Photography brings us closer - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

Advanced means of transportation have made a huge difference in how we do business and how far we get to travel to in our lives.  Although I've been travelling and taking photographs for  years, not until today did I realize how close I can be with somebody, brought together by photography.If you remember, I made a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia in November of 2010.  While every city that we visited was amazing, Hoi An remained one of favorites due to it's diverse culture background and colorful architecture.  So you may remember this image that I've posted on my Facebook fan page or on Flickr.

Can you believe just one month earlier, someone took an image at the same spot?  Mind you, it's on an off-beat street that I don't think every tourist visits and this lady lives all the way in Catalonia.  What can I say?  Great minds think alike! :-)

Hoi An

P.S. I have to say it's pretty amazing that the same bike was still there a month later, not locked.  But the bananas had disappeared.  Any clue? ;-)

P.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 ready to hang solutions to be recommended.

My first YouTube video about my life - Los Angeles Photographer

I'm not going to lie.  I have been thinking about posting videos lately.  And YouTube made it easy.  It's so much fun making it.  And I hope that you have fun watching it.  What else would you get for 35 seconds of your life - a synopsis of my life (horror) stories. :-) If you watch this in your office, put on your head-phone.  I can't help when you laugh too loud though. :-)

What a unique way to present your portraits on a "floating" gallery block - Los Angeles Children's Photographer

One of the ways that I add value to my clients is to always be on the look-out for unique and creative ways to present the beautiful portraits.  I had a portrait session with the family of Beau and Stacy and never had a chance to write about it.The fact is, their daughter Savannah gave me lots of interesting images, as you know how my photography is inspired by children.  I thought the "floating" gallery block would be a nice addition to any family's nursery or a child's bedroom.  As a result, I designed this sample product using some images of Savannah's cute expressions:

As you see in the images above, this "floating" gallery block is a series of smaller gallery blocks constructed as a collage on an overall large background, also made of a gallery block.  The photographs are printed on Kodak ENDURA Metallic photo paper with a satin laminate, which are then adhered to solid wood with perfect 90-degree corners.  What's not reflected in the above 2 images is the beautiful sheer glow that came from the metallic photo paper, toned down just perfectly by the laminate.

This is another frame-less, ready to hang product that will add colors and characteristics to any family's walls and sizes and colors can be customized.

I would love to hear your thoughts and/or questions.
