2008 Village Halloween Parade
Like the previous years, I went to the Halloween parade in the village. Unlike the previous years, I went with my cousin and another friend this time. Even though we arrived on time, the place was already packed when we got there. As a result, we spent a good amount of time standing outside the parade watching just like most people did. Luckily, the three of us were able to blend into the parade later on. :D
My first time seeing sooooo many "Richard Simmons". A bit scary but I thought their group dance was terrific, not to mention HILARIOUS.
This is after we got into the parade. He was sitting inside the fence watching the parade.
Given the current economic condition, you can be sure someone is going to poke fun at it.
I have no idea what this is supposed to be. Someone care to englighten me?
Go Go Power Rangers. I saw these guys after leaving the parade. Wished I had seen them inside. They would probably have give me some good photos.

Random People
Had a chance to shoot some people photos from our youth group's reunion event a couple of weeks back. Here are my favorites.
This kid is not afraid to pose. A great model to shoot with in my opinion. You go, Edward! :)

BBQ at Bear Mountain (2008)
Why do I have to put the year, "2008", in the title? Because we have been going to this place for BBQ once a year for at least 4 years. I wanted to go somewhere else this time but two of our friends have never been to Bear Mountain before so I succumbed to their wishes.
The weather for that day may look nice in the photos but it was actually pretty cold. Hence you'll see photos of us staying near the grill to stay warm.
The owl is our grill. There is a total of 3 different grills. Each is a different animal.
With the charcoal burning, the owl looks like it's quite angry.
The large tin can is a pretty cool gadget, it's used to get your charcoal ready for BBQ more quickly and easily. And as you can see in some photos, it can be used as a mini grill and hand warmer too. LOL.
The bag has working speakers that you can plug into your phone, ipod, etc. The name of the bag? Mini boom box. Hahaha~ Vivian was demonstrating how one would use the bag to listen to the "boom box". In this photo, she was threatening me to stop taking photos of her or she would stop the demonstration.
Somewhere in Woodbury Common mall. Since the mall is nearby, why wouldn't we want to go there after finishing BBQ?

Finally
Finally received the new 15" Macbook Pro on 10/21/2008. Joy says it's hers but I say it's mine. However, sharing is caring so I'm willing to share it with her. LOL.
Apple just came out with a new 13" and 15" model. Unfortunately, I don't like what they did with the new screen (neither is Joy) so I got the older version. This laptop is going to replace my aging 12" Powerbook. After using an old laptop with a small screen for a long time, all I can say using the new one is WOW! =D

Urbanity: NYC
Been quite busy lately so I have not been taking photos or posting photos that I like. Plus that a new Mac (which I will buy) is supposed to come out soon, this makes me want to delay processing photos even more since I'm using a 5 year old portable. Gosh, it's slow.
The following photos were taken in May, 2008, in SOHO, NYC. Since there are only a few of them, I decided that I can tolerate the time to process them. The theme here is urbanity.
No real subject here but I sort of like this hard processed look.
The above photos have this film look in my opinion.
I think the reflections in the mirror make these photos interesting. I believe that's my reflection in the 2nd photo.

Mike + Cindy's Wedding
The wedding took place on 8/31/08 at the Westbury Manor, Long Island, NY. The ceremony was held outside. I thought it was a pretty nice little place although a bit crowded on that day. I saw at least two other couples holding weddings there on that day.
The groomsmen.
And the bridesmaids.
This is called the sand ceremony. It was the first time I witnessed this.
Why is every one laughing? When Cindy was putting the ring on Mike's finger, she had trouble doing it. "You sure the ring is Mike's?", the priest asked.
Relieved that the ring business was over.
First dance. Love this one.
The best man nervously trying to rehearse his speech.
Mike can dance...but not the regular kind. It's some sort of World of Warcraft type.
Cindy's maid of honor and her older sister giving a very touching speech.
A wedding wouldn't be a wedding without some hard liquors. Only 4 are in this photo but there were a total of 6 prepared on our table for the just married group.
And Mike's cousin saying "No problem, I've got this covered".
Now, this is what I call FUN. Two guys doing this???
What can I say, people just LOOOOOOVE Mike and Mike sure seems to be embracing it. :)

Fire Island - Ocean Beach
I've heard of Fire Island for quite a while now and have been wanting to go there. We finally did. Fire Island is an island that you can only get to by boat, which is a lot of trouble because then you can't go there any time you want. And because we went on a great weather weekend, the place was crowded. Fire island has many points of destination. Since I've never been there before, I chose to go to Ocean Beach, the unofficial 'capital' of Fire Island according to www.fireisland.com web site. :)
The entire island is filled with these tiny streets that run across the island. Stores are on our side and the beach on the other. Homes are located on both sides of these streets. Kinda interesting.
We saw these two deers running around in people's backyard. Actually, they were running on the street. I think they were looking for food. I wonder how did they get to the island.
Playing hide and seek, eh? Our friends found this baby crab while playing with the sand. Disclaimer: The crab was not harmed. We released it back to the sea after only 3 minutes of looking at it.
Our friends constructing their sand empire.
Before.
And after. Joy's expression is just too funny. LOL.
This kid was trying to break the world record of the deepest hole dug on a beach.
Can you say "crowded"? This is the first time that I've gone to a beach with these many people.
Love the colors and the shadows.
The completed sand empire by our friends.
Had ice cream here shortly before the beach closed. You MUST look at these 3 people's all different face expressions, they are hilarious. It does show that they love the ice cream.
Only 16 stars on this flag which means 16 states. Wow, this flag must be really, really, really ancient, huh? :)
I like.
So I learned that Ocean Beach is more like a beach place (should have known that from the name). Next time, we definitely want to go to other points on Fire Island where there is more nature to be seen. The name "Sunken Forest" sounds good.
