Raiders' game 11.28.10

Some images before the game between Raiders and Miami Dolphins on November 28 2010. I wasn't there to chant for any team, since I barely knew of sports in general or football specifically! Since then I've been trying to understand sports better; apparently, there must be way so many reasons why people love sports. I try to learn and appreciate them a little bit more though I consider myself more of a mind person than activity person, I accepted - with pride - that I am somewhat horrible at playing any kinds of sports and never was so enthusiastic about P.E courses in school.
Though I was there mostly for the experience and opportunity to take photographs, it definitely felt great to be on the field for the first time, seeing the players and the event within close distance. I felt the energy, the crowd, team work were pretty impressive. The uniform, the grass, the stadium from this view were beautiful. The movements, the action were definitely amazing! Within an hour or less, I came from being a non-sport-supporter to thinking that I could be highly happy doing sport photography.

ONE PHOTO A DAY (cont 2)


Above: 03.28.2011 - After long weeks of pouring rain, the first blooms of Spring are now in sight and so beautiful.



Above: 03.29.2011 - Think whole grains! Only go for Cap'n Crunch...



Above: 03.31.2011 - Coffee - the abundant source of caffeine! It keeps me awake every morning and every afternoon now at work; it used to be necessary at late night when I was still enjoying my student life studying through the night after daytime outing - which is no longer the case...wow I still miss college thinking about that...Coffee makes my hands shake and my heart pound wildly, my mind not able to chase my fully energized body; and I am tired of needing it!!



Above: 4.1.2011 - Love your Reflection



Above: 4.2.2011 - The little one with a big tear drop; her Daddy called it 'crocodile tears'. Kids always cry before they go sleep because they get cranky or they still want to play. Adults do the opposite; they get cranky when waken up and they rather sleep than play :)



Above: 4.3.2011 - Coffee - from Wakening Substances to Pleasures - depending on how it is taken. It is simply to provide some caffeine boost, or if taken mindfully, it could be such a pleasure; and it's still the same cup of coffee.  I believe " life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it". So, coffee 'happens', but having to battle with the unpleasant side effects of caffeine to just stay awake Or taking it as a joy on an easy Sunday morning would be up to the drinker. While we can't control what happens, we're still in charge of our attitudes; so, make them positive! :D


Above 4.5.2011 - The Pho challenge's kitchen - the challenge not by the bowl size but by the taste (hint: doesn't taste so good to me)



Above: 4.6.2011 - This is no child's drawing!:)...Maria, Kate and I completed this drawing during class. We took turn to add things, and more things, anything, every time .

Above: 4.10.2011  - out to the beach to prepare for a night photoshoot with my team and few other people as model and helpers. It was definitely challenging but we had a good time working, learning, building fire, finding our way in the dark and battling with the cold salty air and crazy wind at the beach
