My baby cousin, Nup, just graduation from UC Berkeley this past semester. No, her real name isn't Nup. Her name is Sharon, Nup is just a nickname we've had for her ever since she was little(pun intended for those of you in the know). If there's anyone out there reading this who's hiring for an entry-level marketing/sales type position, hire my baby cousin. She's smarter than Burgess and me combined. =)
Where's Wal--er Nup? Finding Nup in a sea of graduates.
The venue conveniently had a secition specifically for people to take pictures and everyone rotated in and out as their graduates went up on stage. By this time, the sun was beating down on us pretty good.
Proud Family! Left to Right - Aunt Kit, Uncle Bun, Grandma, Nup, and Victor.
Victor and his girlfriend, Nai, anxiously waiting for Nup to walk out of the ceremony.
Shenanigans!
OK, totally unrelated to Graduation. But here's my future sister-in-law showcasing the super sexy 5D. Ya, that's right, a camera can be sexy! Photo courtesy of JT's soon-to-be-husband(Burgess).
Which kind of leads me to a couple of thoughts about new cameras. Some people have noticed my new camera(and lens) and seem impressed and automatically think I can take really fantastic pictures. A camera is a camera. Just having nice new camera alone doesn't make me a better photographer. A pro with a disposable camera will take pictures a hundred times better than pictures I can get out of the latest and greatest dSLR. I agonized over whether or not this was a wise purchase for me(just ask Myron). In the end, it was just something I wanted and something I had already budgeted for. I firmly believe that a photographer's best asset is his eye and his creativity. In both areas, I still have a lot to learn. But I do hope to somehow earn a living with photography, it something I love to do.
