One Night in Zürich

I've had about ten layovers in Zürich over the last 15 years. I never had the opportunity or time to stay. Finally, I got a chance to visit the city. By train, Zürich is just under 3 hours away from Geneva, Switzerland. My girlfriend, Fabiola and I arrived fairly early, so we had plenty of time to check into our hotel and relax for a little while. After catching the tram back to the Bahnhofstrasse, we had lunch @ Cafe Sprüngli. Tasty :) Then, Fabi decided to get her hair done while I went off to go shooting. The light was very harsh, so I didn't take many photos except for inside the train station. Afterwards, we met up with our friend, Franka for drinks and dinner. City Beach, anyone? Franka, was kind enough to show us around the city and a few of the local sites. I took a few night shots that were to my liking.

Before we left, we had the pleasure of eating at a great restaurant called Bianchi's! YUM! I highly recommend it.

Zürich was such a magnificent place! I will definitely return. Though there is so much more to discover, I am happy that I was able to leave Zürich with a few images that pleased me.

2 Days In The Valley - Yosemite

I just got back from Yosemite! I had a great time shooting & hanging out with my buddy Minh. We had another friend that was supposed to come as well, but unfortunately he could not make it. He was missed. This is the first time I've ever gone to Yosemite solely for the purposes of shooting, and I now understand why some photographers spend a lifetime shooting there. As seasons change, there is always something different. Having said that, there were only a few images that I really liked during the editing process. Perhaps I have to step back for a while and revisit the images later on. Anyway, here are a few images from the shoot.

Night on the Embarcadero

Earlier this week, my friend Minh & I set out to get some photographs of San Francisco by night. We shot near the Golden Gate bridge, and on Embarcadero. Though I had a few issues with one of my lenses earlier in the evening near Fort Point, my shots along the Embarcadero near the Bay Bridge and Pier 14 came out quite nice! We shot until 2am, and enjoyed the shoot so much that we went back out in time to catch the sunrise. We only managed to get 3 hours sleep, but its a small price to pay for a good time.
