Digging Deep in East Plano

Before I bombard this blog with lots and lots of film photos, I'd like to share some digital photos taken yesterday in the late afternoon just before the sun went down. This is one of my good friends, Julie, and we'd been wanting to go on a location scout and a photo shoot for a long time now. See? You can find decent places around Dallas too! It's all about getting up on my lazy butt and driving around until you find a decent place. We decided to go explore the historical downtown Plano yesterday (meaning one block of "historical" buildings") - not too shabby. 

All taken on the Nikon D90. 

Some Lifestyle Shoot of My Bedroom

Happy Friday! For a freelance photographer like myself, I don't really have weekends - meaning every day's kind of like a weekend to me. But make no mistake, I don't just sit around doing nothing. I've been trying to study, learn to edit better, read more, and all that jazz.

So S generously left me his 50mm f/1.4 lens before he left for Seattle. I tried to take advantage of that amazing depth of field the lens gives me...especially in the low light situation in my bedroom.

This is Greg, my best dinosaur friend! S handmade him for me last Christmas when I took a trip to Vancouver to visit my childhood friend.

Life is Sweeter With Sugarbox

I was first drawn to this place by its interior decor. With its all-white leather furnishings and clean and dark wooden walls and floor, the store at the first glance through the huge windows (major plus) exuded chic and elegance that stopped almost every girl (and boys, I'm sure) to take a closer look. Cute decor and macarons? Plus a variety of wine selections to go with the cake balls? It's a perfect place for some quality ladies' time. 

Sugarbox is located a t Shops at Legacy on Legacy Dr. & Dallas Tollway - Plano, TX.

Some Changes

So as I've moved back to Plano, TX from Austin about a month ago - I figured that the previous purpose for this blog would no longer be valid. Therefore, I decided to change this blog into somewhat of a restaurant/coffee shop review anywhere I go, and also an outlet for my photography. Fun stuff. Or I may make some more posts abut Gilmore Girls (for which I apologize in advance). Or I may post about my unemployment projects that I've been doing lately. Whatever they may be, I hope you find this blog helpful/useful/inspirational.

Thank you!
