• Belated

  The days have been flying by. Last week I had photo shoots almost every day of the week. At times I feel like I’ve caught up on my workload and I can relax a little… but there are also times when I sit and think about how I’m letting life carry me along in the current. More on that later.

  I have a billion photos to post and two billion topics to blog about. Let’s start with this.

  Earlier this month I attended the birthday party of the year – THE VAN PHAM BIRTHDAY. I only knew two people – Van and Junshien, both of whom I met through Xanga. Yay!

  The party started with dinner, cake and games. I was really quiet in the beginning and kept to myself… but they dragged me into their game of charades. AND MY TEAM WON!!! That made me a little less shy. I didn’t bother taking out my camera at that time. It’s nice to have a break every once in a while.

  But there are also times when I know I will want to capture memories.. and I also know that nobody else’s camera can do the job like mine. I’m not trying to brag, it’s just that… when I want to take photos… it’s go big or go home. I don’t use point-and-shoots.

  
  1. Van was gracious enough to beautify all of her guests. (Fyi, she’s a professional make up artist.) I LOVE getting my make up done by her!!!

  
  2. Christina getting her hair done.

  
  3. Isn’t she beautiful?!??! <3333

  
  4. The XANGANS. Me, Junshien (who no longer uses Xanga… he’s too famous and powerful), and Christina. Also known as the sober dance crew because none of us had any alcohol that night.

  
  5. I brought one lens to the club – my 50mm compact macro. It is my all time favorite lens. Yeah, it’s a tad too close for this setting… but hey, after a few tries, I can get the shot. (The photo is Van and her bf, who she ALSO met on Xanga!!!! w00t)

  
  6. See? I got the two of them in the frame.

  
  7. Sooo cute. They are a darling couple. Van I hope you don’t mind me saying that.

  
  8. While Van and her man were dancing, I was having a blast with this group of new friends.

  
  9. Haha, it was their idea to put us in a little picture frame.

  
  10. SO pretty!!!! This almost makes me want to start working at a club as a photographer… but I don’t know if I could handle it. I don’t like it when people spill drinks on my feet.

  
  11. Christina – taking a shower; Junshien is a girl; and Crystal is just plain gorgeous.

  
  12. Junshien: Don’t move. If you come any closer.. I will kill you.

  I had a BLAST. Happy (belated) birthday to Van!!!!
