I always get nervous about my camera gear. They are the most expensive babies I have in my life!!! I was happy to see them all in one piece at Seattle airport. The lady who took pic of me looked confused :) I met beautiful survivors, Lindsay Henderson and Lori stone at cafe before the photo shoot. We all had a great time working together. Photos are coming soon! Last day of Seattle at Seward Park. Beautiful park with healthy runners and dogs in the rain! Dogs here are big! Seeing good friends, catching up over good food and tasty drinks :) I enjoyed every moment. I went to Pike's place. The original logo of Starbucks was at the first location. I saw so many Japanese tourists saying, "sutar buckusu! sutar buckusu!" I know, I know!! hahaha- I love my people. I went to SAM, Seattle Art Museum. I was trying to get some inspirations... Came home in one piece!!! My babies got home with me. I asked a security guy to take the photo and he looked happy. He smiled when I complimented his photo skills :) A little blurry but it's okie! I had an awesome experience in Seattle doing this project, Underwater Healer About Face. Thank you so much everyone for your support! I'm heading out to NYC next! Stay...

Lindsey was in SF!! I'm so glad to meet her in person before the photo shoot in Seattle on Thursday. This is going to be a big challenge for her. She's never let her fingers away from pinching her nose because water goes in. But she is practicing in the pool at her hotel and she is getting better. I told her about Amy Yu、who faced her fear for water. Her images won't show her fear at all. Lindsey has courage to try her best after she saw beautiful images. Don't worry, Linsey, I'm there to help you...

So far, I've done photographing 4 survivors from the Bay Area. I'm waiting for one more male survivor, then Bay Area is complete!! You can check out the testimonial page to see their beautiful images and their underwater experience. I loved meeting and working with all of them and it was a precious experience to see their faces glow :) They made my day. Now, I'm getting ready for 2 survivors in Seattle on the 26th. Due to my tight budget, Lindsay from Portland is meeting me and Lori in Seattle to do the photo shoot. I'm heading over there on the 25th to meet the pool owner. My friend's friend, Ann is offering the pool for no charge!! Thank you so much for the generous support. People have been so sweet and supportive for my campaign. My heart is full of happy...

I had an awesome time at California Academy of Sciences last night! Thank you, Betty for contacting me and curating the show. I absolutely LOVE NightLife. I couldn't get to walk around much to check out other events but I would definitely go back there again to check it out. My stuff was right next to the penguins. They were so cute, cuddling and getting ready to go to bed. A lot of my friends stop by and I was SO happy to see everyone there. I was so happy all night showing my series and I can't wait to do more projects! Thank you so much for coming out and all the support! I love you guys!! Have a great...

Hello everyone~ I finally got the disbursement information from indiegogo. I just wanted to give you some updates on the campaign! I can reach out to 5 bay area for sure and 2 more from out side. I'm leaning towards going to the North West. Lindsay (Portland survivor) can meet me and Lori (Settle survivor) in Seattle. I still need to coordinate everything for this trip and I'll be on budget. If you guys know anyone who has an access to the indoor heated pool, please let me know! I just had a first bay area survivor photo shoot with Sante Johnson! We had a great time in Walnut Creek. Her friend, Perry helped me take some backstage photos. Thank you so much, Perry! Sante, you did a fantastic job! Photos are coming soon! Thank you so much for waiting! やっとインディーゴーゴーからメールがきました。まだちゃんとした値段が入って来ていません が、ベイエリアの５人と東西の２人と撮影ができるようにバジェットを守りながら頑張りたいと思います。ポートランドのサバイバーリンジーさんがシアトルま で来てくれるそうなので、シアトルのサバイバーローリーさんと同じロケーションで撮影できることになります。これから頑張って予定をたてたいと思います。 ベ イエリアは完璧なのでついこの間最初のサバイバー撮影に取りかかりました。サンテジョンソンさんです。彼女のお友達ペリーさんにバックステージの写真を撮...

RAISED $10,142!!! Thank you so much for your support! I finished my campaign with $10,142 and 1000 likes in 30 days!! Unfortunately, I didn't reach my goal but I can still work on survivors from the Bay Area and a few from out side. I'll find out more after all the tax and 40% of the donation to IHadCancer.com are taken out. I felt like I was riding a roller coaster during my campaign! I learned so much and my heart is full with happiness! I was on my computer everyday, marketing, creating graphics, flyers, ads, social net working and I tried everything I came up with. Even though I didn't reach the number, I'm still proud of myself I put 100% of my life into this. Also I wanted to tell everybody thank you for the support. I couldn't do this without anybody's help. I feel fortunate to have you guys in my life Now, my real job starts from here. I want to be proud of my work and I won't let anybody...

I have less than 2 weeks to go. It's been a great experience meeting new people and getting positive feedback! My brain is working and moving fast thinking, how I can reach the goal, where are the places to send my PR and who can help me grow. I think about my campaign every second like it's my baby growing. (I don't have one but...it sure feels like it. I rather have a puppy :) I physically started posting flyers, sending out packages to Angelina Jolie and Christina Applegate, emailing PR to news papers in Japan, France, Canada, US and Australia, private messaging in Social net working sites and what else do I have left? I know there are more things to do. I have 12 more days.... I have to do my best to reach the goal! Posting videos everyday...
