I’m pretty sure that Desmond is the most adorable little person on the face of this universe. Our friend’s daughter, Lily, celebrated her fourth birthday at Chuck E. Cheese’s the other week and we dined with the buckaroos for the afternoon. I took a gazillion photos of course, even though none of them are my [...]
I probably shouldn’t admit this but I love competition shows like American Idol and America’s Best Dance Crew where people get a shot at fulfilling their dreams. I sometimes always get emotional when the winning contestant(s) finally get their glory because I get really inspired. And I know that they deserve it. I know it’s [...]
Another free webinar to check out! Wedding photographer, Jasmine Star, mentioned via Twitter that if you can’t attend the Escalate Live conference, you can sign up to view it live here. From the site: Escalate Live 2010 is a photography conference about bringing your vision into reality. This conference is for you if you are [...]
Monica did an alla prima portrait of me last weekend. I sat for a total of six hours but she didn’t finish because we ran out of time. I’ve always envied admired those who could draw or paint and it blows my mind how easily it comes to some. This is a time-lapse showing the first [...]
I came across this quote in Bobby Earle’s blog post titled “Originality is Overrated (for Photographers).” In it, he writes about the importance of sincerity in art and I couldn’t agree more. I know for a fact that I do my best work without the added pressure of doing it for any other reason than [...]
My husband broke the blog last night. Like shattered. All sentences I had structured, photos uploaded, thoughts sent out to the infinite abyss since 2007 were gone and replaced by a link in each post that lead to nothing. And I was totally okay with it. He, on the other hand, was freaking out like [...]
I meant to post this yesterday but Chase Jarvis announced the best way he knows how, via live video streaming on his blog with 1500 tuning in, that he and his buddy have started what is essentially an online school called CreativeLIVE. The site offers creative courses for FREE and the only catch is that you [...]
+ This is year three in the Bunny Ear series that I make with my husband’s family. Each time is a great time and I am always grateful for their willingness to participate :) You can view last year’s images here. And two years before that here (skipped 2008 because I was out of town). P.S. [...]
Updated the Polaroid section with a photo mosaic. After making a few of these, I remember going through a phase of not being able to work touch screens—they just wouldn’t read my finger prints or pressure or warmth or whatever it is they are supposed to read. So if you try this at home, remember [...]
Alrighty, folks. It’s finally that time that I was telling you about many moons ago. And by “that time” I am of course referring to you updating your bookmarks and/or RSS feeds to my new URL: http://huongfralin.com and http://huongfralin.com/blog. No more hyphen, no more single lady, all new married name, all new design. It’s mostly [...]
Hi! My name's Huong (pronounced "Hung") and I'm a photographer, writer, wife, and paranoid germaphobe who lives in Roanoke, VA. Traveling, good reads, and witty people with lovely brains are a few of my favoite things, but photography and writing are what this web log is about.
