Dead Blog! Dead Blog!

I have to say I've been a rather bad blogger lately. But at least it's for a good reason! I had a booth at both Bridal Showcase San Jose on January 18th and Bridal Showcase Stockton on January 25th. It kept me busy, and I'd like to thank everyone who stopped by to browse my photos or just to register for a chance to win their wedding photography. I have another show coming up: Bridal Expo on Sunday, February 8th at the Radisson Hotel Sacramento. Brides will have one more chance to win their wedding photography, so stop by! Hope to see you there!

A Whole New Me!

I took Mitche Graf's advice when he said, "You should have a logo, not a font."  So here I am.  The lotus is one of the main Buddhist symbols.  It rises from the mud to become a beautiful flower, and represents the blooming of our true nature.  The red lotus in particular symbolizes the original nature of the heart (hrdaya).  It is the lotus of love, compassion, passion, activity and all the qualities of the heart.  This is both what photographing is for me, and what I can see in people and give back to them through my images.  I show them the beauty of themselves.

Happy New Year!

I like to think of resolutions not so much as tasks (lose 10 pounds, keep the house cleaner, be on time more often), but as greater opportunities to stretch myself beyond my comfort zone.  This year, I will live more courageously, and I will follow the advice of Eleanor Roosevelt:  "Do one thing every day that scares you."
