Remembering the 1930s
A performer friend of mine was having her 30th birthday party a while back, so she decided to host a 1930s theme birthday party. All in all, this was a lot of fun, and most of the people who arrived really got into the spirit of things. Click here for the album. Bookmark on Delicious [...]
Local Business: Saigon Town Seafood Market
A local supermarket just opened in the building where I work, so of course I brought my camera. If you live in the South Seattle area, you should definitely check it out. Click here for more photos.

Alternative Fashion
I recently got done shooting two different alternative fashion shows, Chance Underground Edition and AMDEF 2011. It’s not really my genre of choice, but it did give me something to practice with. For AMDEF, there was a lot of smoke in the room and I didn’t have time to set up my wireless lights, so [...]
Miss Vietnam Seattle
I finally got around to uploading the a local Miss Vietnam pageant from last month. For this event, I decided to go full ambient, since there were too many variables for speedlights.

Fashion: Chance Editorial Shoot
Today, I just finished up a collaborative shoot with Chance NW and Mac Fashion House. The goal was to do something more editorial, and as a news guy, I figured that this would be a good challenge for me. The shoot took place at Kristen’s house, which had a nice patio with a great view [...]
Fashion: Chance Urban & Casual Edition
Just got through with a fashion show for Chance: Where the Art of Fashion Innovates at Neighbors Nightclub by Seattle Central. I’ve only attended a few local fashion shows in the past, but this was by far one of the best experiences that I’ve ever had. The Seattle Fashion community is still finding its footing. [...]
Food: Pho Viet Anh
I just got through shooting various dishes for Pho Viet Anh, a classy Pho joint near Seattle Center that caters to a more mainstream audience. I first met the owners last summer, when we shot some photos for the special food edition of our newspaper. Currently, I’m helping them work on some basic photos for [...]
Sorting through the archive
I’m currently in the process of sifting through all my hard drives for photos to backup on my smugmug account. Over the next month, I’ll probably end up uploading upwards of 70,000 photos from the past three years for backup purposes. Do I really need all these photos? Probably not. At some point, I will [...]
Video: Pho-Natics Visit Pho So 1
Update: This video was just featured on the Seattle Times home page, and now has over 1400 views on youtube. Last Monday, I got a call from the office, asking if I could drive down to a nearby Pho place to do a video report. Apparently, there’s local fan club of Pho enthusiasts on facebook [...]
Plate of Nations
In a down economy, it’s important to support local businesses. The MLK Business Association recently launched a two week event called “Plate of Nations,” a special promotion where local restaurants come up with meal specials worth $8, $15, or $25. This gives people an excuse to sample restaurants that they might otherwise ignore. My sister [...]
