Waaaaaaah

Cousin's naptime

She didn't want to be put down for her nap! But if she doesn't nap...then she'll fall asleep during dinner.

Hehe, Hyobin's hair looks like it ate a can of Aquanet.

Cellar 360
San Francisco

I can't decide which I like better. I used different settings on my camera, but the first one is how it really looks with the naked eye.

Evil Twin Sisters go to Golden Gate Bridge

View from Cam's apt
September 2007

This is why I need a tripod! And it's always the left side that gets messed up. I think I'm going to keep visiting her until I get this shot right! But at least 2/3 of the picture looks pretty nice. :)

Royce

Royce Hall

When is Royce ever this empty?! Hehe, during Orientation it is!
I am definitely taking some wedding/engagement photos here, I don't care if my future hubby isn't an LA alum, or god forbid, is a Trojan!

Bar Shot

410 Boyd
Little Tokyo

They usually close at 11pm but the bartender was awesome enough to keep the place open for us, we ended up staying pretty late!

Goodbye LA!

The best chik naeng myun is from Shin Jung on 6th and Kenmore! I've had it at other places and they just don't compare.

New Toy

Cousin
Cousin's house
August 2007

I love how kids don't need fancy toys to entertain themselves. They are perfectly happy playing with things like colanders...and canes. :P I've also seen staircases providing hours upon hours of entertainment...my cousins will spend the entire afternoon plodding up and down (esp if they've just discovered the world of walking).

My Grandma is Cool

Grandma
Jade BBQ restaurant

Hehe, we were laughing so hard when she did this!

Perched on the Sill

Ann and I had just gotten back from dinner when we saw this:

Then she had a great idea: "Why don't you take pics from the other side of the window?"

Butterfly

I've taken more butterfly pictures this summer than I have my whole life!

Korean Independence Day
August 2007
Guest photoist: work colleague

Look I am almost as tall as evil twin sister! Since I have been eating/cooking the food and speaking the language (arsenal limited to a few phrases that I recycle over and over), she thought I should wear the clothes. Also we have been going around and telling ppl that I'm half Korean just to throw people off. There's a reason why they call us the evil twin sisters.

Cloudbursts

I must be an indecisive person. Which one is better?

Clouds
Dockweiler Beach
August 2007

By the way, going to the beach was such a nice way to end the work week, esp since I was there for work. :)

Butterfly

Vote for your favorite!

Butterfly fly by floor


Butterfly fly by car


Butterfly fly by garage


Butterfly front side


Butterfly close up

All pictures were taken outside my house right after I washed Hyobin's car. It seemed like the butterfly was playing with us! Anyhoo, it is FREAKING hard to take a picture of a butterfly in flight. Going close up was much easier. Click on the picture for better looks!

So let me know which one you like the best!

CUTENESS

Omg can it get any cuter than this? That's what I say everytime I photograph her. Too bad the photo came out blurry, I was in a rush!

I love taking pictures of my cousins, especially when they aren't paying attention. Which picture do you like more? The second one is so comical but I love her eyelashes/hair in the first photo! Don't ask me why the lighting is so different, I've no idea. :P

I like the colors in this photo! The only song I that I really liked from them was when they did a cover of The Cure's "Pictures of You." Nevertheless we kept going to their shows. Hehe remember those days, Jenta?
