Creativity

I used to be into digital painting with a Wacom Tablet and I enjoyed it, a lot. I haven’t painted anything in almost five years though. Reason being is that my eyes are tired at the end of the day from staring at a monitor. That and I don’t want to spend my whole life INSIDE. So, I’m going to take up photography as a hobby. I’ve always liked photography. I took a photography class in High School that I hated and almost failed (gave up trying to get time in the overcrowded dark room). The class was horrible, but I discovered how much fun photography was taking black and white shots with my dad’s old camera.

Sudi says it’s never too early for a birthday present, so my Canon S2 IS is in the mail. It’s a 5-megapixel digital camera with 12X optical zoom. I should be able to take 300+ photos at the highest resolution/quality (small posters) with a 1 GB memory card. It can record 640×480 VGA video with stereo sound at 30fps which is fun too.

Some things I want to capture:

• Little Suzie
• Dolphins (I’ve seen them in La Jolla a couple times)
• Seals in La Jolla (here’s a baby seal shot with my old camera)
• Sail boats off of Point Loma
• Birds (many types of birds in San Diego… Mission Bay)
• The Cross on Mount Helix (from our balcony, with that 12X zoom)
• Beach and sunset shots in La Jolla and Del Mar
• Maybe some Ferarris in La Jolla too

I’ll setup sudste.com photo gallery sometime soon.
