Decided (for kicks) to take pictures for Bridgeen’s Christmas cards again this year. With the weather being so unpredictable in the northeast during this time of year (and after braving the strong wind and cold last year, also making her do a lot of things she’s uncomfortable with like touching trees that she’s allergic toContinueContinue reading “Portrait Session – Bean’s Christmas 2018”

Portrait Session – Bridgeen
Earlier this week my friend had been trying to order Christmas cards but realized she hadn’t taken any Christmas photos yet. We very quickly set up a time a couple days later to do a shoot. The weather was unseasonably warm (and sunny) for late November, but also happened to be incredibly windy by theContinueContinue reading “Portrait Session – Bridgeen”
Hope is the Anthem
I remember the moment when I first started listening to Switchfoot – it was one of the family trips in the summer of ’05 as we headed down to Philly. My brother had made a mix CD for the road trip for our Walkmans (remember those?), and there were a couple tracks that were songsContinueContinue reading “Hope is the Anthem”
Reviews – Spiderman: Homecoming, Baby Driver, & Dunkirk
Last week I watched 3 movies, and while I fully intended on sitting down to write more thought-out and extensive reviews, I decided that if I don’t do this now I will probably forget the initial feelings I had coming out of the theater. So in lieu of a more well-written entry, here’s a quick,ContinueContinue reading “Reviews – Spiderman: Homecoming, Baby Driver, & Dunkirk”
Searching for Home
I’m about two months late on this recap, but things just picked up so quickly as soon as I returned to New York from my travels that I never got the chance to sit down and write anything longer than a social media post about it. Over the course of 3 weeks, my journeys tookContinueContinue reading “Searching for Home”

Pavements
When I was in high school I hated running distance. During practices, the entire softball team would do almost anything to get out of taking laps: sprints over laps; suicide drills over miles. If we did somehow end up taking to the tracks, at any given moment when coach wasn’t looking, someone would undoubtedly beContinueContinue reading “Pavements”
“Leftover Women” of China
I don’t often identify myself as a person of Chinese descent, because there’s such a complicated history between mainland China and Taiwan. To be completely honest, I spend very little of my time thinking about being an “Asian American” because of how little that identity actually influences me, yet I feel that having spent my formative yearsContinueContinue reading ““Leftover Women” of China”
Portrait Session – Angelica
Yesterday I got the chance to help my best friend shoot some portraits after she chopped off 12 inches of her hair. I am an amateur by all means, but it was fun to boss her around her yard and tell her what to do. Needless to say, I’m actually pretty content with the results.
5 of My Favorite Women
In honor of International Women’s Day (March 8th), here is a short list of my personal favorite female characters in literature, film, and television (in no particular order). Jean-Louise “Scout” Finch, To Kill a Mockingbird, & Go Set a Watchman Having just finished Go Set a Watchman recently (against my own better judgement), I am reminded ofContinueContinue reading “5 of My Favorite Women”
