Introduction
I’ve have always been vaguely interested in photography. Not hard to imagine when your parents own a photo shop so you practically grow up around everything photography. But growing up, I didn’t like shooting pictures or being in pictures. I had this funny habit of never smiling whene my picture was taken.

Fifth Floor Restaurant Review
For Andrea’s Birthday, this was my dinner selection. This was our first time at Fifth Floor Restaurant, which is located inside Hotel Palomar in San Francisco, CA on the (what else) fifth floor.

Nikkor 50mm F/1.8D AF Part 1
After using the Nikkor 28-105mm F/3.5-5.6 as my primary lens for the longest time, I finally accepted the severe limitation of a 3.5-5.6 aperture lens. This was glaringly apparent when I went to Muir Woods with Andrea.
Almost every picture I shot (hand held), deeper in the woods, came out blurry as if I was trying [...]
