aftermath

Here in China, we're in the middle of the 15-day Spring Festival holiday, which means food and fireworks galore. The entire country sounds like a warzone at night, with the heaviest barrage occuring in the first evening (Chinese New Year's Eve). Here are a few shots which show what the streets looked like the morning after.

Intense

We had a concert last night with Matthew Smith of Indelible Grace. Tried to take some photos, but most didn't come out well..except for this picture. Something about the intensity of this boy.

Manufacturing process of a Canon EF 500mm f/4 L IS USM Lens

Ever wonder how Canon makes those Big White Lenses? Take a look at this.

I am sure that Canon does not make all of the glasses themselves. But, for those "L" lenses, it appears that they are making it from scratch. Total video time for all three clips are 15 min.
