  • Top 200 Photos: #184

    Today’s entry in the Top 200 photos is photo #184: This photo was taken when I was taking one photo a day, but before I’d heard of the 365 project. So sometimes I’d be the subject and sometimes it would be squirrels, inanimate objects, or insects. I was going for the look and feel of…

    Today’s Top 200 Photos. photo #186: Sometimes when I was at functions with Danielle’s family (especially before Dina and Daniel started dating (others, not each other)), I’d get bored because everyone was speaking all Vietnamese, so I’d just grab my camera and wander around taking candid shots.

  • Top 200 Photos: #187

    Today’s Top 200 Photo. photo #187: What I love about this photo is that it captures two things that were key to the Cornell experience – passing out quarter cards (known as carding) and attending a Capella performances.

    Here’s the latest Top 200 Photos entry. photo #190 is: This is from my 365 project where I had to take one self-portrait a day. In my quest to think of creative subject matter, I went with modern versions of scenes from the Bible. Here I am Adam, eating the fruit that Eve gave me.…

  • Top 200 Photos: #195

    No #196 because it was occupied by a photo I already featured. I didn’t capture all the top 200 photos on the first day, so there is some movement in the photo rankings. Starting with this one, I decided to capture 20 at a time to minimize the issues. photo #195: This photo was taken…
