Finally the Olympus Pen digital interchangeable lens camera is here.

It was announced some time ago with a prototype picture.
Olympus Micro 4/3 ( a very small camera )

Now, its here.

Its a small format camera but has the features and controls of a larger camera and you can change lens.

Yes, that’s the name of the restaurant Casper and Alvin had their simple Marriage Registration ( ROM ) ceremony. Its a nice cozy place with ample space right in front of it for a bouquet tossing.

Casper and Alvin have such nice warm smiles, that made shooting them a really pleasant job. Thanks guys for having me :))

Friends and relatives came from all corners of the world to attend Grace and Wilson’s wedding.
Grace was from Hong Kong but she flew in from Shanghai, while Wilson’s family is from Malaysia. Her friends came from London, Canada and USA.
The whole wedding feel like a United Nations meeting of sort.

Overall a warm and romantic wedding with candles and flowers.

Yeah, what I really like is a nice cup of coffee………….

If you didnt notice, the mug is made from a camera lens

Lots of tears
Lots of crying
Lots of laughing
Lots of hugs and kisses

That about sums up the wedding of Yasuko and Sam.
Yasuko is japanese while Sam is american.

Along the way, lots of language and cultural fun. These guys pull through whatever difficulties fell their way with lots of love, easy going nature and understanding of both families.

I really enjoyed their wedding and wish all my couples could be there  to see how moving, warm and enjoyable a wedding can be.

Recently Dell announced the latest Notebook which seems to be just the right combination of performance and price for the photographers market.

“…………. Dell Studio XPS 1640 specs : CPU options include the P8400, P8600, T9400, and T9600, all from Intel’s Core 2 Duo line. While it starts at $1,199, for an extra $250, you can upgrade to a full HD 1920×1080 display. Graphics are limited to an ATI Mobility RADEON M86XT chip. There’s also a 13-inch version, called the Studio XPS 1340…..”

Most important is the “full HD 1920 x 1080 LED display” . Until now, there is nothing on the market that is LED and 1920 x 1080. Atleast , not at that price range.

Here’s the review

Did you get a warning recently when you visit my site ?

or any other site for that matter ?….well the puzzle has been due to some haywire by Google.com

So much so that even, Google.com itself is affected by this labelling.

See this story

“…………….Some of you may have noticed that Google went a little haywire yesterday, labeling every site under the sun, including google.com itself, as potentially harmful to your computer. (This label is usually reserved for sites reported to contain malicious code—think shady warez and porn sites laden with virus and trojan-laced pop-ups.) Drudge’s characterization—GOOGLE GONE MAD—may be overwrought (such is the Drudge style), but it illustrates a larger point: how smart is it to so heavily depend upon Google? How many of you rely on Gmail and Google News, to say nothing of plain ol’ search, every day? And to think, now Google wants us to store all of our data on its servers!…..”

Both Wee Ping and Thuan Hock are rather shy people. Instead of kissing at the end of their solemnisation, they hugged.

I must say it did throw me a curved ball. Didn’t expect that to happen at all.

Their wedding was steeped in chinese tradition. Lots of play with chinese characters and wordings. I am not very good at that and was really surprised to see what they came up with. Their relatives are a creative lot.

Unlike the usual wedding, where the emphasis is the bride and groom, theirs is more of a group thing. Everyone really participated.

I rather enjoyed the change.
