Continue reading →: Weekend Wedding Photo Notes
Rae and I shot my cousin’s wedding this past weekend. We had a full schedule of shooting in multiple locations: Redwood Shores, Los Altos, and San Jose. On one hand, family weddings are good because you know pretty much everybody attending. On the other [photography] hand, they can be bad…

If anybody tried to visit this site in the past 2 hours, you no doubt noticed it’s been down. Apparently, one of the co-location routers bit the dust. What’s this I hear about 99.5% uptime?!? Thanks for your patience during this downtime.

Kaplaaa! I’ve succeeded in transferring most of my old photojournal entries into WordPress! The process was greatly simplified after I wrote an AppleScript to handle each post. The script parsed two files used by my old entries: (1) an XML configuration file containing the post’s title, publish date, and header…
