Vietnamese American Community of Georgia (VAC) Tet New Year Festival and Miss Viet Georgia Pageant
\nNorcross, GA | January 22, 2012<\/span><\/p>\n

Feel free to download my photos for your own personal use.\u00a0 A link back or credit is much appreciated. Sharing is caring. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 More photos coming soon, these were the ones I personally liked.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Technical Notes: For those wondering, I carry so much gear so I can better achieve the results that I want.\u00a0 The different cameras and lens choices I use let me depict an event and its people in (literally) a flattering light.\u00a0 Nikon+Canon, Nikon 1 for wide shots, and black and white film in the F100.\u00a0 No flash for any of these photos.\u00a0 Sadly the battery in my A camera ran out of juice before the event was over, which never really happens.
