    Not the greatest picture, but I loved the moment. David duChemin actually just published a blog post today saying if you want better portraits, wait for the soul. Perhaps I should have waited for their eyes to open. Photo taken in 2009 at a school in Shanghai with my medical team. You might recall other…

    I can never get skin tones and colors right. I think I need to calibrate my monitors. Too bad I don’t have any programs. Skinny guy in the picture is my brother at a wedding last October. Not sure why I cut off his face.

    Ok, since I wrote a post about Asian stuffs, I will write some stuff about England, no Great Britain, the U.K or whatever it’s called. First off, everyone should see The King’s Speech. I liked the arsty-fartsy camera visuals, NOT like Gaspar Noe’s movie Irreversible, which was just sickening, literally. The music caught my attention…

    I’ve spent the past 5 summers with students in China. I don’t shoot as much as I usually do because I feel like I’m “at work” and need to make sure the project is going well and that everyone’s doing well. That’s probably why I’ve posted very few pictures from China here on the blog.…

    My two favorite drugs of choice: black tar (my camera) and white powder (seen below). Not the best image, but it’s the first time I lugged a DSLR up to the slopes. I didn’t have a choice since I dropped and broke my point-and-shoot in Shanghai back in 2007. The picture was taken this past…

    Some groups like to take pictures of food. This group likes to jump. Pictures are from this past summer’s program.
