Chandra - Oh my. What was this for? As bad as this winter has been, I have to give it credit for giving you a nice color palette to work with for this shoot.

Calista - whoa, love the way they jump! those ballerinas! :)

Tiffany - WOW! As out of shape as I am and as cold as it was…these are beautiful!! A true testament to you as a photographer :) Our first sisters only photos…and we LOVE them!

Amelie - These are awesome !! I love the colors and the scarves in the wind ! Congrats to the ballerinas for all the beautiful jumps and to you for the fantastic pictures !!

nicki_bennie - These are so beautiful – I love the colours against the snow! And the dancing has inspired me to try a streetdance shoot with my son – he loves to dance :)

Ai Ling - Thank you!! I was so inspired to do this shoot. Glad it turned out great.

Was in New York back in December of ’08, and these photos reminded me the joy of photography. It felt good to just shoot… anything and everything.

AngelChang - oh~~~

it is really nice to see you being a tourist AGAIN.
Guess it was long time ago….
hm….beautiful!!!!

Ai Ling - haha, I try but I get lazy when it comes to processing my own photos.

Chandra - Oooh, you haven’t done this kind of photography for a long time! It’s the original Ai Ling!

Calista - oh love this! I see life! Love the bridge :))

Zorislav - Great stuff, as always :) I love your street photography the most and your B&W processing is just as I like it…photo journalistic.

I got a new job at the beginning of the year and more time for photography :) You are not into flickr anymore?

Hope all is well and beautiful!

Zorislav

Hlies - OMG! You’ve captured New York so beautifully :) Nice job!

My - I like the horse/mounted police photo!
You’ve created a feeling of visiting every spot and seeing the whole of New York City. I can cross it off as a vacation destination, now. THANKS!

Sherene - I was in the city on Valentine’s weekend and when we had DIMSUM, all i could think was “wouldnt it be wonderful to share it with you there!” Come back to NY!! And bring Ian too ok? :P

Ariel - Great pictures!

Ai Ling - thank you!! :)

my first publication!

I was interviewed by the Twin Cities Luxury and Fashion magazine a while ago regarding my thoughts on the trash-the-dress phenomenon, and I was also asked to submit a few photos from the sessions I’ve done. Leah’s and Mary’s photos were among the few that I submitted.

Yesterday I received a package that contained three copies of the magazine’s February issue… and guess what, I am published!

Four of my photos along with the interview were featured on page 54 and 55.

A real magazine, with glossy pages and all. *gasp*

Okay… more like smiling like an idiot every five minutes and dancing the very dorky happy dance every two hours since yesterday.

Ai Ling
