Anthony Bourdain's Medium Raw
While I’m primarily a portrait and wedding photographer, once in awhile, I get an assignment so far out of left field for me. On task was event coverage of a book signing and intimate lunch with American author, TV host and chef Anthony Bourdain. He was promoting his latest book “Medium Raw” and I was… Read More
Exploring Jesh de Rox's Manly Tingles
A normal person would name the blog post – A Beloved Platform Talk with Jesh de Rox, but hey – who said I’m normal? I’m glad to have caught your attention. The name Jesh de Rox to me instantly evokes thoughts of touchy-feely-artsy-fartsy talk. People who have seen him speak have urged me time and… Read More
Yervant @ WPPI 2010 Plus Classes
Australian photographer Yervant is considered among the best wedding photographers in the world.

I just got back from the Captivated by the Light San Jose seminar today. And while it didn’t blow me away, it was okey. The “workshop” was given by 33 year photography veteran Ed Pierce. Over a course of three hours, he gave short mini-lectures, interspersed with several short video presentations illustrating the topics discussed…. Read More
OSP West 2008 Napa
I jump at every chance I can get to connect and bond with other photographers. But it isn’t always easy to meet up with people who you might consider your “competition” in the industry. I never felt that kind of vibe from the people of Open Source Photo (OSP), an online photography forum that I… Read More
Nurturing Moments: An Exhibit

Other participating artists are Pilar Tuason and Mary Rose Pena. Breastfeeding has always been an advocacy of mine since I had my first child in 2003. I breastfed… Read More
