better than snow

Sat. December 24, 2011 Posted in Tangents

So, I got back from my recent trip to Hong Kong and Taiwan and was surprised at how there is no snow!! None what so ever!! I mean, occasionally, I would see a ton on the roof of someone’s car but that’s about it!? Where did they get that snow?! Some may be happy about this but not me…I really enjoy having a white christmas, it’s just not the same without it. Every time I see snow, it reminds me of all the times I built forts with my brothers, we’d build tunnels and snow furniture, all the snowball fights and toboggan rides with my friends, without it, it’s just different..but I digress…Although I was not enveloped with snow…yet (there is still hope! * fingers crossed*)….I was showered with a bunch of holiday and thank you cards from my couples which was soo nice!!

Thanks everyone and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

The Dress…

Wed. November 30, 2011 Posted in Photography, Travel

Wow…I was suppose to only post a teaser image but I was sooo excited to blog about this awesome session today.

As you may already know from this previous post , I am currently in Taiwan with Lucy, Albert and Sandy. Now, since Sandy and Albert’s wedding back in July, they have been talking about doing a trash the dress shoot. Locations and ideas were suggested here and there but nothing really materialized until we found that our off season trip/their honeymoon overlapped in Taiwan. It was then that we decided that Taiwan would be the country for where this shoot would take place.

Lucy, being from Taiwan knew that Yehliu Geopark in Panchiao City would be the perfect backdrop for such a creative. Unfortunately, getting to the park took much longer than originally expected and by the time we got to the location, it started to rain slightly and we were losing light fast. Thankfully, Sandy was a true trooper and braved the rain and cold as I created these images. Now although these sessions revolve around the bride and the dress, I needed to get Albert in there with his wife as they are such a sweet couple together.

Now, we may not have trashed the dress…..yet…but we are planning session 2.0 soon. Check out Lucy’s sneak peak of this session here
Small Sandy, checking out Big Sandy =)

what is that?!

While roaming the streets of Hong Kong, you will undoubtedly walk by some food stand/stall somewhere serving some tasty food. On one such walk our friends and I (Lucy, Albert, Karen) were intrigued by a clipping sound. It was subtle but distinct, we looked around and found that it came from this little shack, I mean establishment.

We moved in closer to find out that this place was selling beef parts.  Me not being a fan of such delights wanted to move on, but Lucy and Karen were intrigued/curious. It’s not like they have never tried eating this kinda stuff before, but trying from this particular place was different. So they made their order and the guy sniped away at the bits with an Edward Scissorhands like motion.

Lucy and Karen asked fo some hot sauce and I take it that his original supply was depleted so he needed to go to the source. Out came a huge tub, just about spent, which he shuffled back and forth to get out. It reminded me of those ketchup commercials where people had a hard time getting it out of the bottle, a little entertaining.

So, how did it taste? Well again, I am not a fan so I did not try it out, but according to Lucy and Karen, it was all pretty good.
