24th Dec. Last day of Dice at SOV

Daisuke went back to Japan. He helped me on bunch of photo shoots when he had spare time. I guess the very first one was FairFax Crew shoot on Fairfax for Warp Magazine, couple years ago.. time flies.
Good luck for his bright future!!

Mini Photo Book Zine

Lots of Projects and I'm so behind..

It's been amazing couple of weeks, since it's so behind from all post process (processing photos, edit--taking lots of time -- then retouch) and focus on it, I haven't been able to blog anything but little by little I'm catching up.. well not really.. but finally I'm blogging for a long time.

Couple weeks ago, I photographed one of LA Graffiti Legend & Amazing artist, Saber, at his studio, then got invited to photograph his latest huge mural project with Shepard Fairley on the wall of "Barracuda" store on Melrose.
 I got tons of footage and have been narrowing down from hundreds of photos to few. Obviously, it's not easy at all for me that I had hard time, tried out different way many time and made myself confuse. which one is the best flow..
  This time, I tried analogue way.. means... not edit so much in computer but after narrowing down like 30, I printed those out on 4x6 size, putting on the wall and look at it many times after different mood at different time. swapping, take some out.. back & forth, Then I started fold them and pretend it's 2x3 size little photo book (zine)... It is a little bit different for me to have actual "book"=turn the page with your finger.
Compare with "looking at computer screen" = publish on the internet, obviously It is different, at the same time, super fresh. I ended up glue all and made little photo book zine, and I'm really enjoying making it, although it's not easy to make it neat..
 I will publish these set of photos pretty soon. Stay in tune!!
