  Friday: Went to my best friend Eric’s graduation.  Congrats buddy it’s hard to believe how far we’ve traveled this road together.  I’ve been best friends with this guy since I was five.  I still remember the day we met and eighteen years later we both ended up at the same college and are now both graduated.  Well I guess well just see who ends up married first haha.  A beautiful girl already nabbed our buddy Josh so that leaves the two of us haha.  Well just have to wait and see what happens.

  Sunday: My sister left for Korea for the summer to study abroad.  I miss her a lot already and I can’t wait to hear her experiences and what she learned there.  I can’t wait to pick up on some more Korean from her. =)  I’m getting better but I still suck haha.  One of these days I’m going to go there and maybe I’ll met my wife there hahaha.  We dropped her off at SFO and while it was father’s day my parents and I spent the day visiting China town in SF.  I had some horrible dimsum but all good since I haven’t had that in a long time and got some Chinese baked goods too.  Visiting China Town is my poor attempt to be more Chinese hahaha.  Anyways, it was cool walking around and scoping out shops and snapping a few pics here and there.  While walking through down town SF there are so many great places I imagined to place a bride and groom; I think it wouldn’t be most appropriate but I still think it would make for an interesting photograph. 

  Jax:  Well there only one word to describe my close friend Jackie…Fiesty.  I had the priviledge of shooting a few shots of Jackie a few weeks back and she is such a beautiful person inside and out.  She is like no one else I know.  I don’t think I know another person who cares for all her friends like she does.  I am blessed to have her as a part of my life.  There was a lot for me to learn from this short shoot too.  I do know I like shoot down on people for portaits!  The lighting that day was way harsh if you can’t already tell.  I knew better but that was the only time of the day I could do the shoot and didn’t get to any places ideal where the light was diffused well. 

  Extras:

  So its official!  No, I don’t have a gf haha.  Still happily single (for now) hahaha.  I’M GOING TO PARIS & LONDON BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Yup, I’m attending Scott Robert’s and Kim Nodurft’s workshop in Paris.  I am extremely excited and I can’t wait to go.  The sweet part is I get to travel with one of my best friends aka the xanga celeberty….Junshien. =)  I’ve never been to Europe but theres a first for everything =)  Paris, here I come. 

  SFO International is a pretty sweet airport.  I happen to think the engieering is brillant and extremely efficent.  The airport is extremely efficent with using natural light to light the airport.  I also noticed they use large canvas materials to diffuse the light too so sunlight creates softer light.  The transit system and air rail are extremely well mapped out too.  The rail system is so easy to use and it would be really difficult for anyone to really confuse themselves as to where they need to go.  I also think the drop off zone is pretty sweet too.  Its right off the 101 and it gets you back on the freeway in seconds too.  It’s nicely designed and did I mention it was huge?  Yah it’s large!

  Thanks for reading.

  Cheers,

  Steve
