Beautiful travel pictures from Vietnam and Cambodia to be slowly released - Los Angeles Photographer

OK, I'd have to admit that I'm a little behind on posting pictures.  The truth is, as many of us are familiar with the moment of clicking the shutter, the pictures taken usually go through a digital processing that, in my opinion, takes much longer time than the time of photo shoot.  Plus, the end results are an art, the generation process of which is not anywhere near the ones that involve 1+1 = 2. So anyway, this sort of explains why my travel photos have a lagging time while I'm painstakingly working on each individual for a way of presentation/expression that I feel good at the time.  And all this is going on while I have the clients' pictures in the "front burner".  If you haven't figured out that I'm the type of photographer that falls in love with her clients' photos before the client even has a peek, you'd know that I go through the same "perfectionist" type of process with my client work.

So, finally, I feel good about releasing one picture from my Vietnam and Cambodia trip.  While I'm in the process of making a book with the incredible scenery, history, culture and people of these countries, I will make a calendar with a selective few.  And I think that this picture will make the final cut.  What do you think?

P.S. Any image in the Fine Art Photography category can be purchased to adorn your beautiful home.  Please contact me for sizes and presentation options.  Many easy to install solutions to be recommended.

What Better Way than to Preserve Your Party Memories in a Custom Photo CD/DVD Case - Los Angeles Event/Party Photographer

Happy holidays!  Tis' the season for parties!

Although I have tiered pricing for events/parties, many customers choose to have the touched-up pictures burned onto a CD/DVD.  In this case, I'd always recommend a CD/DVD case.  Why?  Because it's a great add-on and it's like what an album is like to the pictures in it.  It also protects the nice pictures from the memorable parties on your CD/DVD.

They can be single, double or triple CD/DVD holders with leatherette, linen, or custom photo covers (my personal favorite) and finished with a magnetic closure.

The pictures below are examples of a CD case for Nathan the little pirate's party.  In this case, it holds a single CD, with customizations on the cover, including the design (can vary based on the occasion and taste preference), the picture and the caption.  The cover is also laminated for further protection of the surface.

Now, go off and book a venue (could be your home :-))for a holiday celebration and I will be there in no time! :-)

What a Halloween Party for Omar and Gabriela - Los Angeles Event/Party Photographer

On an eerie night, after the sun had set, I walked into Omar and Gabriela's Halloween party.  I have to say that I had a great time.  But getting there was not easy.  With anything good in life, you have to fight through obstacles to harvest the rewards.  For me, it was overcoming the fear.  Surprised?  I guess not around Halloween.  Follow me along, and I'll show you the way:

Passing the falling gates...

Treading through grave-yard where the rattling comes from within the coffins...

Who knows what's behind the thick fog where there's hissing wind by your ears...

Finally, I was greeted by the friendly hosts.  Wait, is this an Asian-influenced gathering?

Once inside, I realized it's truly a "diversified" group, from past to current, from above and below the ground.  Who says it's not a globalized world that we live in?  You want evidence?  I've got proofs:

We've got geisha from, well, Japan:

And we've got amigo, a big-foot one, from, umm..., Mexico:

And then we have these:

Oh my, is it Brittney Spears?

She never fails to surprise me.  But then, I guess it's my fault, she's always been true to herself.

Oh, did I mention I ran into two witches, including a pretty one:

The hosts truly know how to have fun at parties.  So there's a bar-tender, a DJ and, of course, a costume contest.  The three winners are....a beauty and the beasts:

Alright, by now, you can see that I've had lots of fun at the party and with the photos.  I have to say, thank you for having me there, Omar and Gabriela!  It was an impressive party!  And look forward to your Christmas party, hehe!!
