travellin

i haven't updated in a while, but for record-keeping purposes, here are some highlights from the past 40 days:

1. kazi -- a good friend from the undergrad days -- visited me in boston.

back in 2006, we both visited boston together for what would be the first time for each of us. it won us over back then, and this visit was like the reunion.
  • i housed kazi and showed him around boston.
  • did a lot and had a good time.
  • kazi landed a summer internship w/ my employer, and he'll be conducted research similar to mine.





2. i flew to dc for work purposes, again. i also extended the trip into a personal trip:

  • visited my good friend, dan for a day:
  • stayed w/ my good friend, g francis for a few days
g francis and i randomly decided to experiment w/ light painting photography one friday night. it ended up being a blast. we learned how to take long exposures and shine light onto subjects in the dark, thereby taking a complete additive approach to the lighting aspect.


this experience has motivated me to try night photography more:



3. visited brown's 3-day open-house event in rhode island.

amazing school and campus. founded in 1764, it's officially "old school."


4. visited santa barbara, california for 5 days for a conference.
on the way to and from airport, i took some pics.
