The everyday lunch hour stress: doing all you want within the 1 hour time limit, it's always been a challenge. Whether, your a retired couple in an old Caddy, or going back to the job site in a Ram, there will ALWAYS be traffic.

long exposure at the famous Crack at Davenport Beach. just north of Santa Cruz of the Pacific Coast Highway. I set up as the warm light of sunset faded quickly behind a marine layer just offshore finding a nice composition nestled at the mouth of the eroded earth and sandstone known as the "crack" I was careful not to block any other photographers as this location is considered "prime real estate" for landscape photographers and there were already shooters lined up along the rocky canyon. There was a moment of hustle between us photographers as we carefully set up and clicked our shutters carefully timing the against the ebb and flow of the incoming and outgoing tide. I pulled out my Hoya ND 400 (big stopper) and decided to utilize this landscape as a medium for long exposure. Shooting long exposures like these is no easy feat and i definietely need practice but im content with the way this came out.
Special Thanks to fellow photographer Lorenzo Montezemolo (el-mo-foto here on the Flickr-universe)

Year end season, lots of human traffic in town area of Singapore. Tourists and locals alike. Experimental shot on auto settings of Sony RX100 4. No image editing. Notice the blue Christmas deco hanging from celing.
Inspired by a scene in American Hustle.

I have always been infatuated with city life, even when I was younger. I love urbanization. I love the hustle and bustle of the downtown streets, being surrounded by a sea of people, and watching all of the city lights at night. We search all our lives to answer the question, “Who Am I?” I personally am still on the search for the answer but I do have some parts of the answer down. I know for a fact that I am a city type of girl. “You can take the girl out of the city, but you can’t take the city out of the girl.” This quote describes what type of lifestyle I feel comfortable in and how I was raised.
Coincidentally, my project theme is city life. When I was thinking of a theme for my project, I dug down deep and thought about what defines me as me. City life came to my mind and I thought it was a perfect theme for me. In the city, a new opportunity arises every time you step out your front door. You can meet someone new or learn something you didn’t know before. Some people view the city as being too crowded or just a chaotic mess of havoc. I, on the other hand, view it as a wonderful mess of love and change. People change all the time, whether it is for the better or for the worse.
The titles of my pictures go along with a song by the band We The Kings, but I also added a few extra titles that aren’t lyrics to the song This Is Our Town by We The Kings. The way my photos are mounted is like a trip through the city, little does the audience know that it is a trip through a part of my life. You begin your journey with the old-fashioned house, which resembles that we all start from somewhere, our comfort zone. This leads you to a stop sign, which signifies that we sometimes have to take a step back and look at our life’s decisions and reminisce on past memories that brought us to the present. This leads you to the photo of the graffiti on a wall. Some people look at graffiti as vandalism and a lack of pride while I look at it as art. I believe graffiti brings character and creativity to a city and makes each city unique and special in its own way. Next you have an option of going to a stop light or going towards a dreary building. The stop light is green to show that life is always moving forward. The dreary building has a beautiful sunset background. This shows that at times we need to be optimistic and look at the glass as being half full.
Next on our journey is a bridge. The bridge stands for opportunity and the fact that the chance for opportunities is always rising. This leads you to a sign that signifies that the road is splitting. This signifies that we sometimes have to take a route that we didn’t predict would be in our future, but that’s the way life is taking us and sometimes it is better to just go with the flow. Now if you backtrack a little bit you come across a picture with a crosswalk and highway signs in the background. This resembles the fact that sometimes we need to slow down and enjoy life instead of always taking the fast lane. The picture of the black and white little town is actually the steelyard commons which show that we have to remember our past and never forget. The picture of the rapid on a bridge signifies that life is sometimes blurry but we have to stick with it and try our best and we will soon be overjoyed by the outcome of our hard efforts. The picture of the bridge with part of downtown in the background with a beautiful sunset lighting signifies life is beautiful and that we have to enjoy the little moments. The photo of the mass of metal resembles the fact that life can be confusing at times and we have to try our best to figure out how to solve the puzzle of life. The photo of the black and white tunnel shows that there is only one passageway through life and no side exits until you reach the end. The photo of the crowd of people resembles that we, the people, light up the city. No one will ever be alone. The photo of downtown at night with the wild brush at the bottom shows an overview of the city. The brush at the bottom resembles obstacles and once we get past those obstacles, we reach success. And success, in this case, is the city.

I really like how the city sign looks like it's floating. A little noisy but I like it just the same. It was an interesting evening and started raining on us about 1/2 way through. This turned to snow on our way home so maybe we'll have a white Christmas after all!
