Nisei Portraits | Personal
I went to downtown LA today for the Nisei Week Parade and took a few portraits of some of the attendees. Everyone was super nice...
Long Beach Grand Prix | Personal
Each year, the city of Long Beach holds a tradition...the ever so popular Long Beach Grand Prix. Basically, they convert the city streets into a 1.96 mile race track for an Indycar race. Danica Patrick, the crowd favorite, started close to the end (position 22 out of 23), and while she was able to climb to second, she ended up finishing the race in fourth place. The UK's Dario Franchitti ended up winning the race.
Special thanks to my good friend Abhi for letting us trash his condo (and the lovely Susan for the yummy food).
The view from the balcony is breathtaking...

Capturing this image made my day. It happened randomly when driving home, I noticed the beautiful light pouring over the scene...I had to stop and take some photos.
The Photographer Community | Personal
What better way to improve your photography than to meet with photographers passionate about what they do...
Thanks to Paul Manke and Pictage for hosting the Long Beach Pictage User Group and to Michael Costa for the awesome presentation.
Bridge Fest | Personal
Every year, the Bridge magazine in Torrance holds a special event to celebrate the Japanese culture. Arriving at the parking structure, you can immediately smell the aroma of good Japanese food. Anytime that happens, you know you will have a good time. Below are my two favorite shots from the day.
Little Tokyo | Personal
I went to Little Tokyo this past Sunday for the annual Cherry Blossom Festival. Festivals are great for photojournalistic-style photography since there are always a good variety of people who show up. During this excursion, I decided to challenge myself and go against everything that is known as "discreet photography."
Palos Verdes | Personal
Palos Verdes is a beautiful place. During Spring, when the wild flowers are blooming, this place looks absolutely amazing.
On the way to dinner over the weekend, I decided to head to PV and take the scenic route. Here are some shots from one of the stops overlooking the coast.
