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...

August 19, 2013/by
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...

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...

The best morning therapy

Uncategorized
May 19, 2013/by
I go swimming about twice a week. I like the quietness and the emptiness in the early morning. I brought my underwater iPod the other day. I discovered the music helped a lot to keep the steady rhythm of my strokes and kicks. I was amazed how smoothly I was swimming and breathing. At the end of the hour, I decided to float on the surface and listen to the music. It was the perfect way to cool down and to relax before I get out the water. I had the best morning ever! I actually use my iPod for my clients. They all love it! Please let me know if you have any questions and interested in my underwater healing session. このごろ水泳に夢中になってる理由が、じゅじつで腰を痛めてしまって　(年です。笑）ヨガか水泳しかできないという。。。 ついこの間、水防止のアイポッドで水泳をしたら、音楽のせいもあって、呼吸とクロールにリズムかんがあったのに気づきました。 普通に泳いでいる時よりも、疲れにくい！やはり、呼吸は大切ですよね。実は私のクライアントにも使ってもらってます。水の中でゆっくりリラックすできるそうです。サンフランシスコに来る機会があれば、私のunderwater healer...
