All It Takes is a Little Something...

A sweet.
A smile.
A hug.
A little love from you...

All it takes is a little something to make a child feel appreciated.

Whatever they grow up to be, they are still our children, and the one most important of all the things we can give to them is unconditional love. Not a love that depends on anything at all except that they are our children.

St Joseph's Cathedral


St Joseph's Cathedral, originally uploaded by haechoo.

Tried to photograph this majestic church in a different way. Overexposed the highlights. Vietnamese masses are very melodic and just being there amongst the Vietnamese during mass gave me little goosebumps. But the interesting thing is that there is gender segregation whereby the guys sit on the left and the ladies sit on the right. How strange but fascinating. :)


Little Green Girl, originally uploaded by haechoo.

After mass, met this sweet little girl and her brother and mom outside the church. She was really shy when I tried to take a shot of her. Her mom had to coax her into position before I managed to get a beautiful shot of her (below). Too bad I did not get their contacts to send her picture over.

A Pause

Hello to all Picspirations readers!

Picspirations will be taking a short 3-week break as I'll be away travelling in Vietnam and China. But there will be nice pictures after this break for sure!

Take care in the meantime!

Spiralling


Spiralling, originally uploaded by haechoo.

This seems to be the law of progress in everything we do; it moves along a spiral rather than a perpendicular; we seem to be actually going out of the way, and yet it turns out that we were really moving upward all the time.

Food for Thought

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.

Baptismal Joys


Baptismal Joys, originally uploaded by haechoo.

My first formal event shoot. Baby Joshua got baptised two weeks ago and what better way to capture the joys of this sacred rite than through the art of photography.

Will attach a slideshow in a couple of days to come. :)
