quanDnguyen BLOG » my photography blog.

Hey guys, my name is Quan D. Nguyen. You can call me Quan, or Q-diz.

I'm different. I have an optimus prime voice changer mask for kids age 8-12. I have a pet lobster name Eddi, and when he gets a little older his name will be Eddible. I have a house phone thats shaped like a cheese burger. I sword fight with neighboorhood kids with my light saber. I bought a PS3 to play old school games like Tetris and Street Fighter 2. I become Editor Man at night to edit my photos, in underwear with cape and all. I've been photographing people for while now and I've come to realize that most of the photos I see are the same. Same places, same objects, same motions, just with different faces. Around the bay everybody wants a photo with the golden gate bridge but what does that mean to them? I would rather take your portraits at your favorite walking trail, or at that park you go to everyday to walk your dog, or around your house where you store your cool things. Instead of a photo with you smiling I would love to have your better half whisper something funny in your ear and have you bust up laughing. If you want your photos to be different, hire a photographer who is different.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Only hire me if you like my work and trust me enough to let my creativity roam.

Stella + Steve :: 50mm lovin

Same deal as my previous post. 50mm is honestly the toughest focal length. It’s not long enough or wide enough to make things “automatically cool.” You gota have vision to use this lens man, it requires so much composition skills. Im no where near mastering this lens but man Sam has, thats why his compositions are so bomb. I gota train more with the 50. (P.S the black and whites are done in camera. You guys should try it sometimes, it looks pretty good!”
