In the meantime, I’d like to share some pictures I took recently. It has been a long since I photographed wildlife. I don’t have the long bazookas (that’s what I liked to call long zoom lenses). So when I was there, I was flabbergasted by all these bazookas other wildlife photographers were using. 500mm, 600mm, 1.5 extender and what not.

I only had my trusty 200mm. Most of these pictures were cropped but I liked how it turned out.
Enjoy.

FYI: Migratory snow owls at Boundary Bay, Delta.

Have a great holidays folks! Celebrate life with your family and close friends. They are worth it.

This is something I tried with my daughter at Coronoda Beach in San Diego. Captioning it on your printed album will be an added bonus!

But alas, the Dark Side doesn’t win. Daughter gave Mom a Jedi kick and sent Mom sprawling. As Yoda says, “Size matters not, … Look at me. Judge me by size, do you?”

Try something crazy for your vacation photos. Heck! Try it on any day

We spent 10 days of fun, tiring, a little stressed up vacation in So. Cal. The kids got out from school for 8 days and spent their birthdays each in Disneyland and Legoland. It’s our first time to So. Cal and what’s not to like about there except the crazy freeway traffic and exepensive food in the parks. Weather-wise, every day was perfect except for the last two rainy and windy days. I didn’t mind it so much as long as the sun is up again and temperature hits the high 20s.

I’ve been spending time laundering (wished it was extra money but it’s all dirty clothes from vacation), cleaning the house, and getting the kids to finish up 8 days of homework over the long weekend.

Time to have some coffee (too bad no Cheesecake Factory Upside Down Pineapple cheesecake – have you guys tried it? Isn’t it out of this world lovely??) and quiet time before the kids are back from school.

These days, businesses tend to go all out with not just a website, a blog but on social media like Twitter, Facebook and whatever. You can see that I neither have a Twitter or Facebook of my business. I do have my own personal accounts. So what does that say about me? For one, I’m not good at expanding my business. My arguement is I’m not looking to expand. I just like doing what I do – take pictures when any one wants my service. I take up projects that interests me (I’m announcing one later!). Sure! If my family had to depend on me for money, we would be probably out on the streets. I don’t cheapen my rates just because I don’t photograph as frequent as someone who fills up their days with lots and lots of cheaper sessions.

I’m good at what I do and that’s what I charge.

Not sure why I’m ranting about that. I guess that issue has been buried deep within me, something or someone triggered it and I’m getting it out.

Day was cloudy. Lighting wasn’t that great at their place but I had to make it work.

I made and sent her a 11″ x 15″ photo book since I haven’t sent her any prints for a long, long time. Well, if she knows how to use a computer, it wouldn’t be that long. Anyway, yes, she loves it. She wasn’t expecting a huge book either!

In my package, a 8″ x 8″ photo book is included. I think that’s a very good size to bring along anywhere to brag about your session. I am thoroughly in love with this 11″ x 15″ book as well. Maybe a good option upgrade? You decide!

The product is offered from the US and sadly, the shipping costs to ship it across the border is high. Because it’s such a personal product (your own pics on the box), it’s just too expensive for me to offer it. Add the UPS extra charges and duties, this little box is going to knock a big chunk of $$ from your bank account.
