Saturday night was a big night for me and William. After all the planning since mid-February, things really felt like they paid off even if it was ten months of preparation work crammed into one night. (Things have been crazy hectic the past few weeks prior to the event hence my blog hasn’t been updated for a while.) In any case, good turn out, good times and good friends. Thank goodness 🙂

Thanks to all the models, MUAs, hair stylists and wardrobe designers/stylists that contributed to this huge event! I could not have done it without your talents as well!

Special thanks also to James Burns (Thank you for your love and support!), Ann Tran, Hung Tran, Jennifer Tran, Hong Howie, Sonja Skendzic Kellogg for helping me coordinate the big night (Cheers to family!) and of course to the wonderful people at Space Gallery for having me and to Doro for her delectable Sweetiecup cupcakes 🙂 You guys are the best!

There will always be a soft spot for Leica’s in my heart ever since my brother first mentioned them to me. Fortunately, my brother and I had the chance to test out the M7 and M8 for a weekend during Leica’s Test Drive promotion. These rangefinder cameras are a lot of fun to use, not to mention their attractive design and impeccable quality. Now, Leica has come out with the Leica à la Carte – a fully customizable camera “available through an online Configurator, [where] a user can choose between the Leica MP or Leica M7, and then delve deeper into over four thousand technical and styling choices. In additional to a myriad of technical selections, options get as in-depth as the lens cap color, leather trim, viewfinder frame-lines, controls, and personalized engraving.” They even have custom lizard or ostrich embossing – further pushing the customization level into the more exotic realm!

Here is my custom Leica à la Carte w/0.58 focal length set for the 0.58x viewfinder magnification that includes the frame pair/frames for 28 and 90mm, 35mm, and 50mm (if and when I get one – price starts at 4560 USD):
