My buddy, Ferdie Ang, needed some photos shot for his new web site, www.team-scs.com. So he called me up and I shot some ladies in his team shirts. Here is a teaser. I should have a few more up this week.
my new sti!
Sunday, 5. July 2009
I drove around town trying to find interesting backgrounds. There just aren’t any here in the suburbs. I need to find an area more industrial or rundown.
the last photo

Here’s the last photo I took of my Limited before I traded it in.
san onofre beach
Thursday, 18. June 2009
My friend Jeff and I drove down to San Onofre beach yesterday to scout out some locations for a photo shoot he has coming up. I brought along my camera and snapped a few shots.
survivor dan
Tuesday, 12. May 2009
My really good friend Dan was diagnosed with cancer less than a year ago. After his operation and chemotherapy, he began his road to recovery. It’s only been 5 months but he has come so far. So we wanted to document how far he has progressed.
beach shoot with liz
Wednesday, 22. April 2009
Haven’t had time to shoot anything other than cars lately. Here’s one from the beach shoot I had with Liz last night.
spot metering & birds
Wednesday, 18. March 2009
I saw these birds in my backyard tree a couple days ago. So I grabbed my camera and my 70-200 f/2.8 lens so I could go shoot them. I took a few pics from behind them and next to them but I still didn’t have a shot I liked. I moved in front of them and when I raised my camera, they flew away! They saw that I was pointing something at them and got scared!
I thought I had missed my shot but a couple hours later, I looked out the window and saw that they had come back. I went out there again and without rasing my camera, I raised my arms to show them I wasn’t going to hurt them. They seemed fine so I raised my camera and took a few photos. Looking at my display, I saw that the camera wasn’t metering the birds correctly because the sun was behind them. (I wanted to keep the sun behind them because it outlined them nicely from the background.) The camera was metering for the whole picture, so when it saw bright light, it darkened the exposure. I switched the camera to spot metering where it only meters what you have in the exact center of the photo, recomposed and took the picture. Voila! It came out perfectly exposed.
Here is the photo with lots of adjustment layers in Photoshop like levels and curves.
new lens on my wish list
Sunday, 15. February 2009
Someday, when I am making more money, I want to buy this lens:
Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM
While shooting cars, I need that extra stop to f/2.8. My f/4 isn’t cutting it inside the car where I can’t use flash!

Haven’t shot anything fun in a little while so of course, I took some photos of my cat. Here’s one of them.
engagement photos
Friday, 16. January 2009
I did a faux enagagement shoot for some friends of mine who are married. They never actually got photos taken before they got married so we took some now!

I had a shoot this past Monday with Liz and Holly. Here’s how it turned out!
nikki and the hat
Friday, 5. December 2008
I asked Nikki over today to take some pictures because I had some ideas for photos. She was a great sport and I think we got some really great shots!
my new best friend
Monday, 1. December 2008
Meet John, my 7-month old new best friend. He is the cutest baby on earth! He’s Travis’ nephew. And he loved Fisher. Fisher made sure that the baby was okay at all times. He didn’t like when men held him, either, ha ha.
Thanksgiving was great! Travis’ sister’s family came and stayed at our house for the week and we went over to his mom’s for dinner. Mmm, I love me some Thanksgiving foods!
Back row: Bill, Travis, Tony
Middle row: John, Sarah, Chelsea, Sherry
Bottom row: Trish
another one of my STi
Friday, 24. October 2008
On Wednesday I washed my car and re-shot it with some better light. I also ordered a canvas print of this for an example I am showing at a photo shoot even in November. I hope it turns out cool!
new photos of travis’ bike
Sunday, 12. October 2008
Travis has done a lot to his Honda CBR600RR since you’ve seen it last. I don’t know if I can remember everything, but he’s put on an exhaust, removed the rear license plate/turn signals assembly and replaced it with a smaller setup, replaced the rear seat with a cowl, 4 frame sliders, gold levers, flush mount front turn signals, smoked front windscreen… I think that’s it.
Looks pretty effing sweet, doesn’t it? 
finally, the STi
Saturday, 11. October 2008
I shot some photos of Travis’ motorcycle today and when I was done, I shot my car. It’s been ages since I shot my car!
the bridal shower
Tuesday, 7. October 2008
We had so much fun at Song’s bridal shower! It went off without a hitch. There was food, there were games, and presents, oh were there presents! Song made out like a bandit. And Jeff did as well, I suppose, ha ha. Here are some of the photos I took along the way.

There were more pictures but I can’t show those to you!
