A Weekend's Worth of Photos

Yes, as the title reads, it was definitely a great weekend's worth of photography, having started it off with a photo shoot of some friends of mine in a sketch group called 18 Mighty Mountain Warriors (www.18mmw.com). These guys (and group) are some of the most talented of Asian sketch comedy artists around, plus, they are all around great people! Here's a shot from our session:



Saturday was even more festive as I was invited to our good friends' Marc and MJ's wedding. Ah, L'Amour! Such a beautiful day and wedding for two awesome and super talented people. I was fortunate enough to be a part of the whole day by being asked to sing in their wedding choir - great times! A day I'm sure none of us will forget. They're off to Austria and Italy now - so have fun guys and congrats again!



Lastly, today was the Nisei Week Parade here in LA, and they had a special addition to this year's festivities in the Nebuta Float, sent all the way from Japan along with a couple hundred of their handles and revelers! It was awesome! The float itself is lit up at night, and pushed around by about 40 people while intricately dressed float members dance and chant in front of it. You had to be there to believe it! It was such a great experience and an awesome sight; thanks to the people of Japan and Nebuta for sharing their float with us!


So there it is, a sampling of some of the stuff I shot this weekend. Hope you guys enjoy it, and for those of you reading this (all ONE of you I'm sure), be sure to drop me a comment and let me know what you think of the photos and thoughts!

Have a great upcoming week :)
