Matthew Zhu, Day 2:



(no, that's not MY baby... it's my cousin's baby. I will have one of my own later :P)

Ballona Wetlands

Today I went on a workshop with Steven Katzman and his sponsors to the Ballona Wetlands for a shoot. Here are some of my photos! :D

My New Fish Tank!

About a week ago, I purchased a new fish tank! Today, I decided to take some pics of my fish:



This is a red eyed tetra. I have 3 of them. They like to just stare at you :P


I have 3 of these "cloud fish". They're supposedly albino but they look yellow.


This is a Blue Tetra. I have 3 of these as well. You can't tell from this pic but their scales reflect blue light back at you.


Here is my "Tequila Sunrise". I have 2 of these and they're always swimming together. I love the colors on their tails.


Here is one of my favorite. I'm not too sure what it's called but somewhere in the name is 'rainbow'. They're really shiny and colorful.


The biggest fish in the tank would be this, my Angel fish. He rules the tank.

Angeles Crest

So Jeff, Tony, and I decided to go on a cruise today up Angeles Crest mountain. It was a pretty nice drive. I've never been up here before so this was all new to me. Unfortunately it was overcast and was kinda gloomy. At some parts visibility was about 20 feet. Here are some pics:


Inside view of me "chasing" Jeff.


Another angle of the cruise up the mountain.


On the way up, we stopped at a turnout to take a break.


This is our destination. A small restaurant similar to Denny's.


According to Jeff, this was considered to be super slow. Usually it's packed.


Check out that fog. It was fun but also scary driving through that.

Santa Monica Beach

So today I went down to Santa Monica to do an assignment for class. Had to take 10 "appealing" pictures of Pico Blvd. After finishing the assignment, I decided to head down to the beach to take some shots. I'm glad I did:

What a beautiful day

It's good to have some rain after a long hot summer. The clouds today here in LA was simply amazing.

New Blog

Alrighty! Finally I've created an account on this site for my personal blogs. Actually I'm probably going to be using this site mainly for story telling with my photos. Check back often for new updates. In the meantime, gotta figure out how to make my blog page look a bit better. Cya around!
