July 4th, 2010, Manpreet and Gill’s Engagement Photo Session

Jul 7th, 2010

I was fortunate to photograph Manpreet and Gill’s Enagagement Photos. Manpreet came all the way from Toronto, Canada, to NYC. Gill lives in New York. They both are originally from India. The photo shoot was in the morning of July 4th with very nice weather. This young couple was very nice and photogenic. Congratulations to you two!! (Needless to say, I ran for a BBQ party after the photo shoot. I worked and had BBQ, July 4th was a great day!)

I was fortunate to photograph Puren and Hakan’s wedding last week. They are both from Turkey and their parents and family flew from Turkey for the wedding. Very nice people, even though I was not able to talk to them in their language… The wedding venue was stunningly beautiful. It was on a rooftop of a hotel in Long Island City. The bridge, cityscape, sunset, nightscape, skyline, nice weather, there was everything you want for an outdoor wedding. Congratulations, Puren and Hakan!!

Sandrea and David got engaged! We walked around in the Greenwich Village area in NYC for the engagement photo session. The area has been the main area for their dates. Cafe, NYU area, Washington Square Park, Union Square, the streets, they both loves to read, so we also did a quick photo shoot in a book store. They are having the wedding in July and I am looking forward to it! These are some photos from the photo session.

Jazz Times: Jim Hall and My Grandma

May 20th, 2010

My photos of Jazz Guitarist Jim Hall, Pianist Bill Charlap and Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra at Rose Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, were featured on Jazz Times and some other websites the other day. Jim Hall, I believe, almost 80 years old, sounded good and he reminded me of my grand mother in Japan… My grandma is going to be 94 yeas old in 2 weeks (! 14 years older than Jim Hall !), and loves singing and dancing. She is becoming healthier and stronger each year. Seriously. When I went back to Japan in winter 2 years ago, it was in the middle of terrible flu season and my whole family, starting from dad, then me, sister and my mom, got flu. In fact, the whole Japan was full of people who had flu. My grandma was the only one in the neighborhood who didn’t get flu. She was completely healthy. Oh I forgot I was talking about Jim Hall… Looking at somebody like Jim Hall and my grandma, I thought I should really learn from how they are enjoying their life.

I’ve known Douglas for maybe 5 years now. This is the first time I photograph his portrait (I have shot him hundreds of times during concerts) and I really enjoyed shooting. He might say, ‘you didn’t look like you were enjoying!’, but that’s just how I look when I photograph… I’m enjoying inside. He was happy with the photos so I’m happy, too!

Rachel and Mackie’s engagement photos! I met them a while ago and have been looking forward for this photo shoot!! We walked around the down town, NYC, the High Line, the new trendy spot (?), Chelsea, the Hudson River, etc. Rachel and Mackie looking very nice, walking and chatting ahead of me and me looking very bulky with a camera and 3 or 4 big bags on my shoulder following them. Yes, I am a photographer… Anyway, the photo shoot went very smooth and well. They looked naturally nice and both were good at being in front of camera. I guess it’s because they both are musicians and used to be in front of people. They are going to have a wedding in this fall and I can’t wait to photograph them again!!

I was fortunate to photograph Rosanna and Mac on the other day. They are both architect from Atlanta, GA. I was in Atlanta for a year, so they knew the neighborhood where I lived and I was really glad to talk them. I hope they enjoyed the stay in NYC!! Congratulations on your engagement!!

Sean and Elizabeth; Surprise Engagement

Sean and Elizabeth just got engaged! He was planning a surprise engagement proposal to her. Sean and I had a “secret” meeting in advance and talked about the process of the photo shoot. On the day of the photo shoot, it started to rain a little bit and I was a little worried, because the photo shoot was planned in the evening and if it keeps raining of course it’ll be hard to shoot and also it’ll be dark quicker. When they arrived, fortunately the rain stopped and the sky cleared! Elizabeth looked so happy when he proposed. I am very happy for you two! Congratulations!

This is the first photo on my blog and I wanted to find something that is positive. I love music (maybe not as much as photography, but I really do) and I often photograph music. This year when I was in Savannah, GA, to photograph a music festival, I was impressed by this musician, Roger Day. He is soooooooo goood at playing music for kids!!!! Every single kids in the room was so into his music, words and actions! How cute are they…
