Milena is a very good friend of me. We met in High School, and she is one of very few people I still see from the good all Buena Park High. Milena is a fellow peruvian, and moved here just about the same time, well maybe before me. An artist that denies it, she has so much talent and she lets no one see it. That day we had an awesome lunch at a Thai restaurant with Maricarmen and then she abandon us at the mall to go take care of some problems and we just had a good time pretending we were gonna buy something.  Funny thing, we wanted Thai food so I told them about this restaurant in Garden Grove but couldn’t remember the name. Milena grabbed her iPhone and Yelped Thai restaurant in Garden Grove.  Couldn’t remember any of the names she threw at me so we just went to the best one (by yelp.com) that was in the area… As we are getting close I see that the restaurant that Yelp had recommended is the restaurant I wanted to go to. The name is Jumpa Thai restaurant and is very good!

 Maricarmen and I found a ghost in my expresso.

A few weeks ago I had to take pictures for an assignment.  I did the assignment wrong I guess but never the less I liked the photos. I captured people laughing.  I think most of the time when people know they are getting their picture taken they smile. There is nothing wrong with smiling, yet is not genuine, its posed. Catching this natural laughs was pretty cool, I ask the different groups of people if I could take pictures first; I told them to ignore me, to forget I was there. I had to wait about 15 minutes until they started losing up, and eventually, they where back to normal, as if I was not even there. Here are some of them.

Here are some shots taken at school the first week with the new baby. Still trying to figure it out, then. Some people at school wanted to test out Canon vs. Nikon at very low light and see what was better. at the end the result are pretty similar, yet I still like the canon a little more.

This one was at almost no light! at 6400 ISO

So after a long time of being very close to buying my 5d Mark II I finally got it. I just want to say this is an awesome tool. I’ve been shooting with a Rebel XTi for last two and a half years and it did the trick, but now I’m ready for more. The 5D is just amazing, and these are some of the Photos taken with it on the very first week I got it. they are not great, I think I over did it with using the high ISO, but you cannot stop yourself when you have 3200 ISO and your pictures still look good. anyways. I just wish I could have it a year ago.

This was the very first picture with the 5D, my Dad.

Matt, coworker. with very, very low light.

First day out, Maricarmen was sick so we just went to the donut shop by the house

One of the first videos, the quality is ridiculous!
