I drove up to Oakland for Andrea and Linh’s wedding, mostly because I wanted to drive back to LA along the California coast. This is a loooong drive! But I love doing it when I get the chance – and when I can get up early enough! I woke up at five am and made...

The Inauguration
I feel so fortunate that I was able to travel to Washington DC for Obama’s inauguration. It was quite an experience. As you can imagine, it was pretty freaking cold for a California girl like me. And the crowds were just unbelievable: massive and joyful, positive and excited. There was a lot of spontaneous cheering.
I...
Before the Inauguration: Washington DC
I walked around Washington DC on Monday, the day before the inauguration.
I saw this sign on a light pole; I didn’t really understand what it meant but it struck me as anti-Obama. ↓
Traffic was a mess – I was curious as to who would attempt to drive in DC the day before the inauguration. ↓

Before the Inauguration: Baltimore
I’m back from my trip to DC for Obama’s inauguration. It really was an experience! I was gone for five days and spent two nights in Baltimore and two nights in Washington DC.

Happy Holidays!
I went to the Mission Inn in Riverside with a friend to view their Festival of Lights. It was the perfect way to spend the day after Christmas.
Here’s wishing everyone a great new year!

I’m already planning which lenses I want to...
LA Marathon, Here I Come!
I signed up to run the LA Marathon, which takes place March 1 of next year. This is tangentally related to photography because, when I began training this month, my first thought was to carry my camera with me.
Now, even a camera as light and fun as the Nikon D40 is not so easy to...
The Need for Speed
I went to the Long Beach Grand Prix today. I’ve never been to a racing event before and didn’t know what to expect. I don’t even watch it on TV because, frankly, I don’t really get it. Cars driving fast? In a circle? That’s it?
Well, now I can say that...
