Here is my bestest subject Angela. She’s the sweetest and wisest child I’ve ever known. This day she had gotten a little teacup Chihuahua as a Christmas present so we’ve decided to capture some moments. Angela jan, Bajo loves you very very much.
You guys were awesome. I had a great time being at your grandma’s (my aunt’s) place. The food (Harissa) was deliciously cozy. I never had an opportunity to see all my cousins at the same place together. You guys were so nice and happy. I only wish I brought Narine and Nune with me. It was a good opportunity to introduce them to you all. Well maybe next time. Mariam morkur was visibly happy to have us all together in her kitchen enjoying her food and having a good old time. I could see how much you guys love her and I love you for that. Keep enjoying life. Please enjoy the photographs (there are some more which I’ll add later) and I hope we’ll have more opportunities to get together. Thank you again.

The table is ready.
She’s ready too
But not before thanking the Lord with a little prayer

Few days ago I took my yearly retreat to beautiful Big Sur. If you are not familiar with this part of the California, I would strongly encourage you to make some time to visit. It is arguably one of the most beautiful places on earth. Big Sur is about 300 miles north of Los Angles on the Pacific Coast Highway. It is a place of mystery and beauty. It has inspired many famous people such as Jack Kerouac, Henry Miller, William Hurst and others. Every year I take several days off and do a silent retreat. I hope you enjoy some of the photos I took during my last trip. The majority of these photos were taken with Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8 lens. Almost all the seascapes and the landscapes were taken with the highest aperture number. The seascapes were taken at sunset and after sunset hours with long exposure. Please feel free to leave a comment or just say hi. Thank you.
On my way to Big Sur I noticed the herd of zebras peacefully grazing. These were brought to Central Coast by newspaper magnate William Hurst to his castle. He also imported other exotic animals. These are the offspring of the original zebras.
The first cabin from left is where I stayed this time.
This morning I decided to venture out to Hollywood and do some street photography. It was a blast to say the least. I had 3 lenses with me the 50mm, the 17-55mm and the legendary 70-200mm. For some reason I decided to stick to my 50mm prime lens which effectively forced me to be close enough to people to capture my shots. This gave me an opportunity to get close to my subjects and interact with them. I have come to believe that this is the best way to photograph people on the street, to be close enough to capture the essence of the person. I ended up taking my best shot with this prime lens. Here are some shots from this excursion into famous Hollywood Boulevard. I hope you enjoy them.
These are some shots from the “The Dirty Diamond” concert at the famous House of Blues in Hollywood. I’d like to thank Sam and the band members for allowing me this awesome opportunity to enjoy their wonderful music and at the same time do what I like; taking photos. All the shots were taken without flash. The lenses used are Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR and Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8. Both of these lenses performed wonderfully.
First of all I’d like to congratulate Arthur and Ani and wish them the best. I had a blast. I’m looking forward to your wedding. Here are some of the photos I managed to capture at their engagement. All the photos are taken with Nikon D90 with Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S NIKKOR Lens. I didn’t want to take more photos than the official event photographer. I had to respect his turf and ended up taking almost all of them from a distance. I think I managed to sneak few good ones in. I’ll upload more as I get a chance and will update you. I hope you enjoy them.
Here are some more photos. Wow, I like the fact that I wasn’t expecting to have so many photos to work with. As I said earlier, I pretty much was sneaking in shots here and there. I love it when I’m the official photographer and can be as creative as I can.
I thought I would post some photos that are from various occasions but have been some of my favorites. I hope you will enjoy them. Please feel free to give me some feedback. It means a lot to me.
