Arthur Nakane the 1-man Band

After shooting overhead the 110 freeway and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, I cruised over the Little Tokyo for dinner. Seeing that the Kula got a long waiting list, I explored the Japanese Village for other options.

LADWP

Who would have thought the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, located near the Disney Concert Hall, would have such photogenic spot?

鮪鮨

Since I bought the Fujifilm X-Pro1, I haven't got the time to shoot extensively with it. Instead of shopping on Black Friday, I spent the evening testing out the new camera.

Chasing Butterfly... Again

My photographic obsession over butterflies continues in L.A. Arboretum. Despite the rather warm fall season, there were quite a few butterflies near the entrance. Unlike the last few times, these butterflies were extremely difficult to have their beauty captured as they wouldn't stay still, until this one became cooperative enough.

Meyberg Waterfall

In my honest opinion, the Meyberg Waterfall is generally overrated. They call it a waterfall, but it is far smaller than a waterfall one would expect. Nonetheless, it is one of the favourite photography spots in the L.A. Arboretum because it is a miniature version of any spectacular, famous waterfall, without the crazy fees and crowdedness.

Clairmont Farms

To conclude my annual trip to San Francisco and Bay Area, I leisurely took the longer route back to Los Angeles.

Pacifica

Just 20 minutes away from the ever cloudy South San Francisco, Pacifica offers clear sky and warmth that are most welcomed for a Southern Californian like me. Hiking along the coast in Pacifica is especially refreshing for my getaway break. In fact, the scenery here reminds me of Big Sur. 

Muir Woods

Upon learning that Muir Woods National Monument was only 30 minutes from San Francisco, we took a morning hike along the main trail.

一間值得一去的茶餐廳

對於香港的茶餐廳，我擁有一種情有獨鍾的感覺。

Kodak discontinues E100VS

With the rapid advancement of digital photography, films are also rapidly declining in sales and usage. Although I am not surprised by the discontinuation, I am shocked to learn that Kodak discontinues all of their E6 production, including the E100VS -- the direct competitor of Fujifilm Velvia. Luckily I put 5 rolls of VS to good uses the last few months, and the VS is definitely an amazing film. I have not gotten a chance to try the other E6's but I will attempt to stock up as many rolls as possible. To honor the VS, I will run a series of photographs shot with the VS on my photography page.
