Wedding Photo Shoot During Earthquake

May 27th, 2008 | 9 Comments | Posted in Photography, Totally Random

I did my first wedding photo shoot in the beginning of this month. It went by smooth and safe despite a little rain. Thank god. Imagine you are doing a photo shoot and everything start shaking… Things start to fall and the church you are in is falling apart… Scary right?

Chinese couple getting married in Sichuan, China

A Chinese couple went through this terrible experience 2 weeks ago during the deadly earthquake in China. Their shocking wedding pictures were published on the Internet recently. The photographer was very professional because he didn’t stop taking photo even though he was brought to the ground by the quake and falling debris.

Everything collapsed, but atleast none of them were hurt

Congratulations To Tzu Chi Foundation Canada

May 18th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Local Events

Tzu Chi Foundation had done a great job in raising money for China earthquake relief. I’ve never seen a relief fund set up so quick. On May 13, which was the day after the initial quake, I heard them asking for donations on radio already.

They have partnered up with local Chinese radio station AM1320 and T&T Supermarket to raise money as quick as possible. They have also set up donation booths in all major shopping malls in Vancouver. I am really impressed by their efforts. I’ve checked their website and since May 15 they have raised a total of $700,000 CAD. That is almost 5 million Chinese yuan. Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Let’s Help China

May 14th, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in Totally Random

Let’s put away your political views and bias for a minute and focus on the tragedy that happened in China a few days ago. For those who didn’t know, there was a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in southwest Sichuan China. The government had put a great rescue effort but more help is needed. Death toll is almost 15,000 now and most of them are children as a lot of schools collapsed during the quake.

A Picture > A Thousand Words

If you don’t know how bad the situation is, just head to Reuters.com and look at the image gallery of the quake. You will see how bad it is for the victims and their families. Your tears will start to drop as pictures are better than a thousand words.

Donate Now!

Because the quake erupted in a mountainous area and many roads were destroy, rescuers had a hard time reaching the victims. The first rescuers walked for hours to each to the critical areas. You don’t have to do the same to help those victims, all you need to do is contact your local Red Cross now and donate. The latest news from China is that it is badly in need of bottled water. Donate now and help get those water to the victims! If doesn’t matter if you are Chinese, Japanese, or American. Save some lives before it is too late!
