HaHaHaHa!!!!!!




Here's a photo that will be use for my advertising. :D




The cutiest monkey ever.




Guess we found the one he wanted...




Thank you.

New Bags

I don't like it when people know I am carrying a camera. So about two years ago, I purchased a Crumpler 7 million dollar home. It was a great bag, hold a lot of gears.... But I also find my shoulder hurting after a long day carrying it. So after some heavy research and also being at the PPE, I found the bag i want. Its the Kata 3N1-20 Sling Backpack. I love the bag. Looks cool. Well built and padded. And Amanda love it too. :D. Now I just need to play around and try to set it up to my liking.



I also got the Boda Bag. It's a lens bag. Works great while shooting weddings, especially when I normally shoot with one body.




I did get to sell the Crumpler 7 to another photographer from one of the forum I visit sometimes. Thanks Sarah.

So now I have total of three bags, the third being the Lowepro Vertex 200 AW. Great bag for when I need have all my gears. I am thinking about getting another smaller under $50 bag for few flashes I will be investing later. We'll see what happen.

My buddy Bill also purchased the same bags I got, as well as selling his crumpler 7 which I helped. Now if we work together again, we're gonna look like twins. Just like the movie Twins. Guess I don't need to tell you who I am. Hahaha!

Domain Name

When I first started photography, I didn't want to use my name, so a friend and I came up with JKLIMAGERY, JKL being my initinal. I purchased the domain name in 1998 I believe and never looked back. Hmmm, i think next year it's time for renewal

All my life, people has always called me "John Lo" instead of just John. Later I started to introduce myself to other as John Lo.... I even go as far as spelling it as one word, johnlo. Hahaha! I have no idea why or how that came about. It's not like the people I know that i hang out with were name John.

In the last five years, I've been branding myself as John Lo Photography. And since johnlo.com is taken, I decided and finally purchase johnlophotography.com.

You can now use www.johnlophotography.com as well as www.jklimagery.com to access my website. For now both names will see the same stuff. Later I will make it into two different site, one for the wedding business and the other just my portfolio gallery.

There is only one johnlo, so it only means one 'johnlo photography'. He's a short Asian guy from new york with a beautiful family and a HUGE heart. :D. So if anybody else out there using johnlo photography, that's not me.

Photo Plus Expo in New York

Attending PPE has always been a yearly thing for me. One of my college buddy, Victor works for the Renaissance Albums and it's always nice to see him there. This year was a little different attending PPE. Maybe its because I really got into wedding photography much more then I have in the past.

Lisa drove to NYC with her daugther, Raquel from Ohio to attend the PPE and and of course to see David Jay again. :D I did hang out with the both of them. Fun people to hang with!!! The last time when DJ was in town, I didnt get to take a picture with him, so this time I made sure I got one. Thanks Lisa for taking the picture of us. Look! DJ aint that tall comparing to me. :D



I also had the honor to meet one of the best wedding photographer in the world, Joe Buissink. This guy's stuff is amazing. And listening to his story and seeing some of his images just make me tear. This guy is truly a great artist.



Thanks Lisa for taking these pictures for me.

Dawn Davis has been following my xanga blogs for years - my engagement with Amanda, then our wedding, and now little Dylan. So of course I had to go meet her in person. We chat about family and about Dylan. It was nice talking with Dawn. and of course it was fun just hanging and finally meeting her in person. I am just sad that I forgot to have a picture taken with her. I guess it will have to be done the next time we see each other. Of course I did listen to Bob Davis when he was showing us about Canon E-TTL flash. Thanks Bob. and Nice to meet you too Marie Monte. :) Dylan said "Hi Dawn"

Oh, I cant forget Bill Eng. This guy was sick Friday morning. He txt me to inform me that he cant get out of bed, cuz of 24 hour flu. But after me texting him all morning telling him what they have on the showroom, he decided to show up for few hours. and because of him, i ended up spending money on Boda Bag. :D WOOHOO!!!!

I also bummed into Kenny Kim a few times walking around. He is such a cool guy. Next time I need to hang out with him. I did see a few other photographers who I dont know, but know who they are... and also because they are on my facebook. heheh! Like Gustavo Fernandez, he was updating his status on FB about J Garner speaking while I was standing next to him listen to J Garner too. hehehe!!!!

------------------

I got Dylan a new car seat... Thank god he loves it. because he's gonna be sitting on that for the next 4 to 5 years. heheh!
