I HAVE A NEW BLOG!

Hello everyone!  I would like to announce my new BLOG! I have been working deligently to get it off the ground.  I am probably still going to keep this old blog here for a while, however,  I will not be updating it.  So if you get a chance just head on over and check it out.  Thanks!

Cooper…the big 4!

This past Sunday was a special day in the Tran’s family. It’s the day our son Cooper turned the big 04. So we had a birthday bash for him at Chucky’s. How time flies? I can still remember his very first birthday. Then fast forward to now he is turning four and starting preschool. It’s moment like this that makes me realize how important it is to spend your life wisely and to spend where it matters most. I would also like to take this opportunity to thanks my wife who is responsible for the most part in raising such a spunky child-o-mine. Happy birthday Coop!

wpja contest…one lucky image placed!

WPJA Q4 2007 Contest Results just came out today and I feel so blessed to have one of my images placed in the “Humor” category. Many thanks to Jenny, Nick and family for making this image possible.

A nice surprise…

Woke up this morning to check my email and I was pleasantly surprise to find out that I was placed 9th in the quarterly contest held by the AGWPJA (Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association) under the “Engagement Portrait” category. Just want to share my excitement. It’s going to be a good day! Happy Hump Day everyone!

Shootshop…The Image is Found!

I was lucky enough to be 1 of 16 photographers to attend the Shootshop with Nate and Jaclyn at The Image is Found last Wednesday. It was quite a memorable experience. I was touched by how open, honest, and passionate Nate and Jaclyn feel toward their craft. I also had an opportunity to meet and talk to some really awesome photographers in our group. I haven’t felt this inspire since photography school. Thank you Nate and Jaclyn for taken us in with open arms and not afraid to show us some really cool tricks.

Here is Nate doing an impression of someone who just swallowed his gum

Thank you David and Natalie for being such good sports and beautiful.

For lunch, Nate and Jaclyn had KFC delivered to us via location. Just kidding! This poor guy was just an innocent bystander.

Here is the cool couple in action.

I love this shot of Nate and Jaclyn framed by Mariano’s sweet fro in the left corner.
