I decided to do a quick experiment using my Canon Powershot SD880 camera. I documented my flight from Burbank to Oakland this past Sunday night. I know its an everyday thing now since its been part of society since the early 20th century but its just crazy covering 350 miles in just an hour. The convenience of that versus driving a car for 5.5-6 hours between the Bay and LA.
Flight—its simply an amazing thing.
Here is the set that I compiled.

Sweet. Two of my photos got selected to be shown at Photomonth 2008 in London.
photomonth 08 the east london photography festival is the largest photography festival in the UK with over 100 exhibitions and events taking place in more than 60 galleries and spaces and featuring up to 500 photographers. This year there is a photofair in Spitalfields Traders Market and the photo-open and the photomonth seminar are at the Dray Walk Gallery, Old Truman Brewery. Tom Hunter gives the photomonth lecture and the portfolio reviews take place at the Whitechapel. The photomonth workshops will be found at London Metropolitan University and shoot experience conduct a photographic treasure hunt around Spitalfields. photomonth 08 is also linking with Chobi Mela V in Dhaka Bangladesh.
This year, Photomonth has invited the Flickr community under the theme “freedom”. The end result was an open call to the Flickr community to enter their photos to the Freedom 2008 group.
Anyways, here are the ones that were selected:
Photos from the group will be on display at the Dray Walk Gallery (part of The Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane in London) between October 29th and November 9th[1]. Please do let me know if you happen to see them. Maybe even try to take a photo with it? haha. Awesome.

After a couple of weeks in beta, Flickr’s newly redesigned homepage hits live. I like it. I have gotten used to the new stuff at least, and it proves to be successful in giving more info as well as finding things easier.

Mr. Hyphen 2008, originally uploaded by stechico.
I had the opportunity to shoot last night’s Mr. Hyphen 2008, a signature event by Hyphen Magazine.
Back by popular demand, Hyphen and the Oakland Asian Cultural Center (OACC) present the 3rd annual Mr. Hyphen competition on October 4, 2008, celebrating the men of the Asian American community. Each year, Hyphen and OACC celebrate Asian American men who devote themselves to worthy community causes. While structured like a pageant with rounds of talent, fashion and Q&A, Mr. Hyphen turns stereotypes on their heads in front of a sold-out crowd. Striking a blow for equal-opportunity all-in-good-fun ogling, Mr. Hyphen is an energy-filled evening of fun and charity. Rounds will be decided alternately by an audience vote and by an illustrious panel of judges. The man who is crowned Mr. Hyphen wins a $1000 cash donation to his nonprofit organization.
Hosted by writer/performer: Samantha Chanse
Congratulations to all of the participants, especially to Runner-up Maurice Seaty and Mr. Hyphen 2008 himself, Aristotle Garcia (pictured above respectively). Special thanks go to Flickrite/Vaindeer/Hyphen Magazine’s Lanlian for giving me the opportunity to check it out and photograph. It was both entertaining and educational. Good times.
