I’m very lucky to work in such a beautiful city.

I visited South Korea in one of my recent trips. This land of my ancestors felt largely foreign to me. I accompanied my father and grandfather on a road trip to seek out the roots of our family name. There was quite a bit of rain and dreariness between bursts of sunshine; the ability to withstand bad weather must be buried somewhere in my genes…

I was in China a few weeks ago to visit family and see the Shanghai Expo. It was a quick and very hectic trip. I haven’t done much traveling in China, despite having spent half of my childhood there. Beijing is a city I would love to explore further in the future…especially for all the interesting cuisine it has to offer. They’re definitely interesting to look at, though personally I would never dare to try scorpions or baby sharks!

Here’s the video Scott and I made for my company’s Mother’s Day campaign! Check it out and favorite it! Shot on 5D Mark II with Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 and Canon 85mm f/1.8 lenses. Watch it in HD if you can!

Taking a stroll down Sunset Blvd at night can be interesting. Hollywood has its own visual language.

This past Sunday, I had the pleasure of coordinating a commercial shoot to promote Mother’s Day brunches in Downtown LA. We met many helpful and friendly restaurant staff and chefs. The food, needless to say, all looked amazingly beautiful and almost too good to eat. But we did succumb at the end of the day and pig out a little. I will post more photos and information as the video and the campaign progress!

How have you celebrated Mother’s Day in the past? Have you gone to any especially memorable Mother’s Day brunches?

Except this wildcat’s natural habitat is more like the couch. We occasionally let her out in the front garden. The backyard is way too “wild” for her and for us to handle…
