Peachtree Corners Town Center | Sept 29, 2024 Pretty cool way to start my Sunday morning at an informal exotic car meet in P’tree Corners, which fun trivia is Gwinnett’s newest and biggest city. 🤔 Dusted off the GFX since I hadn’t used it in a while, and it’s definitely still the dynamic range king. […]

Hello everyone, the new Suwanee park is open. Town Center on Main is near old Town Center, in between the fire station, library and little kid’s playground. It’s pretty modern and fancy. There’s a big reflection pool, but with the tree line and elevation it might be hard to get some sunsets. The bridge though […]
We tried the Burmese restaurant, Two Fish Myanmar Cuisine, in Clarkston for dinner. Clarkston, GA is one of the most diverse small towns in all of America, being the starting point for many refugees and immigrants. Lao people like us settled here as well in the 80s, and I remember back in the day visiting […]

The other day I drove all the way to Douglasville GA to try out a new (to me) place for some film development, The Photo Spot. I say all the way because as the old meme says, “Atlanta is 1 Hour from Atlanta.” For the last couple of weeks here in the metro area traffic […]

Really nice weather and start for the year’s first Tucker Cruise In. If you’re looking for something to do every second Saturday of the month, please come out between 10am and 1pm. And come early to get some grilled burgers and hot dogs for cheap! For this show I wasn’t too focused on a specific […]
Hello everyone, I’ve freely shared my photos with our amazing community for many years now. There are no ads on my website. I don’t make money on page views. I do this thing solo. It costs me time and resources for web hosting. My site is an archive of the cool and lovely things that […]

Thanks for the invite to dinner! It was a great time meeting and eating with some smart, and accomplished folks in the Atlanta and D.C. AAHPI scene. The Buford Hwy corridor definitely has so many communities and stories. Congrats to Mayor John Park of Brookhaven for being the first Asian American mayor in all of […]
For this wedding I made a personal recap book, an 8×6″ Flush Mount with matte velvet paper. I think it looks pretty nice! The paper is a bit more expensive than the normal lustre paper, but the fact that it doesn’t show any reflections and can be viewed/photographed from any direction is great. The vertical […]
Jenny & Tom 12.09.2023 | Royal China | Duluth, GA Photos from my perspective of a guest! Greetings from table 45!! 🙂 <3
L&N All this happened in one day believe it or not! Thanks to Lalsi and Ngai for being such great models and willing to walk to get these shots. 😉 The Chin cultural attire is so lovely and I already have ideas for some spring shoots amidst the fruit tree blossoms.
Every year I keep on forgetting to bring the Olympus cameras, with their fancy Live-Composite and Live-Bulb photo modes. Probably the best tool for fireworks photography. Oh well, these were shot with less than optimal gear, but it was still fun and a sight to behold on a chilly Sunday.

Only a few photos from my second festival of the day, the Arab Festival at Alif Institute. Had more fun soaking in the sights and sounds of the event than running around taking photos. The band was really amazing. Which reminds me I need to rekindle my interest in Persian techno. I remember listening to […]
