Boulder, CO 7/26--7/29

Boulder, CO, best known for its environmental-protection efforts and green savvy. I would sum up the city with 3 words: organic, green, and friendly. I absolutely love the town. It's such a healthy town, everyone is so into eating healthy, recycling, going organic, supporting farmers market, and outdoor sports.

Instyle Transformers

This past Sunday I met with Queenie and Joseph for an engagement shoot. Our concept was to photograph "what they do on dates". That would include : shopping, having a drink in the coffee shop, eating at their usual restaurant, reading at the bookstore, and simply just hanging out.

My most memorable moment of Queenie and Joseph:
The way their eyes sparkled when she said Instyle and he said Transformers.

When I asked Queenie for her favorite reading material at Borders, she gave me an answer without hesitation-----Instyle Magazine. There is no doubt that Instyle is Queenie's favorite, she loves fashion, has good taste in clothing, and definitely knows what's in style.

One the other side, Joe pointed out many of his favorite books to me, but nothing compares to when he saw a Transformers book on the shelf. I know he is not into the book itself but more so the idea of Transformers is back and is now on motion picture. The look on his face was priceless, I could tell that it brought back lots of his good childhood memories. I could see it in his eyes.

A few hours break on Armitage


As I was working at home replying endless emails and finishing up with a few wedding photo deadlines, Tara called. She invited me to go wedding invitation shopping with her and Melissa, a friend whom I haven't seen for years since she has moved to California. I agreed to go right away.
We tackled Paper Source on Armitage to brainstrom for Tara's Mexico theme wedding. We all came up with some brilliant ideas:
Tara - "message in a bottle" wedding invite
Kimmi - personalized flip fops party flavors
Melissa - vision on sand color paper, shells, and cactus design
Hanging out with Tara, Melissa, and Kimmi turned out to be what I needed. Seeing Melissa, especially, brings back lots of high school memories. How could I miss the opportunity to not take some photos of her, right? To see more photos from today, go to: http://picasaweb.google.com/millicentwong/July3
