So here’s the promised behind the scenes shots. Missed the images of that shoot? LINK!
Here are some pics of us having fun:
Don’t wear black soled shoes on a reflective surface. else you’ll be cleaning it up with WINDEX!
Photographers like to have fun too~ We’re just usually behind the viewfinder.
Lily has the craziest look ever! So human..
curious small dog in a confusing big world.
Homage to Walter Maurice’s edited pictures.
Walter…ever so graceful… Walter.
there’s something about behind the scenes shots that I just can’t get enough of. It has a sort of VIP feel where only select few can go and be.
Now some fun pics of the MA ladies doing their thing. MA = Master Artists… Because their work makes my job as a photographer SO easy. Hire them and give them double. Its worth it.
Master Hair Stylist.
Master Make-up Artist.
Her hand. (Those nails were quite the surprise!) Did a triple take, come to think of it.
No matter how great of a photographer, hair stylist, make up artist, and especially model… it’s all about the collective or you’re nothing.
To all you youngin’s getting into the photography biz, treat your people right and they will produce beautiful work. Enough said.

From what I can recall from that day, I remember talking with my team about how it was too bad we didn’t have a red head… a little photoshop magic consultation from a certain expert, Tammy Tso, and viola~!
This way~
Got Handicap?
A lonely shopping cart; no longer in use. Secluded from his brotheren in the freezing cold of night.
Littering takes a “SPECIAL BLEND” of character (or lack thereof)

you know its going down when there’s Hulk in the building.
IKEY-boy working on an audiophile’s dream of a setup. At least I wish I had it. heh.
Business, non-stop. That’s how they do.
D#, always playing. No complaining here. That man was sick on that violin! (Video at the bottom)
Millie Forte adding his vocals.
IKEY-boy at the helm. Making this track sound real good.
What can’t you produce with a spray or two of HIP HOP BREEZE?!
Glazed Pork Rillion served on buttermilk butterbeans – wow the combination of the crisped pork/melt in your mouth meat; in combination with the beans… Oh… (i hate to bring religion into this but…) my god.
Schnitzeled Lamb Fries with pickled figs – the vanilla-rye whiskey gastrique (basically, and correct me if I’m wrong, a reduction of vanilla, rye whiskey, and sugar) is drizzled on battered lamb fries. I’d recommend trying them before you find out what they really are.
Thanks to the hard work of Drew Phebus.
…Pani Puri. Basically it’s wheat flour pockets that gets filled with chick pea/spiced water and a liquid that’s been infused with mint and a few other ingredients. REALLY tasty little things that are consumed all in one bite. You eat them as they’re made because otherwise it gets soggy.Eating it as she handed it to me, helped maintain the crisp texture of the outer pocket. Wow. Truly a delightful little meal.
Now I’m not sure what had come over them… to go from this calmed state of mind to a cupcake feeding frenzy, is beyond me. But, it sure was fun to watch and photograph! haha.
Photographers from “Our Labor of Love” were hired for this lovely wedding. Really friendly and you could tell they enjoyed the ceremony as much as the those who were there to celebrate it. Link to their website at the bottom of the post.
“Baati!”
Conversing over a secret wedding olympics… wonder whatever happened to that.
My lovely friend Charito showing off her Mehndi.
This was rather interesting as well. The bride chooses a location, on her hands or feet, to have the husband’s name hidden amongst the Mehndi. A form of hide and go seek, if you will; proves “as an evidence of his sharp eyes and active brain to impress his girl.” -overheard someone say.
models and crew, enjoying a short break.
Paul Hu knows model poses. Enough said.
Okonomi Yaki – Japanese pancake with pork, egg, and vegetables.
Hiyayakko; a chilled tofu dish that’s topped with green scallions, chili radish, and shredded seaweed.
Thinly sliced beef with scallions.
Onigiri; rice shaped in spheres wrapped with seaweed garnished with salmon. Served with pickled plum
Assorted rolls. Mackerel roll on the left; the big roll on the right.
