More Hannah photos
We didn’t watch NDP on the TV – Hannah wanted her dinner. So I occupied myself taking more pictures – but this time with the Nikon 50mm f1.8D lens. This is the cheapest lens in Nikon’s line up, but is
Hannah on ND
The weather looked better on National Day, so we planned to head to Punggol Park to take some family photographs. We had everything nailed down pat – timing, equipment and baby things to bring along. Unfortunately, the most important subject
San Francisco Videos – Palace of Fine Arts
The Palace of Fine Arts is one of the iconic spots in San Francisco, even if it’s less well-known or visited than say the Golden Gate Bridge. The dome, adjacent lagoon and park has been used as a backdrop in

Ore wa, kimi no tame ni koso shini ni iku – Part 2
Continued from the previous post. On the upside, For those We Love touches on a theme we don’t see often in Western-made films. I certainly don’t think the American veterans will remember the Kamikaze units with fondness. The whitewashing and
