H.A.G.S! (Have a Great Summer!) Thanks to LAS for again organizing the Kid’s mini summer camp. Also thanks to Wat Lao Buddhakhanti for allowing us the space to teach and play.
The best way to learn, is to teach. Thanks for listening to my ramblings on photography! Notes: Great job everyone!! It’s never the camera, it’s always the person behind it. I also learned a lot, and nice to be around people with an awareness of the issues in our community. Any workshop out there can teach […]

Park Tavern / Piedmont Room | Atlanta, GA
Thanks for letting me be a part of your weekend!! Credits: Hair: Brandan, MUA: Star, Model: Kenya, Model: Vitelle, Model: Eva, Photography: Misa, Support: Me. 🙂
Notes: Just random clips thrown together, 5D mk II and D90, mostly handheld, and of course manual focus on everything. One could see the advantages of the little “HD” cameras out there with their extreme depth of focus (i.e. every unnecessary thing in focus), but I still like the messups and the old 16mm look. Song is […]
Fun meetup at the 57th Fighter’s Group, a restaurant/bunker with lots of army and airplane props, and the Dekalb county airport in the background. Here are the shots I got out of the craziness. Thanks to Eric and the Atlanta Photo/Model meetup group for organizing, and thanks to Nhi, Brittany, and Breanna for coming out. 3 different cameras […]
…liebe… Notes: …Editing most of the photos while listening to “Disintegration” by the Cure, yeah, “Plainsong” sure makes me think of stuff…Thanks for letting me be a part of your day…
Technical Notes: Actually a mixture of modeling light photos with the Canon and strobist shots with the Sigma SD14. Normally I shoot Nikon and off camera speedlights via CLS and TTL, but this time Pocket Wizard strobes and manual settings. I prefer the creative variety that shooting CLS gives you, especially outside, like being able to shoot f/2.8 or […]
AAPA Convention | Marriott Marquis | Atlanta, GA When I was a kid, I wore thick glasses and read a lot of books. Relatives would call me “little doctor.” I guess it would have been a smarter career move, instead of this whole “artist / photographer / documentarian / lazy thinker” joyride that I’ve been on […]
RLCD Festival | Nashville, TN
Wat Sattha Dhamma | Alto, GA Random Notes: Like most Lao things, humble beginnings on this one as well, but there aren’t many times in America these days where you can witness an old timey barn raising, people pulling together to build something. Time will tell if this becomes a Lao “Bonnaroo” field, and more complaints from […]
Notes: Pix by Misa and me :), Nikon CLS strobist stuff and Capture NX as usual…
The Lovett School | Atlanta, GA Notes: John Wood had a pretty comfy position at Microsoft ten years ago. While travelling through Nepal he visited a quaint school in the mountains and found their “library” was merely a filing cabinet with things left over from hikers and travelers. Apalled at this he vowed to return with more […]
Asian Festival | Gwinnett Place Mall
Notes: Collaborations from the little iPod/iPhone app Brushes. If anyone would like to purchase any of our “masterpieces,” we accept payment in candy! 🙂
I had the pleasure of meeting a gentleman in Laos, Manophet, whose life story is pretty amazing. As a farmer, monk, soldier, singer, translator, teacher, and father, his life was full of triumph and tragedy, that should make us all think about our own selfish desires and priorities. I’m saddened to hear that he passed away due […]
