Blinks: Capilano Rainforest
I just realized how spoiled we are with Instagram when I wanted to do some post-processing on this photo sans tilt-shift-focus and Inkwell filter. A similar shot was actually posted on Instagram taken with the iPhone, but this one was taken with my good old fashioned Nikon D90. This was my first time to visit [...]
Blinks: Florence – The Birthplace of Rebirth
A couple of weeks ago I was having a discussion with my coworker about living in a different time. We both agreed that we’d rather not live during any other time than now, when plumbing has been mastered and taking a bath is not a rarity nor a luxury (well, for the most part). However, [...]
Blinks: Spanish Alley
As I organize and back up millions and millions of pictures, it’s allowed me to catch up on posting on Blinks, which I have not done in so long since last week. I freaked out when I found that my back-up of our Spain pictures were corrupted. I thought, that’s okay, I have burnt them [...]
Blinks: Fori Imperiali
It’s taken me 2 weeks to organize my Italy pictures. And now I’m almost done. I have so much yet so far, I’ve only posted one picture of Italy on Blinks. Tsk tsk tsk. Shame on me. So, here’s one, of Fori Imperiali, the Imperial Forums of ancient Rome, the center of the Roman Republic. [...]
Blinks: Banka
Once in a while, I like to take somber pictures. A lot of times, somber settings are picturesque. Sure this picture has a somber tone but what it also has, like many somber pictures, is that it somewhat denotes peace. The tranquility of this lone banka takes me to small towns all over the US [...]
Blinks: Say “Cheese”
My Little HRH playing with Ms B’s DSLR during the most recent Pacquiao fight. This would not be her first time to shoot pictures with this type of camera. Looks like I have got myself a little digirati! Um and I are greatly thankful for our children’s skills and talents, and we hope that we [...]
Blinks: Up, Up and Away
Instagram has been quite an obsession as well as all those post-processing apps out there. This picture is one of the first pictures that I have posted on Instagram. Thankfully, I woke up when I heard this loud blowing noise that I thought was coming from the home constructions down the street. I hurried to [...]
Blinks: Our Red Hot Wreath
We haven’t done Blinks in so long but I’ve actually been taking lots of pictures lately with my phone. Thanks to Instagram, a Twitter-like application but with pictures. I have a slew of post-processing apps on my phone now and it’s pretty amazing. Additionally, because it’s like Twitter with followers and stuff, I learned so [...]
Blinks: Nebula
I confess. I am not entirely satisfied with the iPhone. For a got-my-hands-full woman like me, its inability to multi-task is a great turn off. But, one of the things I actually like about the iPhone are the photo apps. They just make the PhotoShop non-wizard me look like I have been editing photos for [...]
Blinks: Blue
photo and post processing: Ms C taken: April 2008 Oh, the peace and quiet that these blue skies and water bring! Oh, deep blue sea, my soul longs for you!
Blinks: One Year Ago
One year ago from today, Chef and I legalized our commitment to each other and our relationship. Our civil wedding was held in the beautiful San Francisco City Hall. It was humble compared to the church wedding that we had three months later. We got up, made breakfast, I did my own hair and make-up, [...]


Inadvertently Domesticated
