Day 8....we're going going...back back...to cali!

ok, so the title is so corny...what can I do? Running of stuff to say and it's like 2am.....see the dedication? hehe

The day we were coming back was the same day that some strike was going on...so there was some crazy confusion for us about getting back to the airport. Good thing there was this guy from San Jose that was on one of the trains going home as well. He saw our clueless faces and hooked us up with precious information about taking a different train back to the airport. So thank god for him! That guy is a reminder to me to constantly be helpful...even to clueless strangers! I'm definaitely teaching that to megan when she gets bigger :)


ok, train confusion...


looks like a evacuation....


strike action....


yay, back to LA


this plan, henry like.....much less crammed than the one we took going there.

OK, no more paris pictures. I promise. Now back to normal stuff...weddings and such! Thanks for reading :)

Day 7....just chill....

So day 7, we're leaving the next morning so we just basically did nothing...went back to the LV store to get the Jasmine for jenny's sister, and just took our time window shopping on the Champs Elise....the kinda vacation i enjoy!


I get some love from my love! (although that kiss looked kinda icky...i still love you JENNY!)


Dinner


i believe this was a Mojito


Another shot of this old thing...


I had to go!

Day 6...Eiffel Tower....and Mr. Vouitton's store!

Finally, after passing this thing sooo many times on this trip, we're finally visiting it :) The Eiffel Tower, enjoy!


Magnificent view from the ground!


Breath-taking view from the top!


Guess where...


Yup! Too bad Alicia and Byron and Jenny were not liking the price of the ticket to see this show...so I only got pictures from outside.....(henry's somewhat disappointed) :(


But guess who got HOOKED UP!!! We went to the LV store and got the Bowling Bag for Jenny and a Epi Leather wallet for Jenny's sister. After the exchange rate and the tax refund....we practically got the wallet for free!!! kick ass! So we went back the next day to get another purse for her sister :) At least someone wasn't disappointed!

Day 5?...sorry totally lost count by now ;p

Day 5. It started to get REAL cold and windy....kinda like what kinda weather we're having right now in LA (well, maybe less the rain). So after a whole morning and afternoon of walking around the town, Jenny was exhausted and a bit ready to get sick...so she opted to stay at the hotel that night and i went to dinner with byron and alicia. Okay enjoy :)

the Arc de Triumph

making our way up! (while I was there i kept thinking if we can one day shoot a wedding in that city.....it would turn out killer!!!)


hand held shot with our little Canon SD650....sucky countrast...but so much lighter than my XTi


more sexy dramatic clouds....me like so much!


yes, my umbrella sucked...thanks Evelyn!


did I mention it was pretty windy and COLD?...


oh, and in Paris, they have mini street lights...funny!

whoa....we must have been REALLY jetlagged...

last post was March 24, tomorrow will be April 14....so what have been doing the past few weeks? Shooting! and Booking! Two of the favorite things that I get to do with my job :) Then went to Vegas TWICE...no, I don't need help quitting gambling! I was there first time for the WPPI and DWF convention, then just this wednesday was there for the Las Vegas Market for bridal dresses. Just in case you guys don't already know, we're not just a photography place...we have a full line of wedding dresses, evening dresses, chinese traditional gowns, and dresses for prom!

I only shot one wedding since I came back from Paris, but I've shot probably 2 or 3 Sorority Formals from UCI and USC (i think...) Those are pretty fun because I get to shoot lots of young kids that kinda (i said kinda) make me feel young(er). Believe it or not, we have been shooting sorority and fraternity formals from the AGC (Asian Green Council.....don't ask me what that means or stand for...) and when we first started out, we were probably about the same age or younger than much of the people we were shooting, but now........ <> I still feel like i'm young like them...but then i realize that I'm daddy now, much much older...

Anyhow...enough babbling...I will gather up the remaining pictures from my Paris trip and post them up ASAP because I've got other cool pictures to show you guys!
