Here is the Wikipedia explanation of crochet but what I did tonight has no explanation. I thought I was watching the movie (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) but end up making this little monster. What do you think her name is?
Crochet (pronounced /kroʊˈʃeɪ/) is a process of creating fabric from yarn or thread using a crochet hook. The word is derived from the Middle French word croc or croche, meaning hook. Crocheting, similar to knitting, consists of pulling loops of yarn through other loops. Crochet differs from knitting in that only one loop is active at one time (the sole exception being Tunisian crochet), and that a crochet hook is used instead of knitting needles.
Foto Week DC http://www.fotoweekdc.org taking more of my time than I was expected. I came home thinking this season I need to celebrate my fashion mojo with something. Using vintage veils might be a good start.

This idea came to my mind after I saw table filled with guest names at one of my California Coast wedding last year. I liked the idea so much and started to use it whenever I want my card stands out somewhere on the table. I took this photo at my kitchen couple of minutes ago to show you how it looks in general.
All time devoted assistant Fluffy is holding one of my favorite lens for portrait sessions. The Canon 85/1.2L is a great quality short telephoto lens. The lens produce an extremely shallow depth of field that throws away any background objects out of focus in medium light. I love the fact that it works perfectly without using a high noise ISO like 1600 or 3200 as well.
What I do in general is to focus on subject's eyes and hoping the viewers to accept the rest of the image rendered slightly soft.
Hi everybody, Slacking a little on my blog post lately, and in general, back to back weddings are taking its toll, but...from now I will try to post every day...see how that goes. Wish me luck. This image is from Emilia Sin and Peter Padiotis's St. Katherine’s Greek Orthodox Church Wedding. I shot that image from a small stair behind the mezzanine with my 15mm f1.2 lens. I run back to aisle to catch the first kiss right before they were announced husband and wife for the first time.
