New Project: Composition
Jun 28th
Did a photo shoot yesterday with Debbie and John which resulted in some good images. During the shoot, I was constantly struggling (not an infrequent thing) with composition among other things. The struggle with composition stood out to me for two reasons. It’s one topic that I never had too much trouble with in over a year. The “A Picture A Day” project was largely responsible for that. Second, I’ve never been very good with composition. That needs to change.
To help with that, I will take on a new project. A project that I hope John and Perry will join me in. For the next few weeks, I will implement various elements of composition/design in photos. It’s similar to “A Picture A Day” project which had the goal of training my eye. Keep in mind this is not something I will post everyday. If Perry and John wants to join me in this, I will host their pictures here as well and at the end of the week we will have a “competition” and see who has the best image out of the group. A friendly competition that will bring some fun and energy to our love of better photography skills. So stay tuned my anonymous internet friends.
Till next time…
Janice Jann Bridal Shoot
Jun 23rd
I’ve finished processing the pics from the bridal shoot I did about two weeks ago. Had a great time and got some decent images out of it. Hopefully, I’ll get a chance to do more of these kinds of shoots and start building my wedding portfolio. Hair and makeup was done by Heather Wright and Jenn Chan. Model was good friend Janice Jann. And the primary photographer was (also good friend 
) John Jutiyasantayanon. Look John! I spelled your last name right! Ok, I cheated. I copied from Facebook. :p
Anyway, here are the pics:
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Updated WordPress

Updated WordPress to the newest version today. Unfortunately, it overwrote my theme files with the custom code I added. So I’m switching over to a new theme.
Day at Crystal Cove and Griffith Observatory
Jun 19th
Took my cousin from Australia to Crystal Cove and Griffith Observatory yesterday. It was pretty nice at Crystal Cove. Don’t have much to write so here are pics!
Overhead view of the beach.
See those little dots... they're insects. 
Blackhawk helicopter flying along the beach. Most likely from Camp Pendleton.
Cliffs.
Piece of wood in the sand.
Thermal camera. I'm so hot :p
Ticket for Centered in the Universe.
Los Angeles at night from Griffith Observatory.
Traffic was horrible the whole day. Really horrible.
Till next time…
Recent Shoots
Jun 13th
Finally finished processing pics from two shoots I did awhile ago. Galleries are now up:
Had a great time shooting with model Shari. Equally great time with Kelley and Jessica for their graduation shoot.
Also did a “bridal shoot” yesterday (Saturday) with my friend Janice Jann as the model. Small world, we didn’t even know that she was going to be the model. Here’s some quick snaps I took with my phone:
Janice and John collapsing the reflector.
Heather fixing the cake. Not the most flattering pic of Janice but I promise to make up for that with the pics from the shoot 
More shoots to come soon, hopefully. And I will start working on a new article so stay tuned!
I want to try something new for the next couple of shoots. Created a twitter awhile ago and finally going to put it to use, going to start tweeting during the shoots. Follow me at twitter.com/directorronc
Till next time…
UPDATE: Screwed up the names. Put Jessica instead of Heather.
