Photo update

I've been playing around with a new "look" for my recent senior portrait photos. I wanted to get more vibrant colors especially when I'm backgrounds with nice textures (i.e. a colored wall, the sky, a field, etc). With a combination of taking good solid photos, some photoshop actions and a little adjustment, Viola! Here's the first samples. You can compare them with the images I posted on Sunday/Monday.

Photo update

Here are the latest photos from a Senior Portrait photoshoot I did on Sunday. I had a chance to work the lovely Lauren who will be an ag major in college. I have to admit she is one of the best models I've had the pleasure of working with.

political commentary

I just read this article today, "GOP fails to turn off light bulb standards
House Republicans fail to ban rules setting new efficiency standards for bulbs" which just abouts infuriates me. At this point, I am so disenfranchised with my Republican Party. None of their actions or speeches even remotely resonants with me. I feel like they are just trying to ruin the economy and the nation just to say that it's the other party's fault. Instead of working together to solve our country's party, they are still playing partisan politics. I think Thomas Friedman is right. We need a third political party to clean up the mess in Washington DC!

4th of July article

As a Filipino-American, I found this article a bit sad. On this day, let's hope our government will remember those who died serving their country especially on foreign soil. They gave up all their tomorrows so that we could have ours.
