02/06/10: St Joseph Monastery, Aptos, CA. Spiders living here... I did not notice the spider web when I took the picture. I thought the light shining on the wooden frame is pretty cool. The reflection on the spider web is even better.

01/23/10:
It was sunny and bright.
Makes me want to bike.
Open the garage door
Then have to say uh-oh....
The bike still says "ride me"
I take the seat and be free
Little bit of sun and rain
Got to take some frame
These are the result
Not too bad, I doubt

10/07/09: Trying a moon picture. I took this using my point and shoot with flash. This is above the East Bay Hills from the Walmart parking lot in Milpitas, CA. I also cropped the image since I don't have enough zoom to remove the black sky and lamps in the parking lot.

04/23/09: I am scanning my old films and slides when I took as a kid. This was a self portrait. I can't guess my own age and I know I look younger than my age then. May be around 12?
Follow up: I think I got these shoes at 16.

02/04/09: I think my house attracts insects. I found a big bee in my house this morning hanging on the wall. I saw it on the sofa this evening. I took out a quarter and laid it by its side just to compare its size. It is not dead yet. It was moving but it was not too lively. After I took the picture, I took it out to the front and shake it to a bush. Bee free....
