CreativeLIVE has this Jasmine Star LIVE session going on for the next couple of days.

It’ll be 6-7 hours of Jasmine Star awesomeness, as she walks you through a live engagement/wedding shoot, and touches on the business aspects of wedding photography. VERY informative, if you’re interested in that sort of thing.

I love her personality, love her outlooks on everything. It’s definitely very uplifting and refreshing to see someone with such high regards in the industry be so open and candid about everything. The wealth of knowledge she is willing to share is great!

Emily and I had the chance to watch her speak at WPPI 2010 earlier this year. We showed up like we were her biggest fans EVER.

Katy Perry is like the new Britney Spears to me. My secret guilty little pleasure.

I’ll sing this song in my car like it’s nobody’s business, but in public when I’m out with people, I’ll pretend to not know who Katy Perry is.

It’s just the way it is. I’ve got a public persona I’ve have to maintain in order to portray the gangster way of life, na mean?

Word up, homie g dawg funkmaster.

Plus, Kaskade just put out a mix to it, so how can you say you don’t like it? This is probably ALMOST as bad as the time I almost ran someone over because I was screaming out the lyrics to my girl T-Swizzy’s You Belong With Me. Yeah, I’ve got it bad.

Here are some more never before seen instax…

Check out the antelopes in the last row, second to the very right. As my good friend Mish would say…WHAT IN THE WORLD?!?!

We recently taught my mom how to send e-mails. We set her up with an e-mail account, and naturally used her initials/last name in her e-mail address. And of course, that name was already taken, so my sister had to add on some numbers.

What are the first numbers that come to mind? Birthday of course.

My mom was born on April 20…which means her e-mail address makes her sound like she rips sick hits out of bongs on a daily basis. HOLLLLERRRR at my mom and tell her how awesome she is: LJChang420@gmail.com!

So, she’s starting to practice using the internet and occasionally sends us e-mails whenever she gets bored at home.

I feel like I’m about to put her on blast here (think mymomisafob.com), but in one of the recent e-mails she wrote to my sister, she referred to my dog as “Mauch”.

If you don’t know already, my cute doggeh’s name is actually Mochi, like the delicious Japanese rice cake dessert.

Now, my sister and I run around the house yelling MAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH. MAUUUUUUUUUUUCH!!! Next time you see Mochi, you should yell that out, too. All the cool kids are!!

FF = Film fail.

So I recently shot a total of 24+36 = 60 exposures.

7 out of 60 came out.

Believe it or not, I am only 11.67% awesome.

Also, I think I scanned this way off.

¡Me llamo T-bone, la araña discoteca!

For those of you that don’t know Spanish, I just asked you where the library was. And then proceeded to tell you that my name is T-Bone, the disco spider.

This past weekend, I took the fam to experience the best homemade bean curd ever to be made, not inside a home. Chinatown restaurant called Jade Wok. It’s a hole in the wall, yes. A hidden gem is the way I like to describe it as. And cheap, too. $4.95 lunch specials. All day. I should’ve had you drooling at “best”.

Right next door to Chinatown is Olvera Street, hence the little Spanish rap intro. I’ve actually never gone, and it was quite a sight to see. Very colorful and full of history. And delicious smelling food that I must go back and try one day.

Heaven awaits…MEXICAN CANDY!!

It was so ridiculously hot this weekend, and we walked around for about 20 minutes hoping we’d find some Mexican popsicles, which proved fruitless (no pun intended, har har. god, what’s wrong with me. long day at work! leave me alone!!). We ended up settling for some Hawaiian snow cones. That cost $5. Which in my book were way too expensive for what it was. But nonetheless, it hit the spot and we were on our way back to our gloriously air-conditioned home.
