york and i are spending the month of may in taiwan, attending a couple of weddings. it's been raining quite a bit which makes photo-taking a challenge, but the rain has kept the weather mild, not too hot. [phew!]

hopefully in the next few weeks, we'll get to take a trip someplace beautiful and i'll have more photos to share. :)

as i mentioned here, in march, i took a trip to socal to shoot my brother alan's engagement.

the weather did not cooperate that day—it rained ALL DAY. and this being my first engagement/portrait shoot ever, i was excited, but totally stressed about it.

photo: sunset x2 [film, kodak portra 400, pentax k1000]

i must not have cranked the film advance lever far enough and somehow blended two exposures together.

i don't care what anyone thinks. i love making mistakes with film.

waiting for sunset

lately i've been obsessed with sunsets. perhaps because i find them so difficult to shoot! the light is tricky—it's changing fast and i'm still not familiar enough with my camera. i find myself leaving the house kinda early and just sitting around waiting for it to happen. it's nice to live by the water, but sometimes these sunset walks can be so cold and windy! i often come home with my nose red and running. i believe york thinks i've lost it. ;p

some old photos from a few months back. learning photography is actually quite an enjoyable process. seeing the slight improvement with every roll of film. being motivated to go out and find photo ops. if you're gonna go through the motions anyway, why not make it more interesting with nice photos? well, semi-nice. [the colors are wonky because i didn't use a light meter i think]
