Hiking Patapsco

Eric Mesa | August 26, 2010

I’m not traditionally a nature-as-scenery photographer.  I prefer animals and humans.  But on a recent hike through a trail in Papatsco State Park, I took my camera along and captured some of the lightly forested trail. I definitely prefer for photographs like these to have animals.  It looks so empty and desolate.  But this may [...]

Daniel’s Tiki Party 2010

Eric Mesa | August 25, 2010

Last year was Dina’s graduation Tiki Party.  This year it was Daniel’s turn.  We arrived the night before (no hospital visits this time) and so we had plenty of time to help cook and set up. The party seemed a lot less crowded, but I’m not sure if that’s due to setup (all the tables [...]

Top 20 Most Interesting Photos (According to flickr)

Eric Mesa | August 22, 2010

I haven’t done one of these since last October.  At lot of the same photos are there, but there are a few less panda shots.  A few of the photos have switched spots with each other. And there’s the relatively new photo of Dina and Brian. Interestingly (no pun intended), my most viewed photo is [...]

Franka Solida III

Eric Mesa | August 21, 2010

Last time I mentioned my Franka Solida III, I had just had my first roll in my Yashica developed. I mentioned being a bit worried about the fact that I couldn’t tell what was in focus by looking through the viewfinder. Turns out that my fear was founded as I originally thought the units on [...]

Otakon 2010

Eric Mesa | August 6, 2010

Just like last year, I went to Otakon, but didn’t pay to get in.  Perhaps next year.  So, like last year, I mostly photographed people  under the the awning of the convention center.  Unlike last year, I asked lots of people if I could photograph them.  It paid off as I was able to get lots [...]

MoMA and Family BBQ

Eric Mesa | July 3, 2010

On my Father’s Day Weekend visit to NYC I finally got to see some MoMA exhibits I’d wanted to see for months. First off was a Picasso exhibit called “Variations”. Ever since my parents took me to the Dali Museum in St Petersburg, FL six years ago, I’ve been very interested in painters – especially [...]

The New Coney Island and The Cyclone

Eric Mesa | July 2, 2010

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I went to NYC over Father’s Day weekend to see the Mermaid Parade. Well, as if that wasn’t crazy enough, I went BACK to Coney Island that night to photograph the new Luna Park. I have been documenting the changes to Coney Island and so I wanted to document [...]

Mermaids on Parade

Eric Mesa | July 1, 2010

In reading the New York Daily Photo Blog, I happened to come across a post about the Coney Island Mermaid Parade. I mentioned to my wife that I wanted to try and attend next time it happened. Being the awesome wife that she is, she kept her eye out for the date and let me [...]
