my favorite shot in 2008

After scanning through some more than 14 rolls of film I took this year, this particular image came through as my favorite shot of the year.

family portraits

Here are some portraits of my family. Mom enjoying supper near where we used to live on her 31st wedding anniversary. Brother playing Chinese chess with my dad, with my niece in the background.

fourteenth roll

I developed my 14th roll of black and white film in my kitchen sink last night. It was one of three rolls of film I shot when I went back home last week. It is always good to be home, being able to spend time with my family, eat some local goodies, and catch up with friends and relatives. I apologize for not being able to meet up with some friends and relatives. There is never enough time to do all the things I want to do on trips like this.


A familiar view from a place I visit each time I go back.

Might post some family portraits here from the trip next time.
