Writing for the silver screen (by osmosis)

by sdulai on Mar 4, 2007 • No Comments

This year I got to take part in something I’ve been wanting to for a long time. It’s another one of those things that I’ve always wanted to do but never knew when the plan would come to fruition. But it’s funny how the last couple months things that I’ve always wanted to do have...

my first (second… well third) front page…

… but the first that I’ve seen in the newsstand. I passed by this kiosk on Pacific Avenue just after sunset as the rain was pouring and I was on my way back to the office dreched by the sudden downpour in nothing but a thin turtle neck sweater (don’t tell my mom, she worries)....

Talk about subtle…

So Blogger thought my blog was a spam blog and I haven’t been able to post until today. Ouch… my pride.

More proof that I’m better than you

This one is for Jona, but I guess the rest of the internet can read it to. Last Friday I was on assignment for Oh Dang!, a Hip Hop culture magazine out of San Francisco, where I got to meet DJ Qbert, Casual of Hieroglyphics and hip-hop journalist Adisa Banjoko. I got to meet more...

I finally went to the beach

by sdulai on Feb 15, 2007 • No Comments

After nearly six weeks at the internship in lovely Santa Cruz, I finally made it to the beach, which if you know me is flabbergasting. I’m the guy my friends know as the one who takes off for the beach when he’s bored or wants to clear his head or needs a destination to drive...

Well I guess I have to now

So I never was one for the meme thing, but it looks like it has struck again. In December Ryan Sholin “tagged” me, I didn’t see it right away and figured that the window of obligation had expired, but then wouldn’t you know it, my good ole’ pal Daniel Sato decided to extend me another...

My week in pictures, Jan 21-27

by sdulai on Jan 29, 2007 • No Comments

A bit lite this week, with classes at SJSU starting on Wednesday I decided to error on the side of too much free time and only worked one day. So enjoy the two assignments I shot. As always, please see my Flickr feed for caption info. The first was about a potential change in the...

My week in pictures Jan. 14-20, 2007

A few weeks ago I embarked on my second internship, and seeing as how I haven’t updated the blog as often as I’d like, I thought it might be a good idea to share the work I’m producing. Things have settled a bit… more like the calm before the storm as SJSU starts up next...

Ode to the Canon D2000, I still kind of hate you… old friend

The other night Daniel Sato reminded me of Dr. Dennis Dunleavy’s March 2005 post about my experience in Reno, NV for the 2005 NCAA WAC basketball tournament. Dennis wrote: “Tonight, while helping out on the Spartan Daily, we were waiting for Shaminder to email some images he made at a basketball tournament in Reno. When...

Dear Me, how’s it going, call your mother more often #JCarn

Yup, once again, welcome to my latest post for #JCarn. The Carnival of Journalism is a loose collection of journalism thinkers (and people like me) who get together to post on their blogs with their reflections on a given prompt. This month I had the opportunity to host and asked folks to write themselves a letter. As it’s the end of the year, it felt like the right time to look inward. Plus we spend so much time looking outside of ourselves at the industry/government/tech trends/government that self-reflection becomes that icky no-no that we seldom tackle. I know it’s scary, but come’on, let’s do this thing! Why? Because YOLO? “Write a letter to your younger self.” Dear Me, I’m writing to you from 2013, a little wiser, a little slower and probably still confused about why more people don’t do the right thing, but don’t let that stop you from trying. We’ve always been stubborn. I’m packing for a trip to India right now as I write this– don’t worry, you’re not married and yup, you’ll eventually leave California and actually get to fly in a plane– it’s been a wild couple of days. The last 10 or […]

Write a letter to yourself! #JCarn Dec prompt

Howdy folks, After trading some e-mails with David for the great reboot of #JCarn– we were trading prompt ideas and well, I’ll be your host for December. Oh how rude of me, I’m being such a terrible host, let me take your coat, come on in, wipe your feet. As we race toward the end of 2013, it’s a natural time for reflection and in that spirit I think I’ve come up with what I hope will be an enjoyable and perhaps even cathartic prompt: “What would you write if you could send a letter to your fifteen-year-old self?” For December I would like you all to write a letter to your younger self. You can write about anything, no rules, no apologies. You may like to share with yourself advice, things to look out for, things you wished you did differently, regrets, hopes, what you’ve learned, about your life, choices… or just about anything that is on your mind. Ideally these are deeply personal to you and I hope it’ll be enlightening to others in its universality to the human condition. More often than not, if it’s important to you, it’s important to others. And who knows, maybe you’ll […]
