Steak, so that’s what I ordered. It’s really nice inside and looks very family run. The food was awesome. @gnelle ordered a Steak Plate, but she didn’t expect the brown gravy that it came with lol. All in all it was some good food lol

Day 040 – @Gnelle is home from China

And look what she brought back for me. A Mario hoodie that zips all the way up. You can’t see out the front of it but it’s still cool!

She also picked me up a pair of BAPE kicks, but I guess she trusted the sales guy way to much because she thought she was getting a pair of Size 10s. Instead she got a pair of 13s LOL They still cool though and I’m not going to wear them. I’ll display them in my apartment some how.

Day 041 – FHB International Auto Show

Rockin the hoodie @Gnelle brought back for me from China in front of the car I will own some day. That or a Vette or a ISF or a Camaro… You get the picture LOL

Day 042 – I have a fever

Yes. That is the trash can that I let @loganz puke in… today it’s in a bad situation too… load full of Galah… Ewwwww

(more after the fold) Continue reading

This counts because I took it at officially 12:04am today (03/26/09). I miss her! and well she misses me too lol. I haven’t hung out with her in a while and it was fun catching up. She let me spin for a little bit and well I sucked. I’m not used to tables yet. I should get a pair of cheap tables and learn to use them lol

Eggs, Potogee Sausage, and Rice with a side order of my Acid reflux meds… oh the life of me.

I gotta give a special birthday shout out to KaylaBabes. I went to her birthday party tonight at Hush. I must say though, first I been there and its kinda nice. I really like it there. I would describe it to be almost like the “White Room”  at Fashion 45. DJ Betty was in the Mix and DJ Peter Lau was setting his stuff up to finish the night. AGN was in full effect and always much love to them. If you get the chance you 21+ people, check out their regular party on Friday nights there.

K den I’m out and I’ll post pics tomorrow. Laterz!!

I couldn’t decide on what to upload today. Either the pics from last night at the V-Lounge or this sweet black 370Z I saw today. Well we can see who wins today lol

I didn’t even know they were selling these already, but this guy got one and it’s plated already. I looks really similar to the last model (350Z), but the new tail lights and the slightly redesigned front end make the car look even meaner. I love it seriously.

I must add though. If you haven’t heard about it, aside from the New Car Expo going on at the Convention Center this weekend there is a Ocean Expo going on at the Blaisedell too! Details at http://www.hawaiioceanexpo.com There’s going to be a poke contest so you know dat is going to be good brah!! go check it OUT!

So a friend of mine said I should blog my current running project. Project you ask? Well I decided to take on a project a while back that involves me taking a picture a day of something and posting it online. I am to do this everyday for 365 days (one year). When I started I was doing it just for myself, but my best friend @loganz was interested in doing it too. His roommates in Sacramento wanted in on it too. So now it’s a challenge to see who forgets first and doesn’t post anything. Of course I started before them so I’m ahead a few days.

Here are the ground rules to our contest:

• A photo must be taken that day and uploaded (unless it is physically impossible to do so).
• Self portraits don’t count.
• Each picture must have a description and title.

I think that’s it. It has been fun so far and I hope you enjoy it too.

Here are links to all of our photo galleries:

So here is my submission for yesterday (March 23, 2009).

I’ve been reading this series of books for some time now since the first one came out. However, for some reason I just can’t finish this last book. Maybe to many distractions or something. Maybe just no urge to do it anymore. It’s sad really :( 

Alright well I know that yesterdays post was a lil emo but I think I have come to the conclusion that I will save up to buy a new setup, what i don’t know yet. What has made me come to this conclusion is the fact that I had been reintroduced so to speak to my good ol’ Point and Shoot Canon SD450. Did some things with it and realized… I really love taking pictures with it. I didn’t have it for a while since I lent it to Gwynnelle cuz some guy dropped her SD900. So for Valentine’s Day I bought her a SD1100.

If you couldn’t tell, I like Canon cameras. LOL However the same can not be said about Video Cameras :) I like Sony as they have the picture clarity part down for video. I’m sure the Canon Cams are good but Sony been doing it longer :)

Well with that being said, how many people know about Lomography? or Lomography Photography? No? well here’s a bit of history…

In the early 1990s a couple of students discovered a small, enigmatic Russian camera, the Lomo Kompakt Automat, and created a new style of artistic experimental photography with their first unorthodox snapshot cavortings. The approach: taking as many photographs (Lomographs) as possible in the most impossible of situations possible and from the most unusual positions possible, and then having them developed as cheaply as possible. The result is a flood of authentic, colourful, crazy, off-the-wall, unfamiliar and often brilliant snapshots. These are mounted on panels to form a sea of thousands of Lomographs which regularly astonish viewers with their sheer colourfulness, diversity and power of expression. Ensuing major exhibitions in Moscow, New York, Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Havana, Zurich, Cologne, Madrid, Cairo, Tokyo and many other cities, where up to 100,000 Lomographs were shown at a time, established an international reputation for Lomography.

The reason why I mention it is that Gwynnelle order a few Fisheye versions for me and her before my camera got stolen. Truthfully, they are pretty sweet. I didn’t know what to expect since it’s a film camera and I haven’t shot film since like the late 90s (trying to make it sound like a long time ago cuz it was). The thing is the last film camera I had did have a lil brain in them (focus and some fancy redeye thing). These cameras have no focus, no electronics a side from the light that comes on to tell you the flash is ready LOL. So I was worried about how these would turn out. Well I have a lot of learning to do but here are the shots that managed to make it past the photo department at WalGreens. Apparently, he had a hard time doing them since we took a lot of night shots. You’ll see why….
