iPhone Wedding Photography

As soon as I heard about Kenny Kim's experiment, I had to post it on Traveling Light.  He photographs weddings professionally, and has recently tried shooting them entirely with his iPhone4!

I think his images are gorgeous.

The Mixed Race Project

Take a peek at this amazing and inspiring photography project by Jenna Park.  Capturing sweet and intimate moments between children, parents and grandparents, she offers a glimpse into the homes and lives of inter-racial families like her own.

I loved looking through her photos.  I am also from a mixed family - my father is Chinese, my mother from the Philippines.  I was born in Singapore and have lived in diverse, metropolitan cities my whole life.  My husband is a Japan-born Argentine-American, of Austrian and English descent.  Our two children are multi-racial.

In addition to having grown up among so many cultures, I am also fairly young - sometimes I forget how new this diversity is to the world.  I am puzzled by racial stereotypes that some people cling to.  I was shocked to learn that up until 1967, inter-racial marriages were illegal in many states in the U.S.  After a little internet research, I found out that there are still inter-racial or 'inter-ethnic' marriage restrictions in many countries today.

Where are you from?  Does your family embrace more than one heritage?  I'd love to hear your history.

Irina Werning - Back to the Future

The attention to detail in her props and background betray Irina Werning's obsession with her work.  In Back to the Future, she fastidiously recreates the scenes of her subjects' old photos.  Notice the wardrobe - I'm convinced that some of the recreations are hand made.  Amazing.

Check out this awesome blog by my new favorite food photographer Matt Armendariz.  His images are beautiful - elegant, yet unfussy.  He also happens to have written a wonderful entry on his culinary adventures in Singapore.

SLR Camera Simulator

This is interesting - there is a website where you can practice using an SLR camera.  Choose your focal length, ISO, aperture and shutter speed to see how it affects the photo.  Check it out at camerasim.com.
