Since the rain god decided to skip Northern California for the last couple of months and hence dumped nothing, zero, zip, nada flake of snow in the high Sierra and seriously putting the ski season at risk, I thought I should find something better to update the blog with .

Why am I blogging this picture? I really don’t have the answer. I just heard a podcast from a famous photographer about “finding the light” and “use the subject to enhance the light” and it really inspired me.

I had a chance to photograph Miranthe Mitome last month in traditional Vietnamese Ao Dai. Mitome was miss congeniality of the 2010 Vietnamese Northern California Pageant.
