Road Trip with Nikon D5000
Finally, I had a chance to bring my Nikon D5000 with me to the Salt Lake – Las Vegas trip. I could have used it more, but it was a bit too big to carry around. Plus, I still needed at least 5-10 minutes to adjust the lighting. So, I was still too slow. Luckily, I also brought my compact Sony N-1 with me. It worked well for me when carrying two cameras.. hahaha. Let’s take a look some of my work. Click the image to view full size and hit Backspace on your keyboard to come back to this page.

Jaebeom Left 2PM
A HOT MESS!! …. It’s been confirmed that Jaebeom, the leader of 2PM, has quit and left 2PM due to his MySpace controversy on Sept. 5th. He wrote some of his comments about Korea and K-Pop 4 years ago and now it comes back and bites him badly. He has released applogy statement, but it seems like Korean fans/netizen are still mad and pressure him to quit. And… he did it … he left Korea yesterday (Sep. 8th) according to this petition http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/jaypark2pm
Wow…everything is happening so quickly…
Jaebeom posted:
“Hello, I’m 2PM’s Jaebeom.
I’m sorry for giving you my last greeting through this letter.
I think it will be hard for me to see you all on stage because of my sorry heart.
I’m really sorry to everyone, and I’m even more sorry to the fans who have shown me love.
From today, I will leave 2PM.
2PM boys, I’m really sorry to the boys and I’m sorry I couldn’t be strong as a leader and a hyung and have to leave like this.
However, I hope you will be more cool and charming.
Again, I’m sorry.
Jaebeom”
Cake World
I was reading on BoingBoing website and saw one blog post about Scott Hove who created an awesome cake world. He called his work, CakeVault. The pictures are available on Hi-Fructose Magazine. Take a look at some of his work!
Monopoly Game Board with Google Maps
Monopoly City Streets was developed by the Hasbro’s UK agency, Tribal DDB, with a little bit of help from Google. The game will be available in English, Spanish, German, French, and Dutch. Toymaker Hasbro is preparing to launch a world-encompassing live version of Monopoly using Google Maps as its game board.
The game’s official site dubs the stunt a “world of property empire building on an unimaginable scale” — and it will use something a bit different from the traditional Monopoly rule set.
Using Google Maps data as the backdrop, players start with $3 million Monopoly dollars to “purchase” actual streets and build up property nearly anywhere they wish in the world. Each street is only available for purchase by one player and can be traded or hoarded in the pursuit of real estate domination. Players earn rent each day based on the property they own, and chance cards offer the ability to make bonus buildings like parks, schools, and wind farms or even put hazards on other people’s properties to sabotage their rent value.
