Glutinous Corn
As a photographer you tend to be a pretty visual person already. I'm constantly analyzing visual details in my head. Sometimes the visual analyzing hits a roadblock and the answer is WTF?
Such was the case of this obscure product I found at our local Asian market. Glutinous Corn.

WTF
I've never seen it before. I have no idea how to cook it.
So I bought it. It's wrapping is a product photographers worst nightmare.
What I do when I’m not photographing or working

It aligns everything within me.

New look for the blog

I have migrated my photography blog over to WordPress from Blogger. It was long over due. It's still a work in progress but so far I'm very pleased with WordPress. If you have problems viewing this blog, please let me know.
Personal Project: floating wine
Continuing with my wine themed photos series, I present a bottle of wine floating above a sea of corks.
I've had this photo in my brain for quite some time. I've been collecting corks for some kind of photo for a couple years now without really knowing what I was going to do with them. Then it hit me to combine the floating shot with my huge box of corks. I hot-glued about 400 corks to a piece of black foam core board as the base. It took me a while to figure out a method to elevate the wine bottle when it suddenly hit me. Just glue some corks to the bottle.
Stryker wine is also one of my absolute favorite brands of wine. Sarah and I had the luxury of visiting the Stryker Winery last August and knew instantly that their wine is special. So special, we ordered a case to be shipped back. This wine simply melts in your mouth.
These shots are a larger scale and similar to my floating nut shot. 
Want to see the set up for this shot?

Thanks for looking. Feel free to comment!
Lori & James Engagement Session
James is one of my very closest friends and perhaps one of the funniest persons I have ever met. I was flattered to take some photos to mark his engagement to his beautiful girlfriend Lori.
I put together a flash show of all the photos James and Lori took home with them using music they provided. Congratulations James and Lori.

I am taking reservations for 2010 portrait sessions. Just give me a shout.
