STi ver. 3.0

Inhar — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 03:02:32 +0000

The aftermath of the 2010 snowpocalypse is still hitting everyone pretty hard. The piles of snow are everywhere with no hope of it melting anytime soon. Also, my sessions are being canceled because of it. So it was nice to finally get out and take some pictures, even if it was just of my brother’s car. He did another upgrade to his car so he needed some new pictures. Unfortunately, we were denied some of the locations we hit up due to the snow so we went back to bunnyman bridge and took some pictures.

30!

3o years ago at 11:11 pm I was born onto this great earth. Where does the time go? I have no idea. Well, I’m looking forward to another great decade of surprises.

Over the weekend I got to celebrate with some of my best friends on a party bus. I had a blast and couldn’t have asked for anything more. Here is just a glimpse of the night (taken with the canon s90).

The Big Dig Out

Inhar — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 03:09:59 +0000

The big dig out…What a mess and sadly there’s more to come. At first the snow was a fun and exciting thought but now it’s becoming more of a nuisance. I think we got close to 30 inches of snow. I had my brother(who is 6’2) step in the snow to gauge it and it came up to his knees. I’m so tired and sore from all the shoveling(though the pictures don’t show it but I did shovel…lol!) and it’s a mess driving around because people don’t understand that you can’t be driving 50mph and then slam on the brakes. I’m just glad that a plow finally came through so I could get out. I think I would have gone cabin fever crazy. Hopefully the new storm system coming up doesn’t do as much damage as they are predicting, another 10-2o inches. All this snow will take forever to melt and it will be one hot mess. Let’s hope that spring comes soon.

Snowpocalypse 2010

Inhar — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 17:57:32 +0000

Well, looks like the weather people were right again. Who would have ever thought that this much snow would really fall this weekend. As of this morning, 18 inches had already fallen to the ground and it hasn’t stopped yet. We got up and started shoveling away but only to see the driveway covered again within an hour. Here are a few pictures I took of my family in the snow. The poor dog who is going to be 14 years old next month was struggling to find a spot to go to the bathroom. Looks like we’re really snowed in this weekend. Hopefully, I’ll be able to venture out in a few hours to take some more pictures.

Here are some of my favorite images of 2009. It was hard to choose from but I narrowed them down to these:

Happy 2010! The New Decade…

Inhar — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 23:08:13 +0000

2009 was an awesome year filled with great people, laughs, and memories so I can hardly wait for the new faces of 2010. Thanks for all your support last year and I’m looking forward to all the exciting events in the upcoming year. Have a very Happy New Year and let’s start the new decade with a bang!

Canon s90

Inhar — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 06:50:33 +0000

I remember when I first got the canon s40 at the beginning of 2002. I LOVED IT!! I took that camera with me everywhere even though it was super bulky. I totally abused my camera with numerous drops to the ground that eventually the camera didn’t function properly on the dial settings. Well, after a good long 3 years, the camera died on me. At the time there was the canon s70 available but I opted not to get it.

So after years of rumors of the s90 being released, Canon released this baby this past August. After months of debating whether to get the s90, canon G11, sigma dp2, or ricoh gr….I went out and got the canon s90. I took it for a test drive over the weekend and was pleased with the results. Granted it’s not my 5d mark II but it’s a nice(almost dslr like) alternative when I go out with friends. I love how canon decided to make the s90 less bulky than its predecessors, it can actually fit in your pocket without making you look like a fool.

f/2.0 @ 1/20 ISO- 640

f/3.5 @ 1/3 ISO- 640

f/2.0 @ 1/10 ISO- 1600. This was in a bar so it was fairly dark but at ISO 1600, it came out nice.

Maple Avenue

Inhar — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 00:10:28 +0000

I stopped by this awesome restaurant the other day and I totally recommend it to everyone. The restaurant is called Maple Avenue and is located on Maple Avenue in Vienna. I know Tim through a friend and from flag football, who is the owner and chef of this place. He is totally skilled in the kitchen like he is on the football field. He will not disappoint your palettes and stomach. From the appetizers to the desserts, there are so many options you want to try your brain will go crazy. I settled for the special of the night, the Bison burger, which was quite tasty. Though I was full, I had to get the mochi delight-strawberry with chocolate ice cream with dark chocolate chips. I will definitely go back for some more good eats and you should too!

The University of Virginia emailed today informing me that they tore down my first year dorm so they can rebuild a more state of the art building. I think every first year needs to experience the extremely hot rooms with the only air flowing from the fan stuck in the window. At the time it was awful but looking back, it was definitely an experience.

There were some great memories in that dorm with some great friends. Granted it was always a hike up to this place and definitely not a biker friendly dorm but it was the life of the first year at UVA. Most days I would have to get off my bike and walk it up because I couldn’t make it up the hill…hahaha. It’s sad to see it go but I guess all good things must come to an end. Here are the pictures UVA sent me and asked if I wanted to pay $200 for a brick from the demolition.

Maui || Travel

Inhar — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 05:10:57 +0000

The last island we hit was Maui and it was FANTASTIC! As soon as we arrived on Thursday morning, we grabbed some eats at Cafe Kihei, checked into our condo, and then went to the ziplines. The zipline was pretty exhilerating, 750ft long going 40mph…it was insane. The instructors “prepared” us for the big zipline by putting us through baby ziplines but they were nothing compared to the grand finale. The following day we drove all the way around Hana Highway, which we were on for about 10 hours. That was totally awesome too. On Saturday, we chilled at the beach and then went to an authentic Hawaiian Luau that had the traditional Hawaiian foods and hula dancers. On our last full day in Maui, we went snorkeling with sea turtles and then went on an ATV safari. We tried to go see the sunrise at Haleakala Crater but because of the tropical storm, all we saw at 10,023ft were clouds. It was miserable. I guess I’ll hit it up the next time I’m on the islands.
