Project Wedding, Google Voice & Busyness

I received an email from Project Wedding earlier today about having a perfect 5 star rating and I got so excited I had to blog about it!

Check it out for yourself and feel free to click on it and view my other reviews left by happy couples =) I'd like to thank all of those couples who took a moment and left me a review.

Onto Google Voice. For anyone who hasn't heard or tried Google Voice yet, its amazing. It makes life a little easier and helps cut back on expenses. Free texting, free phone calls and AWESOME features! Check it out for yourself and create an account www.google.com/voice

And finally, busyness. It's been a real busy month for me and its about to get busier this Friday. I'm flying to Fresno (yes its only a ~3.5 hr drive, but time is money) Friday morning to shoot an Indian ceremony (Puja) on Saturday. I fly home right after the ceremony to LAX and immediately start my drive back to San Diego (I was there last week) for a wedding Sunday. At least everything is in the same time zone and I have a place to stay at =)

1930-2009

The day was March 3, 1930 in Vietnam where my friends grandpa was born. His life journey brought him to California where he had a fruitful life and then entered into rest on August 4, 2009. He was 79 years, 5 months and 1 day old.

I received a phone call from my friend on a Wednesday asking if I can document the funeral the next two days. I don't think anyone gets happy about funerals, but I was happy about the photojournalism that came about and felt fortunate that he asked me.

This funeral was a little different than the previous one I documented because he was buried; previously she was placed in a tomb.

As the workers began to lower the casket into the grave and proceeded to shovel dirt into the grave this is when I realized how real death is and how our time here is a journey. I quickly had to clear my mind and continue to do what I was asked to do; document the event.

I won't post any of the photo's on my blog, but will give you the choice of seeing them by clicking this link.

I promise my next post will be fun! =)

Chicago photos - finally!

Time passes by way too quick. It's been almost two months since I was in Chicago! I miss it so much I'm going back AGAIN in September. This time it'll be for Anand's sisters baby shower which I'll be documenting. I really fell in love with the suburbs, really peaceful, green and plenty of photo-ops. See below to see what I'm talking about!

Between NY (can be seen here) and IL, I think they are about tied for places I would live at.

Onto the photos!

Stepping outside of ORD I was welcomed by awesome California weather! This is also where I saw in disbelief that motorcyclists weren't required to wear helmets!







This is a lot of what you see while driving thru the suburbs; GREEN!



Behind the scene's of a mall where Anand's Subway is located



I'm so hungry for Chicago pizza right now. I can't wait to go back!!!





So what do backyards in the suburbs typically look like? Fence-less and green...





And whats the view like in a multi-million dollar condo in a high rise?















































I took this photo at Lincoln Park. Do you notice something that doesn't belong? If you said the CRT monitor you're half right.


If you also said a glazed donut tied to a string your correct! (cropped from above photo)











My gf having fun with my digital body while I shoot on my Yashica. Scanned images will come at a later date.







Attention ladies, he's looking for a special someone to tie the knot with! Inquire within!



I'm really excited to go back! Except I'm taking a red eye =( But delicious pizza will make it better!
