Please meet Avalon. She’s the first born of our friends, Andry and Laura. She’s a very cute little baby girl. Today is her 12th day on the earth and she’s going to enjoy her very first Christmas season here with her parents at Seattle. :-)

Andry is actually the first person that influenced me with photography back in the early 2000s. It’s a pleasure for me to take their new family pictures today. Andry and Laura are the current owner of Indo Cafe at Seattle.

Here’re some of my favorite pictures of them. Enjoy!

Venue: Their home at Northgate, Seattle.

It’s very seldom that I have my own picture taken. This one was a bit dark but still pretty good. So, I tweak the pictures for my own pleasure.

Here’s the picture SOOTC (Straight out of the camera)
Benny dark

After post processing
Benny Post processed

Here’s what I did to improve my own picture:
- Bump up the brightness
- Change to sepia
- Apply noise filter
- Add an overlay
- Finally apply sharpen

What do you think of the final result? Thumbs up? Thumbs down?

 

This makes me smile when I read it. The title is “Your initial may spell success” [source MSNBC]. Apparently, there’s a study that show the relationship between a person’s initial name and the person’s performance at school. Person with “A” or “B” initials performs better than those with “C” or “D” initials. By the way, my name starts with a “B”. ;)

What do you think of the topic? Do you think there’s a correlation between your name initials and the way you perform? Share your thoughts in the comments section.
