I felt this was well fitting from the unfortunate events that had occurred.</p>http://www.atranphoto.com/post/48108319751http://www.atranphoto.com/post/48108319751Tue, 16 Apr 2013 03:23:00 -0400bostonmarathon2013bombingterrorall in for bostonskylinebwduskblack and whiteatranatranphotoatran photographyexplosionpray for boston<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/47cd72045b5d4150a6a2bdd1cf8212e5/tumblr_mhsfh4YN961qf4enpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/atranman/8449098227/" title="Downtown" target="_blank">Downtown</a> on Flickr.</p> <p>A <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/atranman/8345433796/" target="_blank">zoomed in</a> view of downtown San Fran from Corona Heights after sunset.

For my portraits, I usually shoot in the late afternoon with the sun behind the subject. It doesn’t give harsh shadows and makes very neat sun flare shots at some angles.</p>http://www.atranphoto.com/post/40414830029http://www.atranphoto.com/post/40414830029Sun, 13 Jan 2013 03:54:45 -0500<p>Thank you so much!

I&#8217;ve been to plenty of dim sum places before; this is my favorite of the bunch by far. For those who aren&#8217;t familiar with these types of restaurants, you order small dishes at a time from carts rolled around by servers.</p> <p><img alt="image" height="341" src="http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff515/atranphotography/Yank%20Sing/yanksing2_zps22be81c4.jpg" width="1024"/></p> <p>This is the star of the place: Shanghai dumplings. These delicate dumplings are filled with pork and a soup broth. You place the dumpling on a soup spoon, add the red ginger sauce, drink the soup within, and then eat it! Delicious!</p> <p><img alt="image" height="682" src="http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff515/atranphotography/Yank%20Sing/yanksing1_zps38a91f9b.jpg" width="1024"/></p> <p><img alt="image" height="682" src="http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff515/atranphotography/Yank%20Sing/yanksing4_zps09f932bf.jpg" width="1024"/></p> <p>Along with the Shanghai dumplings, my sister and I had seasoned string beans, chicken feet, har gow (shrimp dumplings), and shrimp rice noodle rolls.</p> <p><img alt="image" src="http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff515/atranphotography/Yank%20Sing/yanksing5_zps76a346ec.jpg"/></p> <p>Overall, Yank Sing had excellent food and service. I can&#8217;t wait to come back again!</p> <p><img alt="image" src="http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff515/atranphotography/Yank%20Sing/yanksing3_zpsbd4a8745.jpg"/></p>http://www.atranphoto.com/post/40391531384http://www.atranphoto.com/post/40391531384Sat, 12 Jan 2013 21:54:00 -0500yanksingdimsumsanfranciscofransfchinesedumplingsshanghaicaliforniaadventuredeem<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/5cbcf3216bce754d489250f8841f11c5/tumblr_mg3di23R3Y1qf4enpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/atranman/8345433796/" title="San Francisco from Corona Heights" target="_blank">San Francisco from Corona Heights</a> on Flickr.</p> <p>Another shot I took from my hike up to Corona Heights Peak.</p>http://www.atranphoto.com/post/39643644802http://www.atranphoto.com/post/39643644802Fri, 04 Jan 2013 03:13:00 -0500aerialatranatran photographyatranphotocitycityscapecoronafranfranciscoheightslandscapepeaksansanfransfviewlensblrphotographers on tumblr<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/9d85b91f2ca628fd8c5b44eb5f1aac76/tumblr_mg1g6zkGlZ1qf4enpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/atranman/8340371323/" title="King of the Hill" target="_blank">King of the Hill</a> on Flickr.</p> <p>The view of the Sutro Tower and surrounding neighborhoods from Corona Heights Peak.<br/><br/> I’m here in San Francisco vacationing for a week before I start my internship at Silicon Valley.

I apologize!<br/><br/> 2013 is here and there’s going to be some new things happening to my life. First, I’m currently packing right now to leave for San Francisco today. I will be completing my senior project at a company in the Silicon Valley area until March! This will definitely give me a chance to shoot around the Bay area so stay tuned! <br/><br/> 2013 also marks the year of my graduation from college. I’ll be making a major transition to the ‘read world’, and will start working at a company I was recently hired at.<br/><br/> Great things will happen in 2013.
