Prisoner of the City

City College Operations employee Ly Pham has been at City College since the 1990′s. He started as a student in the Electronics division and then found a job on campus. He is now in charge of all the keys on campus and can constantly be seen going from job to job.

Before coming to City College, Ly had a very interesting life when he was in his home country of Vietnam. Instead of being in charge of the locks, he was under the lock himself.

Fire Dancing Group

I am doing some multimedia projects for the Sacramento City College Express student newspaper. Here is one of the projects that I recently finished.

City College student Nadine is part of a fire dancing club in Davis Calif. She has been part of the fire dancing club for a few years and still considers herself to be a beginner.

The club is led by Aries who helped form the club and welcomes anyone who is interested in learning the fine art of fire dancing. The club meets every Thursday from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. (or later) in downtown Davis right in front of Baskin Robbins Ice Cream near the corner of E and Third Street.

2010 Yolo County Fair Photos

Last week I entered some of my photos into my local county fair and was very delighted with the outcome.

Of the seven photos that I entered, five of them received BLUE RIBBONS!!! It was quite a surprise and was really shocked when I saw that one of my photos won the best of show!!!

Here are some of the photos and I am most proud of the portrait of my niece which won the best of show.

First Annual Sacramento Outdoor Racquetball Tournament

Here are some photos and a video I put together at the First Annual Sacramento Outdoor Racquetball Tournament on June 19, 2010.

I really enjoyed doing this because I have been playing racquetball for over 20 years and was the first time I had a chance to participate in my two passions (racquetball and photography) at the same time.

Age of Gas

Here is a shot I took a few weeks ago at historic Reiffs Gas Station in Woodland CA.

I just love the texture and old time look that I was able to bring out while playing with photoshop.

Reiffs Gas Station

Whenever you get a chance to drive through Woodland, be sure to drive the downtown main street. There is so much history ingrained in all of the old time structures that have been around since the 1800's. The Opera House, Hotel Woodland, and the Cranstons buildings are must sees. However, be sure to drive a few blocks off of main street to see a very unique gas station at the corner of Mckinley and Jefferson.

Man of the Trike

Here is the second multimedia piece that I have completed using video.

The story is about a man named Conrad from West Sacramento CA, who is very artistic and creative in many ways.

Let me know what you think.
