WestJet Street Party

Quinzy, originally uploaded by k4ren.

On Saturday afternoon, I happened upon the WestJet Street Party that was happening on Granville St. @ Robson that stretched for at least 3 blocks. There were a series of live bands performing on the main stage. Later that night was also the Earth Hour thing but oddly the street was not completely dark during those 60 minutes. .... so much for saving some electricity..

I only had my 5D with me because it was a sunny afternoon and I was planning on visiting Urban Outfitters. My "light" versatile pack is to bring the Canon 28mm and Leica 135mm lenses (the latter weighing like more than a pound). I don't have any zoom lenses :( so that's why I've got to bring at least two. From the distance I was standing, I really should have brought my Leica 90mm instead, and a 50mm instead of a 28mm... oh well :( I'll learn for next time. Lucky for me that there was that event going on so that I had the opportunity to practice some photography, manual focusing... but at the cost of deafening my ears... >.<

Also got stalked by this man with popcorn...

Cosplay! :P

doodling...

I decided to put the tablet to some use so I started sketching/shading in the online oekaki program, got tired .. and screencapped it into Photoshop to finish later (added color and the left eye!) The way I drew this is probably not the *supposed* way because here I worked from one corner in detail and outwards. I think the proper way to draw is to really draft out the overall picture before adding any details. The Multiply blending option was helpful here in allowing me to add color when it was originally only black & white before.

Who does this look like? (haha probably no one because I wasn't thinking about anyone)

On another note, Sketchbook Pro is a really good sketching/doodling program! (from Autodesk/Alias!)

Rabbit or Hare?

what's happening!? misuse and abuse of twitter! :( thank goodness for the segregation.

Blocking is the single most under-appreciated feature of online communication..

Mean while, I want to pet a rabbit... or sit on sunny warm grass.

I started reading Genesis 1

076 End of the day, originally uploaded by k4ren.

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 

The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. 

Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 

And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness. 

God called the light "day" and the darkness "night." And evening passed and morning came, marking the first day. 

Then God said, “Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.” 

And that is what happened. God made this space to separate the waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens. 

God called the space “sky.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the second day. 

Then God said, “Let the waters beneath the sky flow together into one place, so dry ground may appear.” And that is what happened. 

God called the dry ground “land” and the waters “seas.” And God saw that it was good."

omg no way!

So I took this photo at Ark (that funky clothing store on Main st. that's 1 or 2 blocks up from Broadway).

Its the Nikon FM2 in a 2D bronze necklace! <3

I was holding out at the time (Boxing Day) and decided not to impulse-buy like usual... and now I only have this photo to remember it by.
