A month ago, I was privileged to shoot the wedding of my friends, Dima and Kae.
Needless to say, it was an amazing wedding and everything went really smoothly.
It was awesome hanging out with the bride and groom as well as the two professional
video/photo dudes, Dan Usenko and Max Lopatin.
These photos were shot with film, which is always a risky endeavor. And to top it
off, my camera was being plagued with shutter problems. But in the end, it turned out ok.
It's hard to properly convey the quality of the prints on a computer screen,
because they look ten times better when you're holding them in your hand. But
you can get a taste of my favorite shots right here, and if you want to see the
prints, just ask Kae.

Even though you kept me up at night,
pooped all over my room,
and chewed up everything (including my phone charger and headphones)...
I'll miss you
I drew this when I first got him..
Rest in Peace Chancho

I can't believe this one turned out, it was taken at night, hand-held,
at a super-slow shutter speed.

Have you ever had that when you're trying to explain something important to someone,
and it seems like they are either not understanding it or not paying attention?
Happens to me all the time.
I've realized that so many thoughts and sayings are incredibly profound
if you pay attention and think about them, something that most
people aren't willing to do unfortunately.
I think that's why so much talk today is just cheap and useless.
I think that's why people have given up on saying things that are meaningful,
because almost no one is willing to listen and understand.
I think that's why, in the midst of today's information overload, so little is actually being said.
People have become too self-absorbed with what they have to say.
They don't realize that the people they talk to are living humans just like them,
with thoughts, dreams, and passions that they want to share.
Everyone wants to express what's inside of them, it's the way God made us.
Everyone wants to be listened to and understood.
We actually have a lot of common ground with most people around us, but we'll never
know unless we listen and let them open up.
There's so much to learn from people, and we really miss out when we're selfish and
refuse to listen.
That's why so much of our conversations are full of small talk and meaningless chatter.
Sometimes I think both sides want to express themselves sincerely and honestly
but are afraid.
Afraid of being judged, laughed at, or rejected.
So don't mock or make fun of people when they talk about something they really care about.
Even if it's seemingly insignificant or stupid.
To them, those words are just as important as your inner thoughts are to you.
I'm guilty of that.
I also need to listen more and be genuinely interested.
I'm realizing that the reason so many people feel depressed and misunderstood
is because they're too busy thinking about themselves
instead of opening their eyes and being involved in someone else's life.
So do yourself a favor.
Listen.
Ask questions.
Try to understand what people are really saying
and why they're saying it.
Encourage others to open up by being open yourself.
Don't worry about what other people will say
because their opinion doesn't have to affect you.
Be real.
