One of the things I love best about photography is getting to know the subjects that I shoot. During my portrait sessions, weddings or otherwise, I get a chance to really find out about my subject, for as they say "the camera looks both ways". Not only am I photographing them, but they're learning about me as well. I love the interaction when photographing people.

With my friends, it's easy to ask them if I can photograph them, like in this photo of my friend Wanru. This was taken really quickly, available light, in front of the Japanese American National Museum. I've known Wanru for awhile, but it was nice to take a simple photo of her like this on a whim. I love her eyes.

Happy Monday everyone :) Check back soon!
