Sasa is my nickname and the literal translation of my Chinese name. I enjoy a medley of many different things from rap music to fantasy novels to painting. I study Studio Art and Children's Literature at the University of Pittsburgh. This tumblr is dedicated to random things I like and to display my love for photography. Want to know more?

I’ve started an herb garden.

Saw this outside of my apartment. Love kids.

My boyfriend, fixing my bike.

Ghostriding.

Without the heavy-handed vignette, the car wheel is too distracting (in my opinion). It makes the photo feel very instagrammy.

Yesterday was an early taste of spring…

I apologize for the sudden increase in saliva-inducing photos (including the ones of Samuel). Coming home for spring break means a whole lot of good food!

Samuel Su in Market Square, Pittsburgh.

Homemade eggplant parm at the Feng residence.

There’s been a lack of photos, but I can assure you that I’ve been taking many pictures. I just can’t upload them because they’re mostly of children in the preschool classroom I work for, and they don’t have public photo permissions.

But since it’s spring break, I’m determined to bring my camera everywhere! Hopefully I’ll get some good shots wandering around Philly, and in Chinatown during my dad’s, aunt’s and uncle’s triple-birthday celebration. I’m still looking for a diverse range of models to practice portraiture! So far I’ve been shooting my boyfriend, little children, and myself. Not very diverse. Haha.

It’s been ages since I’ve made a mundane text post. I’ll leave it at that. Time to nom on some authentic homemade dumplings!

My boyfriend really wanted me to take a photo of this sign as we were walking around in North Oakland; he had a hand in organizing this event through OPDC, a community development organization.

Breaking J.K. Rowling News of the Day: News from the industry vine this morning is that J.K. Rowling has officially signed a book deal with Little, Brown, and will soon be releasing her highly anticipated Harry Potter follow up.

No word yet on title, plot, or publication date, but word is that the book’s target audience will be adults.

“Although I’ve enjoyed writing it every bit as much, my next book will be very different to the Harry Potter series,” said the author in a press release.

The freedom to explore new territory is a gift that Harry’s success has brought me, and with that new territory it seemed a logical progression to have a new publisher. I am delighted to have a second publishing home in Little, Brown, and a publishing team that will be a great partner in this new phase of my writing life.

Poker Night. Enough for tonight. I need to read and sleep ..

Amazing Aces. One of the first few hundred snapshots in the first batch of photos I took with my new camera.
