What's Been Keeping Me Busy

Thanks guys for all the compliments on my photos! Really the best thing a photographer can have is people say you take great photos^_^ So now I'm gonna reveal a little more about what I've been working on these days -- Photoshop.



I PSed this photo I took on SF street using the techniques in this tutorial by Chuck Anderson, the guy behind No Pattern. I've always been a big fan of him, so it's really cool to learn his tricks.

What do you guys think? Love it or hate it?

So Tired of Waiting =.=

Have changed my ticket to Sydney to June 5th. I don't think my I-20 will arrive before my May 29th visa appointment, but let's see. If not, I'll just get my visa in Aug when I'm back from Syd. I'm so tired of waiting and not being able to set the schedule... The US embassy in SH is so busy, that the next available date is June 29th already. I won't wait a month just for a stupid visa interview so let me just deal with it later. Finally, Sydney I'm coming!

Beautiful B-school Photo Contest Winner!

I might not be the best of blogger, but I do shoot beautiful B-school photos, haha~ I uploaded the photos I took at Stanford to Accepted.com, and guess what, I won the first prize! Seems the result has been out for a while but I only got the news when I checked my email today. Almost missed my $200 amazon coupons, oops... This is the first time I ever get rewarded with money for the photos I take. Now I can tell my mom, maybe I can make a living just taking pictures^_^

The Unknown Schedule...

Updates since last post: I've left my work, and begun my long summer vacation. Everything is great, sleeping to noon, cook stuff for myself, play station & some korean tv series to kill time. Except for one thing: I haven't got my I-20 yet considering my visa appointment is only two weeks away...

I only found out last week that my English test score report never reached Anderson... and they only let me know by then...-.-b Then when I went to resend the report, the staff gave me "It needs to go thru a process so we can only send out next Thur" which is May 17th. And guess what, the score report is the reason why the UCLA graduate school hasn't let me fill out that intention to enroll form online and they wouldn't even process my I-20 without me filling it first!!! So far I still haven't got access to that form and thus, the date for me to receive my I-20 is still unknown... I will have to postpone my visa appointment to an unknown date in the future, and the same for my ticket to Sydney...:S I got really bad luck with score reports this year, what can I say...
