Sylvia a family friend, asked me to photograph her glass art work. Thinking it would be a snap I quickly agreed. I found out the hard way that shooting glass is really difficult. Her work is beautiful so I wanted to do it justice. The wave sculpture below would not accept any side light as …

Grandma Maeda
While she passed away back in November we finally put Grandma Maeda to rest. She made it to 102, which is incredible these days. Sadly it was probably the last time we will all get together. I did not feel right taking photos at the funeral, as it just feels too morbid. Afterwards we put …
Livermore Wines
Paul & Brenda invited us to go wine tasting in Livermore. We have never been there so we jumped at the chance. Murrietta’s Well was our first stop. On to Wente. We had to get past Hank though (major dogmeat). Lunch was at Uncle Yu’s. And finally Tenuta Wines.
Wedding Bells ♫
This past Saturday we witnessed the wedding of Mary Ann (Bunny) & Quan. The ceremony was at the Five Wounds Church. It was a full catholic mass… in Vietnamese. Not wanting to step on the hired photog toes I only shot a couple. Reception was held at the Dolce Hayes Mansion.

Easter 2014 – Noah’s Birthday
Easter at the Yuen’s. Chris fried up 85 lbs chicken & I didn’t even get a photo of it. I was too focused on the kids.
NYC 2014
We took a train from Greenwich to Grand Central Station (forgot to take a photo). Paz met us and immediately whisked us to their favorite Thai Restaurant, Sripraphai. We consumed a whole fried fish & with fishy breath we jetted off to the Queens Museum to watch a press conference where Mayor Bill de Blasio …
