Wednesday, May 3. 20062006.04.30: New haircut, new photos, new photographerHi, Leanna. Sorry for being so bitchy during most of this shoot. Please forgive me. I like the photos that you shot and find them . . . amusing. Thank you. - K  I rarely pose for a photo . . . this shoot is a rare opportunity to get a good look at the person usually behind the photos on this site. All photos in this entry shot by Leanna with the D2X and 70-200/2.8 VR on a monopod.  I have no modeling aspirations but my curiousity about what it's like to be on the other side of the lens with a human operating the camera became too much to bear so I had to try it out.  Our little shoot seemed to have attracted the attention of pot-toting self-proclaimed street kids. They all wanted their photo taken by our "hot photographer".  Photographer: Leanna (taking votes for whether she should be shooting D2X, D200, or something else) "Model", fashion- and hair-styling, RAW workflow: Klyment Haircut: Barb at Shanti . . . to be honest, I was quite apprehensive about the hair cut at first, especially considering it was my first haircut of the year. But now I really like it. Clothing: Coat - Versace, shirt - Xacus, tie - Altea, pants - Omega (made to measure clothing company in Montreal), cuff links - Tateossian . . . all once available at Derks but not anymore. Shirt and tie are about two years old, pant cut has apparently been "updated" and the coat is now last season. Not that I care. I still want to make a gag model portfolio and put it online somewhere. I think I'll try it without a makeup artist even though I insist on a makeup artist for most of my work with people. A big thank you to Dong for introducing me to this location, by far my most-used outdoor location for shooting. Comments

Heheh, you're welcome to request that she shoot with you in June.
By then she should have her own camera though she'll likely still be using my lenses and I'll be helping with lighting. Anyway, I'm glad that I seem to be off to a good start.

LOL . . . quit mocking me; I thought you were my friend!
It's going well . . . and I sent you an e-mail with the contact info you're looking for. Consider carefully what I told you last morning. Ironically, it's (or "he's") the identical reason why you didn't recommend me to go to Reeltime.

Hey... I stumbled across this and it made me think... I'm studying photography, but well... Its kinda hard to say where I'm at... but with a dream of being a photographer and asian parents who shoot it down, its kinda hard, but finding your little blog has made me feel somewhat optimistic... I guess you can say that you're an inspiration to someone with little hope as of the moment... I don't know if you'll ever get this, but if the chance is given, I'd like to hear how you started off. I'd be grateful to hear from a fellow asian ^^. Anyway, take it easy...

James, thanks for commenting. My parents were much like yours. I actually did not aspire to become a professional photographer until my final year of by business program at the local university. I satisfied my parents by taking a somewhat respectable-by-Asian-parent-standards degree program even though I was already a business operator. My parents were unapproving of my move to photography and, my father especially, was unsupportive. However, it's been about three years since I have made this career decision and their attitudes have changed. But I think that, more important than having my parents' support was knowing that I didn't need their approval or support. Anyway, feel free to e-mail me and I'll tell you what you want to know.
 Good luck with your studies.
