Hi everyone

If you've managed to reach this far to my blog through my website.. I'm sorry to say that I'm experiencing some extreme technical difficulties with my website.

I'm working on getting it back as soon as possible! Please visit again... as this issue will be wrinkled out shortly!

Thank you :)

A Great Find - Any Bag Camera Bag Insert

As I'm planning my upcoming New Orleans + NYC trip this spring, I've been looking really hard to find a nice (but compact!) camera bag to house my DSLR. I already have a Lowepro camera backpack that fits all my gear nicely but when travelling, I would prefer to not carry a bag that screams "DSLR + lens in here!"

I stumbled across the Photojojo's Any Bag Camera Bag Insert and I'm convinced this bag will fit my needs!



This bag easily turns your existing purse, tote bag, messenger bag into a camera bag. Slip it in and you're done! :) The Any Bag Camera Insert also contains five exterior pockets to hold other various goodies, soft padded lining to protect your precious, and doesn't add extra weight/bulk to your existing bag.




This is such a great idea that solves numerous problems... at least for me. I can now bring my MEC backpack and a purse to this trip... and best of all, I don't have to wrap my DSLR in a tshirt!

Ralph Lauren - Fall 2011 Collection

Ralph Lauren recently unveiled his Fall 2011 collection and it is gorgeous! Like his other collections, this line is sophisticated and timeless.




This collection is heavily influenced by 1930s, Art Deco and Chinese glamour. The common elements for this collection are sophistication and intricate detailing. Although many of his designs are black, they are complemented with a beautiful accent piece - be it red lacquer heels, silky fabric, dramatic fabric cuts or intricate jeweling on a belt.



How dramatic and beautiful.

Google Art Project

The Google Art Project is a wonderful collection showcasing some of the best art museums such as MoMa in New York City. Using the Street View technology, the Art Project enables users to explore these spaces and works of art in the comfort of their home.



With an easy-to-use interface, the Google Art Project is an invaluable tool for those seeking information on the selected pieces. Users are able to select a piece, zoom up and pan the artwork. The detail and quality is incredible! (I love Edgar Degas and I was excited to see "Swaying Dancer" a featured piece!)



Although an online experience doesn't compare to a real visit, I think it's a wonderful alternative for those seeking to explore the treasures in these galleries. And for some, it can serve as a reminder to visit their local art gallery and museums...

Psst, I'm looking forward to spending an afternoon at the AGO :)

EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY - Birthday Party

A few months ago, I photographed a large birthday celebration in Richmond Hill. The food was delicious and the people were wonderful. The restaurant lighting was questionable and I really prefer photographing without flash, so I had to have a reliable, fast set of lens. I used the Canon 50mm Prime lens, which helped me capture some really great photographs despite the low-lighting.





Posed portraits didn't seem very fitting for this birthday party, so I opted to photograph the event with a documentary style. There were lots of candids but I felt this was the best way to capture a large, enthusiastic crowd. It was truly a great experience to be there!

Saja Bridal Dresses

There are 3 words to describe Saja's bridal dresses: light, feminine and charming. Designed by Yoo Lee in New York, this bridal collection contains simple yet endearing dresses. 

Personally, I'm swooning over this dress! I love the coupled fabrics, layering and empire waist.

I'm designing a cute, fun piece for myself.

I just started it and I really can't wait to finish it! I wonder why I never thought about doing this before...
