Comfort food on an early March evening: tapioca pudding

Yesterday evening I was craving an ice cream sundae, but we didn’t have any ice cream in the house. Luckily, inspiration hit me. Tapioca pudding! It’s so easy to make and only requires one egg and a couple cups of milk, ingredients that we almost always have in the house. We topped it with sliced […]

Life in Japan, Part I

We always love to visit Japan at New Year’s time. In Japan, New Year’s is like Christmas and Thanksgiving rolled into one: it’s the biggest holiday of the year and the time when the whole family gets together. For New Year’s this year we travelled to Beppu, the small city on Kyushu, Japan’s southern island, […]

Back from Japan!

We returned from our vacation in Japan about a week ago, and we’re still sifting through the hundreds and hundreds of photographs that Kyo took. It was an amazing trip, so it’s hard to choose just a few images to show on the blog. We’re going to post a series of mini photo-essays over the […]

Konnichi-wa, Japan!

An update on our whereabouts: tomorrow morning, we are flying to Japan for a 2 1/2 week trip to visit family. We’ll try to post some pictures while we’re there. In the meantime, have a happy and yummy New Year! See you in 2010….

Kyo’s cross country road trip, starting in Venice, CA

Katie & Zack’s Wedding, Battery Garden, NYC

It was raining hard the day of Katie & Zack’s wedding at Battery Garden in New York City.  Luckily, it stopped long enough for us to go outside to shoot a few romantic portraits. I’m so glad that we did, because I liked the nice soft lighting and the texture of the wet ground (and we […]

Photo Plus Expo

A couple weeks ago, Kyo and I attended the PhotoPlusExpo, one of the photo industry’s largest conventions, at the Javits Center in New York. We were especially interested in finding some new and exciting items to be able to offer our clients – and we found some! Here I am examining the albums at one […]

Phung & Scott

One of the best things about working in the NYC area is the opportunity to interact with people from such diverse backgrounds and cultures. Having photographed weddings in NYC for more than 7 years, I’ve shot many different types of religious ceremonies. This wedding was the first time I ever shot a Lao ceremony, though. […]
