David Jay's Free to Succeed

Yesterday I attending David Jay's Free to Succeed Seminar. It totally ROCK!!! If you haven't hear this man speaks, you better do so. He really made me turn my brain 360 degree.

Jasmine Star was also amazing. Determine is the keyboard to success... and branding is the other of course. heheh!

I also got to meet and chat a few words with Becker. He demo his [B] School to us. Its gonna ROCK!!!!! I cant wait until its officially out.

Kenny Kim was such a nice guy. I email this guy asking him to bring the Boda Bag so i can check it out. Because he was photographing the event, he left the bag with me all night. At the end of the day, i returned it back to him... he responsed. "oh, I totally forgot you had the bag." Now that's trust.

I also got to meet two other photographers Amanda and Lisa.... Have a safe trip home ladies.

Almost forgot to mentioned, my Good Friend Billy boy.

Amanda's Family

Amanda's mom and sister were in town (from Georgia) this past weekend. We didn't do too much because New York City was having a heatwave. OMG it was hot! Sunday, we walked to prospect park, and we almost passed out. Took the train home instead walking back. It was also Dylan's first time taking our subway system. On Monday evening, we did stopped by DUMBO for some Grimaldi's pizza and to check out the NYC Waterfalls.

4th of July Weekend at Washington DC

We went on our first family getaway for the 4th of July weekend to Washington D.C. It was a great trip. We even took our dog Meko with us. Dylan had an awesome time. And for the most part it wasn't too bad travelling with him at all. Here are some shots I took. Didn't get to see too much stuff. For sure we will be visit there again.

My Camera Equipments

Many times I’ve been asked what camera I am using. Do you have this camera? Why didn’t you get this instead? …and blah blah blah. So I have decided to put that in writing to tell you what I have and why, plus as my age is getting older, I am beginning to forget certain things.

Film SLR
1985 - My first SLR camera, the Canon T50.
1989 - Used Canon AE-1
1991 - Canon EOS Rebel S
1994 - Canon EOS 10s
1996 - Canon EOS 1N

Medium Format
2001 – Used Mamiya 645 Pro

Digital SLR
2002 – Fuji S2 Pro
2005 – Canon EOS 20D
2007 – Canon EOS 40D

My Main Equipments
Camera
Canon EOS 40D

I have used a lot of lenses in the past. Most I have sold and some were broken. Here is a list of my current lenses.

Lense
Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6
Canon EF-S 17-55mm f2.8 IS
Canon EF 24-105mm f4 L IS
Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 L IS
Sigma 30mm f1.4 EX DC HSM
Canon EF 50mm f1.4
Kenko Extension Tube set (12, 24, 36)

Flash
Canon EX580 II

Your question is why do I have the 1.6 cropped body (40D) and not a full frame like the Canon 5D or even the latest 1N Mark III. Well the answer is I can not afford it. If I have those cameras, am I going to get better pictures? Of course I will. As a matter of fact, the Canon 5D’s color is just amazing. But my 40D can give me what I want as well. So as long as I can product what I want and better, I really have no need for anything better or expensive at this time. Will I ever buy a full frame camera? Yes, when the time is right. Plus I have a baby to worry about right now. Diapers aren’t cheap.

Thank you.

A New Level

Now that Dylan has been born, it is time to get back into things with my photography stuff. I have been doing a lot of thinking and trying to come up with new ideas with my marketing and the way I do things. I think it is about time for a new change.

From this day on, I will be blogging here more. I normally blog at Xanga.com Well I’m still gonna be doing that, mainly posting pictures of my son. Here I’m gonna be talking a lot more about my photography and the services I provide. So please stop by. Maybe I’ve do a contest with free giveaway. heheh!
