Fire TIme

I shot a fire at the Ventura River bottom a few weeks ago.

After climbing through a drainpipe under Highway 33 to get to the fire

(completely unnecessary but fun), I had a blast shooting the fire.

Here are a few shots.

Nasty drainpipe...

Local kids helping put out fiery ashes.

I have been shooting portraits the last few days just for fun... this is my favorite one.

Yoko

This is a picture story I shot on Yoko Tatsuta, a woman who coordinates the visit to the USA for international students for EF Educational Homestays Program. She spent months planning for the 3 weeks her group of Chinese students would be here. Her dedication to this job stems from her passion to help international students bridge the culture gap between countries. An international student herself, Yoko came to the USA when she was around 20 and is now studying to be a high school counselor for international students. 

I had fun shooting this story, here are the images and multimedia. 

Normandy D-Day Beach

I came across some old photos I shot several years ago with my old 35mm Sigma at the Normandy D-Day Beach. It was a perfect foggy/rainy day for visiting this area.

PDX Airport

I love shooting in PDX because of the beautiful light. I took these while waiting to board my flight back to Burbank yesterday evening.

Ka Nee Ta Posse Trip

I went to Ka Nee Ta, a hot springs resort on a Native American Reserve in Oregon with my four best friends. We had a good time to say the least.
