this is old and I forgot to post it earlier.

arlington theater 5.16.09

since the fire, "thank you firefighters" signs have been common around santa barbara. i especially liked this one.

mr postman 5.16.09

i saw this postman sitting in his truck waiting for the pickup time for the mail and i just thought it was so funny!

kite flying 5.9.09

these photos make me really miss my photoshop. with a little color editing, these would be much better













i am really pleased with how this one came out.

smoke 5.6.09

i'm not particularly proud of this photograpth. i wish i had actually gone outside and taken pictures of this. there was a huge fire in santa barbara this week and this was taken on the second day from inside my room. there was this crazy smoke cloud covering the city and giving everything this eerie red glow. if i have time, i want to take some pictures of the ash that is everywhere.

i don't really know why, but i am really fond of this picture.

sunken gardens at the courthouse 2.9.09

i was lying under this tree and i was trying to take a picture of this bird perched on the branch, but then it took off. this was the result.


i couldn't quite get the focus right on the bee, but i liked these anyway.

the bird and the bee 2.7.09

tigo 2.1.09

tigo (santiago) is the son of ajna, a post doc in my lab. this picture was taken at his 2nd birthday party right after he took a too-big bite from a cupcake covered with pink sprinkles
