Desert Thunderstorm

I've been mesmerized by thunderstorms since I was a kid. I just absolutely love when the sky suddenly gets dark, air becomes stuffy, random drops of rain fall on the ground and you can just feel that nature is ready to burst out its rage.

I have not witnessed many thunderstorms in the desert but when they do happen it totally makes my day. Yesterday we had a big storm across the valley. It didn't rain much in our part of town but there was enough lightning and thunder to satisfy my appetite for the whole year. I also tried to photograph some lightning bolts and was quite happy with the result considering that it was my first attempt.

On - Air With Sophia Choi

Last week I had a pleasure photographing Sophia Choi - one of the most talented and definitely unforgettable Las Vegas news anchors. My assignment was to cover all stages of Sophia's work day on KVBC Channel 3 for an article "Professional Women in Global News and Broadcasting" which is supposed to appear in a major Asian publication called "Singles Magazine". I don't have the tearsheets yet but they will definitely go up on my blog once I receive them. So check back soon. Meanwhile here's some highlights from the shoot (in reverse order).

Ms. Choi is getting ready for a 4PM News.
