Took this during our mini exploration in Santa Barbara couple months ago.. as we walk pass the field this lil' puppy was hopping back to his owner, so I can't help it but to take a snapshot of him. It's always great to see happy dogs, shows a lot about their owners =)
Going back in time.... this picture was taken from my first PCH road-trip in 2008.
My buddy and I started the road trip in Alameda (NorCal) and we literally stopped at almost every vista point along the way, taking us over 12 hours just to get back to LA.

With fortune like this, how can I complain?

It's one of those days in LA where it's chilly, windy and generally speaking a "monday".. but this gorgeous sunset made the day! Gotta thanks my fiancée for calling me and giving me a heads up to go take this shot! (despite the wind, this was the clearest shot of the batch)
Such a fun portrait session as I got to utilize my home strobist setup. Chris was such a good sport going through different wardrobes and poses, we both came to realization that modeling is much more difficult than it seems on TV. Chris is a talented deejay out of Orange County, check out some of his mixes here and if you're a party go'er make sure to check him out at hot spots like Envy Lounge, Sharkeez & Sutra.

Macaron & Diamond... a girl's favorite!
Since I have 5 day rental of Alien Bee Ringflash (ABR800) from LensRentals.com, I'll do a little project with it.
My single rule was: whom ever visit our apartment/studio was subject to some "ring flashing"!
Yours Truly:
Wouldn't you like to blow up this picture below and have me look at you all day with that stupid stare? =p
Anyhow... I apologize for the scary upload.

Gotta love Facebook for notifying you with the latest news.. after finding out there's this ginormous halo in the sky on status updates, we (the fiancee and I) rushed out to the street and took this shot! Here's the geek specs: 15sec, f/18, 24mm, ISO 800
Halo Night

I figure for my first picture post on this brand spankin' new site.... I'll post some of my fiancee's handcrafted delectables! Here are some red-velvet and pina-colada cupcakes. Enjoy!
