Elsie the Dog groomer

Had to do a shoot for my environmental portrait assignment and im so lucky to have gotten a dog groomer.  why? because Elsie is the most accommodating, nicest and genuine person I've met in my life.     If i had a dog i would definitely bring them to her.  Its so funny, she told me how she became a dog groomer.  She migrated from cuba (i think) several years ago, and she first wanted to be  teacher.  But she had to go through hoops just to get her certification and learn english really well.   On her part time while trying to get a job she took care of dogs of neighbors...and she would talk to the dogs with her broken english and they did not care. So she decided to be a dog groomer coz dogs dont care if you cant speak english well, they will love you no matter what.

Graffiti = Art

You find Art in the most weird places. I was driving to SF and I saw this graffiti "art" and i just had to stop and tak a picture of it.  I just love how the colors pop up and how the light is like a spot light on the train.

Wedding Rings

When I shoot weddings, i try to make it a point to shoot the wedding rings as unique as possible. I look around what i can use, or sometimes I bring props that would go well with the rings.  I've always been fascinated on how couples choose their rings.  They can go from the simplest design to the most elaborate settings. When my fiance was choosing her ring, whenever she asks me if its nice...i'd ask first, how much? if it was reasonably priced,  it nice!! =)
