Last Saturday, I decided to meet up with new friends and walk around Balboa Island to take some photos with them!  I haven’t been there since I went to college at UC Irvine, and I’ve never actually been on the ferry to go over to the pier.

I had an amazing time with my new friends!  See what photography can do?  Bring you closer to people that you would otherwise never meet!  :)

Here are a few shots from that day!  Enjoy~!!

There were lots of people on bikes.  I miss mine!  Maybe I should get one and ride it around Long Beach… :)

This was a tiny thing in front of someone’s front yard… is it a mermaid dolphin flashing a thumbs-up?

So, I guess eating a frozen banana is as MUST here.  How could I say ‘no’ to a MUST?  :p

I love taking photos at sunset and right after the sunset.  The colors are amazing at that time!

Then, we ate at The Boiling Crab!  We had to wait over an hour to be seated, but it was SO worth it!! If you haven’t gone, and you love seafood, you have to go!!  I’ll go with you! LOL

So, here it is.  My first post on this photography blog.  Why did I start a new blog when I already have this one?  I wanted something that marked this big step I’m taking into the world of business in photography.  I wanted a place where I can focus more on photography and let you in on it.  Of course, I’ll still write about what’s happening in my life… how can I resist?  I love to eat, I love to play taiko, I’m married to an amazing guy, I have two funny cats, etc, etc, and these are things that are part of me, just as much as photography is.  So, in posting entries here, I hope that you’ll get to know me, as well as my photography.

I’m working on my website and this blog will have many face lifts along the way, I’m sure.  Let me know if you have suggestions or just leave a comment saying that you were here!!

Thanks for stopping by!  I can’t wait to start this journey and I hope you come with me!

Oh, and make sure to stop by here for more tidbits about me!
