Everyday I leave my home I see pass this little outfit that is stuck to our steel door with magnets (that was Hyun Mi's MacGyver-ish idea!). I can't wait to dress her in them but considering they were made high in the mountains of Kathmandu they might be a little hot for the 28 degree weather we're experiencing here at the moment. A big thanks to Dad and Sylvia for this gift. You'll be able to meet your grandchild sporting this garb come Christmas!

100715-Cento's Bed Frame.jpg
Making a bed frame look cool is harder than I ever anticipated. For a guy who would like to shoot kick-ass product shots for a living, I better get in touch with reality. But first get a little cheese because I'm gonna wine:
1. Cento asked me to shoot this with less than a day's notice
2. I had to do it after work so it was dark
3. The item was large an cumbersome so my location choices were either in the cluttered shop or outside but I lacked the gear to light it sufficiently
4. The corridor I shot it in was very tight
Regardless, these are the kind of circumstances I should expect so I better figure out how make the best of them in the future.

100714-Photography Ad
This is something I've been meaning to do for a looooonnnnngggg time. It's funny how you put off the things that cold be most immediately beneficial to you.
I know a ton of you have a great eye for this kind of thing so please do leave some commentary/critiques regarding the design and photo choices.
One more thing, I live in a relatively small Korean town home to the world's second largest ship building company, DSME. As a result, a disproportionally large group of foreign workers reside here. I am targeting foreign families and contractors focusing on family, product, baby and corporate photography (a lot a know, but I wanna throw a bigger net out there to begin). I want to use my native English tongue and western perspective to set myself apart from the local talent.

100712-Our first outting
Yesterday I mentioned how Chaka basically eats, burps, poops and sleeps day in and day out thus leaving me not a whole lot new to report on. Well today was a milestone! Chaka and I had our first outing since she left the hospital. We needed to pay a visit to the doctor so I filled my cargo shorts with diapers, a bottle of formula, baby wipes and medical logs and then set out with her tucked snugly into her Moby wrap.
Chaka was an angel, she was either looking around or sleeping the whole time -- aside from when she had a needle jabbed in her arm. In fact, things were going so smoothly I decided to pick up another wash basin and stop for a coffee on the way home.
This lighting set-up was inspired by Dracubio's photo. Although it's not really fitting for this theme it was cool to try it out.
ps. She gained over a kilo and grew 13 cm in just 23 days!

100710-Playing
Every now and then when Chaka isn't hungry, tired or covered in poop she will just lie there high on the world around her. This was one of those moments.

100709-These feet were made for walk'n.jpg
This is Chaka's foot. I wish I had more to say. All she really does is eat, burp, poop, cry and sleep right now and reporting on that gets old pretty fast. No rush though, soon enough I'll be documenting how she chewed my camera strap and spilled juice all over my keyboard.

100628-Production is High
Hyun Mi extracted 120ml in one sitting! The ironic part is that her hand worked far better than the breast pump. In fact, we'd be pumping the left breast and getting nothing, meanwhile the right one is dripping like a leaky faucet! Theme:
