the last wedding

of the season was almost too painful. painful because it’s so exhuasting and stressful when things go wrong and you have to pretend that life is beautiful. major lesson this season is that i am not going to work alone next season. not surprisingly, i am bored by my photography again. must be that creative disease that that you get when you still suck. _i would be smiling too if i had a cute daughter _the formative years of the questionable smile _running away from boys pose _give me an A _pure fun

back into training

i guess the last time was at a retreat was 6 months ago and i need to go real bad. my attention span has been totally short circuited. i can barely meditated for more than 20 mins and 2 or 3 times a week at most. far cry from anything consistent and meaningful. at least i am sticking with my committment to attend two retreats a year. at some point, my yoga and meditition practice will finally ‘click’ and doing every day will be as natural as taking a piss. interestingly enough, i feel like most of […]

lost in translation

i finally got a round to see the movie today and of course, it was a bit over hype for me to live up to my expectation. it was good but not great. visually delicious with some great moments but the story was too typical. anyway, while i am not chugging away at my single malt, i am analyzing the visual landscape to understand why i like it. most importantly to my enjoyment of the movie was the soundtrack against the strong visual dialogues. I am looking forward to the day when i can combine my love […]

simply brilliant

i’ve only two concerts so far this year but it’s all i need to see if it’s at the calibur of damien rice and sigur ros. i just find it so amazing when people go on stage and perform with the kind of passion that people would only reserve for great sex. they had the sweet combination of the sultry sexy female vocalist, the gorgeously sad violin, the whiny passionate male vocals that just came together like two bodies that melt together on a cold winter night. and they even covered a nina simone song! to be […]

pushing cheese

i did my first interior photo shoot today and although it was sorta boring, i found myself enjoying the boring process. after last week’s crazy wedding, i like boring shoots where i can actually have time to experiment. and so i played around a little bit with a new lens, a tilt shift type, that will invariably be my favorite for next foresesable future. i finally understood why large format photographers love their camera so much. being able to totally control your perspective with tilting and shifting is freaking cool as hell. anyway, the place i was […]
