Photoblog!

It went quite well, everyone’s had a great time including me.  I just want to say again, congratulations to you Daniel and Bob.

The beautiful all inclusive resort Aventura Spa in Cancun, where Daniel and Bob were getting married.

This photo just won second place at Lake Ray Roberts State Park nature photo contest, sponsored by Texas Parks and Wildlife Services.  Hooray!

I flew to Arizona to attend, but most importantly, photograph my step-sister’s wedding. The wedding was at The Valley Ho a famous resort popular with celebrities. The ceremony was held on top of the hotel’s roof with desert and mountains in the background. This was the first time I have been to Arizona, and I was surprised to see it’s culture, unique landscape and ecology system. Below is a sneak preview of some images during wedding rehearsal, as well as the surrounding landscapes.

I took my girlfriend’s Canon SD1000 (Great P&S Digital Camera BTW) out on an eight mile trail walk last week, along with a home made infrared filter, below is a sample gallery of the resulting work. ISO boosted to 1600, under a sunny afternoon, average exposure time is around 1/20-1/60 of a second. the IR filter blocks around 850nm wavelength.

I met Jimmy when I was still in high school. He was a waiter at a Chinese Restaurant where I got hired. He treated me with respect and we immediately become good friends, we called each other “brother” now. He is truly a great friend and a real hard worker, just moved in to an uptown apartment with his beloved girlfriend Maggie and his gigantic 65″ HDTV, he’s got no decorations on his wall, though…

Jimmy & Me

Maggie told me Jimmy haven’t touched his guitar since he started working.

He is excited to have his photo taken.. He rarely have his photo taken.

It’s been 4 years since me and my best buddy went to Galveston together, today we’ve finally had a chance to revisit the beach, along with his love Summer. Though the water is too cold to swim at this time of the year, we still had a lot of fun.

Good friend Jayla playing with an early model of stereo photograph viewer at Amon Carter Museum.

A bit of sadness..

And lots of pride

“10 fingers, 2 guitars and a room full of jaws hitting the floor” — That’s the description written on Mr. Butler’s webpage. I felt the same when I heard him performing yesterday night. Simply Amazing!

Battle of The Bands event where different bands from high school performing in hope to be the best band.

Seen the younger generation performing on stage give me a completely different and strange feeling. It reminds me of American Idol in a different format.
