Spring 2011 Workshop: As a professional photographer, I get questions all the time from photo enthusiasts who find themselves struggling to create the images they thought they would be able to get because they bought a better camera. I wish it were as easy as buying a new camera, but it’s not. There is however, [...]
January 28th, 2011: Death Valley has become some sort of annual pilgrimage for Daniel and I, where we run amok in the day doing boys’ stuff and sit around drinking beer at night. Good times. This year, we brought the ladies with us, and we all got to run amok together! Woot! Most of our [...]
January 25th, 2011: So. Remember that post from a mere 8 days ago where I started bragging about how this year I was going to eat better, exercise, yadda, yadda, yadda….? Unfortunately, early yesterday afternoon a carrier came to my door with a package which would destroy all self control: Baked goods… Cupcakes… Sprinkles Cupcakes… a full [...]
January 24th, 2011: Daniel is one of my best friends. He was in my wedding in Singapore, and has a passion for life and sense of humor one rarely finds in this world. When he proposed to Scherrie last year, I had shot a paparazzi style shoot of the event followed by a quick, [...]
January 20th, 2011: January’s supposed to be winter in California, but last Saturday, on Jenn & Dave‘s big day, the sun was blazing, and the sky was clear blue: a perfect, beautiful day, for two beautiful people. From the balcony of the apartment where Jenn was getting ready, we watched as throngs of paddle-boarders, kayakers [...]
January 19th, 2010: When Jo emailed me and asked if I could manage a few “Bad Ass Rockstar photos”, I was totally up to the challenge. Felicia and I took a drive around the downtown Arts District in search of gritty spots – think trains, steel I-beams, graffiti and brick walls. After about an [...]
January 17th, 2011: Image above: Food from our kitchen artfully arranged by my wife. From left: Red/brown rice, Goji berries – used in Asian soups, whole wheat pasta, green mung beans. Yum! Holy Crap! 2011 is not only here, we are already 2 weeks into January! Over the past year I have started to notice [...]
January 14th, 2010: Tomorrow Felicia and I are shooting Jenn and Dave’s wedding in Laguna Beach, so I thought today would be a great chance to give you a glimpse into my day before rituals before a wedding. My work starts by brewing a giant pot of coffee, then charging that massive pile of lithium [...]
January 12th, 2011: Last Sunday on an overcast and uncharacteristically gloomy California day, Felicia and I had an excuse to make our way up the coast to visit one of our favorite Californian places: Santa Barbara. We’re both very fond of the city’s character, small-town feel, mellow vibe, and collection of eclectic mom-and-pop stores instead [...]
January 10th, 2010: I have decided that 10am on a Monday morning is definitely not when you want to schedule a root canal. It just seems to start the week off on a painful note. Nonetheless, that is how I just spent the last hour of my life – having a Korean man with small [...]
