Bull Moose (16)

     Recently I was reading an article on Theodore Roosevelt, when I noticed his Presidential self-portrait in which, he also leaned on a table while staring assertively at the viewer, so I thought it would be an interesting self-portrait, my expectations were meet. I suppose the strength of this image comes from a sense of confidence within me, that stands its ground and backs down to no one, a quality that I do believe I possess. Frontal formalities are obviously necessary in life, but truthful realism of a personality is vital as well. I like myself, despite all of my faults and I am proud to be me.

Tired....(15)

    Four days of work in a row, 23 hours in total spanning between 10 A.M. to 7:15 P.M. depending on the day. But, it was a pay week, so my motivation was high, but my energy is not anymore. Really, i'm just glad my only real worries are school based and easily solvable. Exhaustion teleports me into my bed, even if i'm not sleepy because it really is comfortable to just lay there without any more commitments for the day. My thoughts are rudimentary, what drink I would like with dinner, which of my DVRed programs I want to watch, what websites I want to search for humorous videos and if I just want to call it a day and go to sleep.

What Photography is to me (14)

     Ever since I was born and even before, my parents documented my life with photography. For this reason, I've always been photogenic and more than happy to have my picture, whether at an affair or during a trip. The camera has and always will be a staple of documenting my life. It is a neccessity whenever I go to an event, no just to be like everyone else, but to have physical memories I look back on years later. I love photography and camera; and it always be part of my existence.

Onward to Tomorrow (14)

     So I decided to photograph myself before going out to the New York International Auto Show, last weekend. As the Auto show is one of the biggest events in New York and I haven't been spending much time with my dad as I'm normally busy with both College and work, I was really excited to get the chance to go with him to New York City. I've always been an individual, who shows his passion, so striking an assertive forward pose isn't really that odd for me. To me I feel you lose part of yourself, when your favorite things no longer bring joy to your life.

Cruising (13)

     Went to the New York International Auto Show today, I had alot of fun, saw plenty of different cars from many companies like Toyota and BMW, I also acquire a ton of varied free items ranging from a Mazda aluminum water bottle to a Toyota USB drive. Undoubtably, my favorite part of the Auto show is definitely getting behind the wheel of the many cars and feeling what they are like, Cameros for example are ironically very crammed. So of course one of the first car I wanted to sit in was a Ford Mustang, which is surprisingly only a little bit more expensive than a Toyota Camry. I've been a fan of cars since riding in my Grandpa's 1989 Lincoln Continental as a kid, so in a way Cars influence who I am as a person.

Dressed for a greater cause10)

     Today, I went to the dedication of a new Torah of the Chabad of Orange County. It was a pretty fun event, joyous occasion, lots of people and of course a ton of food, you can't have any Jewish occasion without food. As this was a formal affair, I was wearing my Polo sweater and a DKNY dress shirt, but as it was outside I kept on my Polo vintage varsity letterman jacket, finely got the opportunity to wear it in one of my photos. I had a good time, wish there were some finger sandwichs, but you can not always get what you want.  

Movie Night (9)

     I love almost all kinds of Movies and television in general. Ever since I could remember, my dad's taken me to see films as well as show me some of yester year. As well, I spent alot of school and summer afternoons watching all sorts of tv shows. Though I was born in 1992, right after the Cold War ended, I really like Cold War action and drama films as I feel they both embody the era, they were made in and show the hopes as well as the fears of the times. I also love watching Japanese anime especially ones giant robots because I love the fantasy of Science and what can be. So whenever I get the chance, I pop in one of my favorites and watch it at night laying on the couch with a blanket on, that is an awesome way to watch a film.
