GO TO indiegogo project Thank you so much for your support! I just finished my first week with almost 1/4 to reach the goal! One of my printers just offered 10 FREE 12x16 prints to the survivors from the photo shoot!! I always order canvas prints from them. Also one of my favorite dive shops, Anderson's Scuba offered FREE pool usage for the photo shoot with survivors! Thank you so much! I have 3 more weeks to go. It's been a tough week but I'm receiving numerous feedback and absorbing people's positive energy! Please keep spreading the word to make this happen! Thank you so much everyone! ご協力ありがとうございます！最初の一週間で四分の一ゴールまで近づく事ができました！...

Day 1 Underwater Healer – About Face

about
July 11, 2013/by
Day 1 is ending! I launched the campaign after midnight yesterday. I was so nervous and anxious right before I hit the start button. You know that feeling, right? I haven't been sleeping well the past few days to finish the video. I hope everyone liked my first 4 minutes editing video in After Effect. I had so much fun working on it! I got 23 funders today. Thank you so much for your generous contribution!! I had to celebrate with my favorite scone from Victoria pastry and a cup of soy Latte. I'm breaking my diet rule all day today! This only the first day, I'm working harder tomorrow! Thank you everybody!! 初日が終わろうとしています。 昨日の夜中に緊張しながら開催しました。ビデオを終わらせるために睡眠不足の日々を送っていたんですが、気に入っていただけたら とてもうれしいです。初めて自分一人で作ったビデオなので結構終わったときは感動してしまいました。でもすごく楽しんで編集できたので　良い経験になって良かったです。 今日は２３人のファンダーズが集まりました。ありがとうございました！今朝仕事に行くとき気分良く、調子に乗って、２年飲んでいなかったソイラテと、お気に入りのパンやからスコーンを買って　ダイエットルールを壊しまくった一日でした。今日が初日。明日からキャンペーンもっとがんばります！ 本当今日は有り難うございました！！ PLEASE Go TO indiegogo.com to support my campaign!

The campaign launches tomorrow! I've been planning for 3 months and it's finally happening! (wait, let's see if I don't run into any problems uploading anything on indiegogo...) I was recording myself and editing all week and weekend. I actually had a great time doing it though I'm really bad at public speaking. I look weird! hahaha. No, I never had to read a script (lie!) Thank you Eric Ignacio for lending me his microphone.  Thank you to GoPro! It takes awesome video and timelapse! I hope everybody would be interested in contributing for the campaign. I'm SO nervous! 明日キャンペーンが始まります。かれこれ３ヶ月くらい計画練ってました。でもやっと実現します！（あ、でも最後の最後で失敗しないようにスムーズにいけば。。）先週自分で録音と編集をしていました。結構楽しんでいたのはいいのですが、カメラの前で喋るのはやはり苦手です。しかも顔がへん！笑。いやいや、すべて暗記しました（嘘）エリック、マイク貸してくれてありがとう。あとゴープロさんも　...

Underwater Healer Project – About Face

June 30, 2013/by
I had a fantastic underwater portrait session for underwater healer project this weekend. I'm launching a fundraising campaign in July 10th! Details coming soon! Bernadette Leno flew down from Vancouver, Canada on Friday night. We contacted each other only one week ahead to plan everything and fortunately, everything worked out!! I was so excited to meet her and curious to find out who she was because she had never been to SF and met me before! She must be an awesome gal and she was! I felt so happy to meet her! She was only here for 36 hours and I hope she enjoyed her portrait session and stay in SF. She did such an amazing job in the water yesterday. It was about 100F in Walnut creek (thank you, Dina, Adam, Cassi, Juni and Tagboat!) and we forgot to put a sunscreen until we finished the session...... She got some farmer's tan as a souvenir. You can check her out here! 先週末に　アンダーウォーターヒーラープロジェクトのため　バンクーバー、カナダから　バーナデットさんが飛んできて下さいました。一週間ほど前にビデオ チャットで会って企画をしただけなので、二人とも出会ったときは少し緊張しましたが、意気投合して　水中写真撮影を知り合いのプールをかりでする事ができ...
