TaiwaneseAmerican.org T-Shirts | San Francisco Portrait Photography
I meant to feature this a long time ago but kept saving it for another day. As some of you may know, in my “other” life, I am creative director and managing editor of TaiwaneseAmerican.org, which supports the Taiwanese American community. Back in August, we did some shoots for TaiwaneseAmerican.org‘s t-shirt line. We had our friends volunteer…

Canon 35mm/1.4 | Gingerbread Houses | Sausalito, California
It was a gorgeous but brisk day when we headed north over the Golden Gate Bridge and into Sausalito. I had with me the brand new shiny beautiful lens I had gifted myself, and I was ready to take it for a spin. Below are some of the first images I ever took with my…

Ice Waterfall in the Desert | Red Rock Canyon, Las Vegas, Nevada
We wove through the scenic drive, driving past the red rocks and stopping at the base of the trails. We didn’t see the albino sheep I was promised (and aren’t they already white?), but we did get to see an awesome icy waterfall that started as just a small stream atop the mountain and spilled…

Out in the Desert | Red Rock Canyon, Las Vegas, Nevada
Thank you so much to everyone for the birthday wishes. I apologize if my phone was off and I was unresponsive to Facebook posts, as was out in the desert for much of the day. A group of at least twenty of us took a brief trip out of Las Vegas to visit Red Rock…

All of the Lights | Las Vegas, Nevada
There are neon lights and sparkling lights and reflections of lights that crowd the strip. This must be America’s playground. Architects get to come and build things that aren’t reasonable or practical by any means, and it all fits right in. Here is a glimpse of where I am for the weekend. An amazing almost-penthouse…

Karina Garcia Li | San Jose Lifestyle Portraits
Red lipstick has a way of pushing you out of your shell and into a different persona. Karina volunteered to be a makeover subject for Ann Ho of Styles by Ann and A-List Makeup, and I was there to do a quick shoot with her afterwards. I love collaborating with other creative people, and working with…

A Single Snow Day
I have fond memories of growing up in Michigan and looking out at the deck to see the feet of snow that piled on top of our picnic table outdoors to form a giant snow cake. Here in San Francisco we’re never really graced with such winter wonderlands. But it’s just as well, because I…

iPad Love
Sometimes people feel bad for us– us December and January babies with our birthdays so close to Christmas. They fear our gifts just get lumped together and/or neglected. But actually, it’s not so bad when you use it to justify even bigger, better gifts… an iPad for instance? Ernie definitely earned a bajillion good boyfriend…
