Another Asian with a Camera is a repository for outtakes, mistakes, blunders, and exorcising the good ideas from the bad. Yeah, it’s a Tumblr. It won’t really be a blog; follow it if you want to see photos — it’s not going to be something that’s even closed to polished, but, rather, things I’m working on or random snaps to get myself back in the right direction.
Thanks for subscribing.
Saul Bass had some poignant thoughts:
I don’t give a damn whether the client understands if that’s worth anything or that the client thinks it’s worth anything or whether it is worth anything; it’s worth it to me — it’s the way I wanna live my life ; I wanna make beautiful things — even if nobody cares.
Thanks, Samuel.
To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan and not quite enough time.

The WSJ interviews people who’ve been hit hard by the fine print of compounding student loans.
[Dr. Bisutti] recently entered a rehabilitation agreement on her defaulted federal loans, which now carry an additional $31,942 collection cost. She makes monthly payments on those loans—now $209,399—for $990 a month, with only $100 of it going toward her original balance. The entire balance of her federal loans will be paid off in 351 months. Dr. Bisutti will be 70 years old.
What’s scary about this article isn’t the stupidity of certain student loans — it’s the pervasive notion that student loans are a good investment. Even with a solid foundation, such as medical school (in Dr. Bisutti’s case), one can still get burned and drown in endlessly compounded debt. I can only imagine the amount of debt that’s going to come out of the past couple of years of college-bound kids — attendance rates have soared in the past decade. What happens when they all get out of school and realize the promise wasn’t all it was cracked up to be?

Mission Street Food - Beef served seven ways
Mission Street Food made a menu preparing beef seven (actually, ten) different ways.
I won’t lie — I ate two orders of the terrine…
This was easily one of the best meals I’ve had at Mission Street Food. I’m looking forward to the next visit…
