Grace Pae is chef and owner of Artemis Foods. I first met Grace in 2001. She was the caterer at the home garden wedding that I was photographing. The layout of the house had only one way to get to the back yard wedding-reception area – through the kitchen. “Grace under fire” was...
The title of this book should be updated or I should cover it with pretty wrapping paper like how I covered my text books in Jr. High School. Last year at WPPI, one of my favorite speakers was Matthew Jordan Smith. Throughly enjoying 2 of the 3 books he recommended, “The Alchemist” and “Selling the...
This is another good example of using ambient light from a window. This image has a sense of peace. You can hear the little girl thinking “everything is right with the world when I sit quietly, sucking my thumb with Ruby purring loud behind me.” Hearing about all the turmoil in the world on the...

Photographers control what the viewer of the image sees. Light, color and an image’s focus are a few elements that allows you to control where you want to place the viewer’s attention. During my walk today, the sun was out but dark clouds were moving in from the north. This image demonstrates the use of...
