2011 [My] Photo of the Year

December 29, 2011

It may seem unusual to put a wedding photo as my picture of the year, but this photo has so much below the surface which is what makes it an important one for me. The photo is of my cousin who got married New Year’s Day 2011. They had one photographer for the day and [...]

2011 in One Photo

December 27, 2011

This is easily my favorite photo of 2011. The morning newspaper had a section on the top photos of 2011, and although there were plenty of memorable and tragic moments captured throughout the world, this one of Scott Jones and Alexandra Thomas was one of the viral photos of the year. The context is that [...]

Photography Cost Breakdown

December 15, 2011

There are many assumptions I’m making for this post, drawing mostly from my experience. There are likely some holes and something I did not take into consideration, but the take home message is this: Photography almost always seems overpriced for a 1/125th second frozen in time, but you have to remember all the hours of [...]

Friends’ Songs

December 13, 2011

You know how they say scent is a really powerful thing to help you remember your memories? For me, I think I also associate music with people as well – when I hear certain songs, I find myself being reminded of friends and people I know. Do you do that? Hear a song and instantly [...]

DSB Syndome

December 4, 2011

I’ve put off writing this post because I kept telling myself it wasn’t relevant, but since I first thought of writing it, I seem to keep meeting people with DSBS, or Don’t Stop Believin’ Syndome.

Then and Now

December 1, 2011

Two years. It’s been a little over two years since I photographed my first wedding. I will never forget being so simultaneously nervous and excited to be the one taking photos for my friends’ special day.
