Ramen

2010-05-18T00:46:00.004-06:00

I just came back from Tokyo. I should have been blogging while I was there, but instead, I posted photos on FB. Little comments about each photo but nothing to really explain. Friends are travelling there soon and they ask me where I ate. really.... I have no idea. some don't have english names. and even if they did, i wouldn't know how to give them directions on how to get there. so here is one place in Shinjuku. Delicious ramen. mmmmm :)

I couldn't read the menu, so my friend Yushi helped me out. Yushi is sort of a mix between Yoshi and Sushi. The best of both worlds. Video games AND food.

Fatty pork Ramen. The pork fat forms a layer on top of the soup and insulates it, keeping the soup hot, so that you can enjoy the chicken karaage. also, pork fat tastes delicious =D

I think it's time to revive this blog

And by now I'm pretty sure that I don't have any followers.

If you do follow, then I am supremely flattered.

Congratulations to the newly engaged couple.
I had the opportunity for a little photo shoot with these two good friends of mine. Wedding date is set for sometime in October. Personally I'm hoping to dress up if it's on the last day of the month.

YES!!!!!!

God is good!
and so are the transit people of Calgary. Thank you for keeping my camera safe.

NO!!!!!!!!!!

Being an idiot, I somehow left my camera on the train last night.

New Business

2008-02-14T11:23:00.002-07:00

Excellent!
So I've been in talks with my brother about starting a business for photography, we've got our name set up, got the business licence, purchased the web domain and contacted a print lab. We're just in the process of setting up the website and I'll post the site info as soon as possible.

In the meantime, here's a couple of sample photos that we printed through the lab. Looks GREAT!

Congratulations to Dr. and soon to be Dr. Ng.
Thanks for letting me take photos of you guys. It's always so much fun hanging out with the two of you.
Working at Kidsphoto has taught me a lot about photographing and photoshopping. This last session was a perfect chance for me to try my best at imitating the KP style.

Track and Field

It's always a pleasure to see friends again. Especially after moving away. This time it was friends from the University of Alberta Track and Field Team. Here's a couple of pictures taken for a calendar project.

Here are a couple from the past outdoor season.

Debbie, it was a real pleasure seeing you again. And this time a five month bundle to play with.
God bless.

Sorry everyone, haven't posted very much recently. and I'll show you why.

That's my room.
Not only did i just move back to Calgary, but my parents renovated the house and there's boxes and random articles and dust everywhere. Stay tuned, and I'll show you that my camera never quit. I've got more from Jas and Simon, my engaged friends Alicia and Jon, some weddings, and a Pet shoot.

This weekend is Godwin and Marie's big day. It's also a big day for myself, Allan, and Sarah as we are the photographers for this 4-day event.

Some buddies of mine and I happened to walk into The Bank Ultralounge one Saturday and bumped into Chris (Taka) my former roommate. He was there as a volunteer with the UofA International Student Centre. Being the start of the new semester, they had organized a night out to help students get to know some new friends from different countries. We were introduced to Mei (aka Rachel), another volunteer with the program.
A week after, I had a photoshoot with Rachel. Check her out on her blog.

WOW! What a busy weekend.
September 08, 2007 marks the marriage of Candice and Daniel Chan. Congratulations, you two! Tear-jerker Award goes to father of the bride. I think I'm gonna start tearing just thinking about it. So we'll move on to the photos. God Bless, guys.

Part II of my weekend was just as fun as. It was a super fun shoot with fellow photographer and brother Allan Tam. We had the opportunity to take some engagement shots of another fellow photographer Sarah and her fiance Nathan. I'm really excited for the CanCun wedding.

Happy Birthday Chris!

2007-09-07T13:30:00.000-06:00

A simple birthday dinner with a small group of friends in the honour of my roommate. We all arrived at Bistro Praha and quite fittingly, Chris strolled through the door last. Like a rockstar after the opening acts. Happy twenty-four, buddy.

GlobalFest '07

2007-08-30T15:45:00.000-06:00

Calgary, Alberta hosts an international fireworks competition each year. Countries featured this year included Mexico, Portugao, and Spain. Unfortunately I couldn't make it to all the shows. I did, however, catch the finale where they announced the winner for GlobalFest 2007: Spain.

Jasmine & Alan

I've got to say that it was quite an experience snapping pictures for the first time at a wedding. July 7, 2007 was a very popular day for weddings. It's the Triple-07 (07.07.07). Though we weren't the official photographers, my friends Jasmine and Alan let my brother (Allan) and myself go wild with cameras blazing at their tea ceremony and banquet. You can check out several of my brother's images at Allan's blog. For my own images, scroll down

I'm sure next year there'll be plenty of weddings on August 08, 2008.

Summer at the Lake

2007-08-16T08:05:00.000-06:00

I had a photoshoot with Joanne and Gloria earlier this summer. But with weddings and a month in Europe, it took me a while to get through these ones. Here's a couple of images from that day.
