Catch me in San Francisco

I love being surrounded by buildings in the city. I plan on attending school there after I finish community college. One day, I'll be up there on the highest floor of a building as a creative director, or photographer... One day. These are a few images of buildings, maybe a bit more on the perspective, abstract side.

Couples

I have project coming up, for an Asian-American Scholarship. The Plan is to show "bridges" that Asian-American teens face. And I thought, why not Interracial Asian couples? So maybe they aren't a real couple... But you get the picture right? Have a great Wednesday! 

A Tease of Summer

These are my Favorite shots of Alyssa Rhaye from my most recent shoot, "A tease of Summer"

 

A lunch hour in the life of Kalvin and Cassandra

Highschool is a pretty lame place to have lunch--dried tater tots and soggy bean burittos. So Kalvin and I decided to be hipsters, we grabbed cookies and fraps at starbucks, and headed to the park on such a beautiful and sunny day, until our painting class started. I studded my own vest, and Kalvin has the ability to fly.

Sneak Peak!

At a shoot I did, again, with the beautiful Alyssa-Rhaye!

Mariah Mariah

Part two! Here are a couple of shots I took of Mariah in our highschool's old theatre.

 

Paddy on the Tricity voice!

Remember my post about the owner of Paddy's coffee shop a few days ago? One of the photos made it on to the tricity voice! It's always exciting to see one of my photos published.

Nothing beats black and white

It really doesn't. Here are some more shots from the hike. Tommy Lee Skaggs(an aspiring photographer), my friends Aussie Shepard, and a view from the walk down.

Mission Peak

On presidents day, I took a hike with a few close friends up the East Bay trail of mission peak. Here are a few shots from the very top. 360 degrees of beautiful scenery.

And a belated holiday

I know I'm a little late, but Valentines day is one of my favorite holidays. No, not really. However, I did take a picture of a cupcake that I received and thoroughly enjoyed from CakoBakery.com So yeah, Happy Late Valentines day!

Trail blazing!

A couple of photos from the horse trail! and a HUGE dog that we met at the village. 

Highlights from Tahoe!

I'm back! I've been gone the last few days to Lake Tahoe for a family ski trip and vacation. And of course, I took plenty of photos! Here are just some highlights...

The AMAZING view coming into the lake.

 Relaxing in the condo, simple games, fun times.

 Not Gambling, but playing in the arcade.

 And winning really big money.

 The ride up the Heavenly gondola to do some snowboarding

 Snowboarding until my legs fall off, (my mama took this one)

Coming home to these wonderful snow dusted condos everyday

 Eating great like this: walnut cinnamon roll

 Horseback riding in the valley (Taken by our guide before hitting the trail)

 

The horse trail itself, and just the day before, we were snowboarding on that exact mountain behind us

A Local Tribute

Meet Paddy. The wonderful and charismatic owner of "Paddy's Coffee Shop" In old alvarado, Union City. I had the joy of meeting him earlier today to photograph him for the union city Patch.

He is being featured on the patch for his work with the "Princess Donations" Its a small local group that is helping collect prom dresses for girls that may not be able to fully afford prom this year. It is not only for girls though, this group is also taking in donations for tuxedos and suits for young men. It is really a great cause. Prom is the one night a teenager can really dress and feel the part of a "Princess". If you have any prom dresses or suits that you will be willing to donate, please contact me at cassandramanansala@ymail.com and I will forward you to the organizer. 

Snow trip!

I'm taking a snowboarding trip to Lake Tahoe with some family and friends. I'm so excited, I like to take pictures when I pack. Stay tune for gorgeous images of Tahoe in a few days! Eeeek! I can't wait to leave already!

Burton Feather snowboard, Checkered Green and orange Burton snowboard pants, B by Burton snowboarding boots, Oakley ski goggles, and my Dub snow jacket!

and the latest addition to my snowboard, LAPINKONE.COM sticker.

Shout out to my Partner!

Kalvin Ray Joven. This guy is AMAZING. One of my good friends, and a fantastic artist himself. He has a knack for multimedia production. He's assisted me on several photo shoots, even pushed me to do better in our American Political Science class. Trust me, this guy is all that jazz!
