Showcase People Photography

Lovely Old Couple

How lovely these old couples are? I was taking a photowalk in San Francisco, CA. These two old people walked slowly crossing the street with holding hands. This is so far the most romantic photo I’ve ever take other than the “Two of US” photo.

My wife and I have been together for over 23 years. We still have long way to go, but I would love to take her hand and travel around the world just like these two lovely couples.

There is a new photography trick I am practicing. I don’t know what it is called, but I would like make the focused subject look like a tiny toy. I got this photo at Cabo San Lucas in Mexico. When our cruise ship leave the harbor, Mexico Federation solider are stand by and check up with any illegal activities. So I snap this shot and used Photoshop magic to blur the sea water around the little boat. The boat is not the primary subject in the photo and stand out from the rest of the sea water. It somehow looks tiny.

I am not sure if you can see it the same way, but this won’t be the last phone I will do to minimize the object.

Thanks to Kristi from Photostry.com! This type of photography is called Tilt-Shift Effect.

Really. Fishing alone isn’t my thing. However, I can go hiking in the mountain or jungle alone. Fishsing just isn’t my interest. I bet this guys has a lot to think about when he is fishing. This photo was taken at the Saguaro lake in Mesa, AZ.

I like this photo, because the reflection of the lights and rich color of the shirt. What do you think?

I really like photos of Kids, because they are so innocent. Their facial expression often made me smile. They are the future. I took my niece Jassie’s photo at my uncle-in-law’s big house in LA in 2006. She is such a sweet baby and laugh maker. I do believe she will rule the world one way or the other. There are several shots in this post.

Which one you like most?

Jessie Rules

The following photo just make me laugh. She looks like the boss of big corporation. She rules everything. 🙂 This is my favorite one!

What a happy boss, isn’t she? She said “Let’s get the profit report. We are doing very well this year. You all are making me very happy!” 🙂

Once again, she proves she got the talent, skills and power to rule the world.

She is also very creative. She can play piano too!Jessie and Piano

All these photos are taken by my old Nikon D70S with flash light. I am really happy about the result. Without any retouching or adjustment, they looks fantastic. I was not really seriously interested in portrait photography until I got the Nikon SB-600 Speedlight flashlight.

Again, which photo do you like most?

Sheriff On the Train

This is an accident shot when we took the train to Grand Canyon, Arizona. He is actor who play the sheriff who is trying to catch the robberies. He came suddenly before I was ready to take a shot. So his face was cut off, but that make this photo so special. I was surprised that he looked at me and say “Shoot me!” Ok. I got it. So I pickup the camera and shoot.

The Future

This is the first human photo on this blog. He is my nephew. We took him for a ride to the rawhide in Phoenix. We were eating our breakfast at nearby MacDonald. I like this photo because of the way he looked at the camera. He is a very smart kid, but we know we have to give me the best education and role model to ensure his bright future!

We love the innocent look on the kid’s face. We feel bad that kid starts losing their innocent when they grow up into adulthood.

Can we really go back to the past and pick up our long lost innocent? I hope so.

Two Of Us

Isn’t this photo lovely? “Give Me A Kiss In Action.” My wife and I went to Big bear lake, CA for a long winter trip. This is a perfect scene for two of us! Taken with Nikon D70S.
