Tiramisu
I have a friend in Taiwan need a photo of Tiramisu. Food photography? No problem at all.
But where the heck I can find a nice Tiramisu. After today, I found out a lot of the barkey store
in Alameda, where I live, actually not selling Tiramisu. So I just when to one of my favorite store,
Trader Joe. Yup, they have it. In fact, I bought the exactly the same one for my sister last birthday.
TJ max, also a nice store you can always fine something out of your expectation. This plate only cost
me $2. Isn't it nice? I found a excuse to buy a nice cake and took this nice photo for my friend.
Win-Win.

Photography by rocky wu
30th Oct 2009, Ocean Beach
Last day of the October, I had a photo shoot at the Ocean Beach.
Preparation one hour before the photo shoot, that is what I used to
do. In the morning, it was so foggy. I wasn't expected the sun come
out at all. I found three locations on the beach, but this nice pic was
took somewhere else. I like it. Thanks for the sun, I had to change
the plan. However, this photo shoot was fast. For me this was a
little practice to keep my skill up. Everytime you work hard on some-
thing, you gonna get something. I like this photo. Happy for today.

Andrea Saunders

17th Oct, 2009 Berkely
Andrea, my very first professional model. 3 and half hours photo shoot in berkeley.
That was fun. This was a very good photo shoot. I had a good plan on it. Before the
photo shoot I spend 1 and half hours to search around the area and look for the sence.
The weather did a good job company with me too. Praise the Lord that gave me such
a good day. Andrea is a very calm, elegant and profession model. If I can use chinese
to discribe her that will be like a whole page of this xanga blog be filled. This picture
above was the best shot I got, and I believe we all agree that was the most fun part.
Vincci, my lovely sister, she is my super assistant. Beside the camrea, she took care
of everything like, hold the flash, hold the reflector, fix andrea's hair and dresses,
throwing some idea...I just have to say.. something just turn up. Great! Thanks Andrea and VV.

Last week, on Thursday I helped a customer to make prints out of some old time black and white negative film.
After she saw all the photos on the counter, she cried right in front of me. I know nothing to do, but stood there
just give her a little smile. A smile that mean, "I understand."
I worked in this place almost one year. I think is time to move on. This lady really made my story in this little
30 years old photo lab completed.
Right now, I really feel I have not much left. Everything I know all just little bit... I used to travel a lot. Small one
... big one, I just travel. Enjoying go out. That was my childhood, kind of, because I was spending my parents
money. After started working, I have to learn how to change my life style, to fulfil a condition of become a man.
I believe this is just a process. In this process I dont have much choices. All I have to do is hang in there and wait
for the chance. I really want to know do I have fun now? I used to feel my name Rocky Wu mean happy and just
happy. Now I feel little bit I need to earn it.My dad said, "If you never experience the sadness, how can you laugh so bright and brilliant (燦爛)."
So I won't disappointed how I feel right now. Because "Everything will past". (From a Chinese movie call 斗牛)
This song I want to share the name of it mean "It Think About My."

2 years ago.. 2007 summer
I took these photos for my friends, 2 years ago. That was my very first time really shoot "kind of fashion" outdoor.
At that time they still at the beginning of their singing career. I think they are more famous now. I have no idea how
famous they are. Since I moved out Hong Kong I already disconnected ( 脫節 ). 2010 I am planning to go back Hong Kong
for vacation. It've been a long time. Home is home, just a place want to be once a while. May be I can have an other
photo shoot wtih them. They have four memebers total. I really wonder how much improve of my shooting skill I can get.

Augest was long
Welcome Sept, finally. A new month. Once again.. I am glad I have
a habit, writing my diary. Because of that I can feel the Months are passing...
The first week of Sept. Long weekend. Nothing to do. No plan no
motive to plan.. Taking some stroll everyday. I knew I gonna meet
someone I know on the street. Yea I did. Which was pretty good.
But during the stroll by myself was very good too.
After everyone are gone (for some reasons). I really have some time
and space to think. Just like the sediments deposit to the bottom.
Then you can see it clear like a bottle of water. It is so hard to avoid
the impurities get into my life. But I can let it settle down. Just need
my space, my own self time.
Little bit feel lonely too, this weekend. Well, I do have a better,
clear picture in my head now, like I have a clean water in my cup
right now. So, it is good, and it was a nice weekend indeed.

August
Something about dream when I sleep.
I dream. A lot of dreams. This few days, weeks, month. I dreamed
who I expected. And also got some new visitors. I met one of my
primary school classmate. She was pointing me to somewhere I
supposed go to last night.. that's all I can recall..
I still haven't seen her since then when we were kids. This few months.
We share our thought on the blog. I love to read that. we wrote
what happen of the days. Like a dairy. I just want to say I enjoy it.
Remember when I was a kid. I never dream what I want or some
thing I can imagine during the day time. Right now. Dream show my
my deep in heart. Telling me, "Yea, That is what you like what you
thinking, go for it. Isn't it happy if you can do that for real?!"
People says, when you sleep well you wont remember your dream.
Or even no dream at all. For me I rather remember what I dream
when I first wake up from my bed. Because I know my dream is
honest. More I grow up, more easy to get confuse but dream help
me plenty.

I Love Lao Food


What is Lao Food?
Lao cuisine is the cuisine of the Lao ethnic group of Laos and Northeast Thailand (Isan).
The staple food of the Lao is sticky rice. This kind of rice people use finger to grab it.
They put it in a little basket that made by bamboo. The rice is sticky but not stick to anything else.
Lao food very similar with Thai Food. For me I love both. You can find a Thai food restaurant easily.
But not really Lao. So if you want some real local Thai Food (or Lao). Then started search for Lao.

Wedding Photo Shoot
David and Karen Wedding












This photo wedding shoot in June 6. Finally I retouched them. This couples photo will be
my first album put on my first own website. Excited. From this shooting, I learned I have
to prepare more. Like this time the schedule really tight and the communication with
the couples really important too. This time I guess I had some nice shot for them. But for
me I really hope I could have more time to just shoot the broom and the bride. Price list..
my style.. all have to be set soon. Actually at the beginning I really not sure what I want
to be.. after this, in my head more idea and I know what I want and what I want to make
the different with the other people. I really hope I can started another wedding shoot again.
Because I am ready!
Thank you
