Simple Takes

Exposed: Little Saigon Photo Contest...

2012-01-04T10:34:00.000-08:00

I participated in this photo contest back in december of 2011 as a friend recommended me to do so and to my surprise, I won 2nd place with above photo which i title, "Necessities". :) The theme this year is Vietnamese American. There are many other photos other photographers took around the Little Saigon area and selected photos are being exhibited in IDEA Space until January 20, 2012. In late January, the exhibit will then be moved the Tet in Seattle Celebration at Seattle Center. So hope you all will have a chance to check out photos of Little Saigon! :)

One day, I decided to head over to Fresh Flours to satisfy my pastry and matcha tea craving. It's been a year since I've been back and it's been a year since my photography showing in their shop. As I was standing at the counter waiting for my matcha tea, I looked over to the side of their counter and saw my piece, "Anpanman", hung on their side wall near their kitchen! I gave this to the owner as a gift to thank her for being so kind and giving me the opportunity to display but never thought she would display it in her store! Makes me happy... :) and Mr. Anpanman looks really happy in his new home too... :)

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year :)

2010-01-14T16:58:00.000-08:00

Although 2009 has not been a smooth year for many... and despite the economy... it was amazing for me to see my friends and people around me who have been affected by the economy, how they haven't lose sight of their ability to keep dreaming, be inspired, and simply be grateful for what they do already have. It's from these people that my inspiration continues.

"Art for a Good Cause" was created by my artist friend Lea Yang (http://www.portfoliol.com) and I about a year ago where we each would choose an organization to donate a portion of our proceeds from the sales of our artworks we'd sell. I was able to raise $50, a portion from the sales of my photography, in which I will donate to "Atlantic Street Center" (http://www.atlanticstreet.org). Their effort focuses on helping children and their families mainly of color and low-income from Seattle's central and southeast neighborhoods. Services are free to participants which is why donations are important. I chose this organization to donate to because it's important for me to see all children get as much adult attention and support they can get to push to see their skills and talents. Children's actions are true and honest. Their dreams and thoughts are genuine. However, when they're put in conditions that pushes them to grown in another direction, it's hard to keep that genunity. My volunteer experience to help teach at-risk children in the Rainier neighborhood during the first half of the year has allowed me to see this and has made me want to help them whenever I can.

So to those who have purchased my photography last year, you may not know it at the time, but on behalf of "Art for a Good Cause", we thank you as you have all contributed in donations. Thank you again.

And may 2010 be a good year for all. *^_^* Inspire.....

-Nora

Obasan Restaurant Grand Opening!!

2009-09-09T11:11:00.001-07:00

Last night was pre-grand opening dinner party for the Obasan Restaurant, soon to be opened to the public sometime this week! The interior space was designed by Yukako Horiuchi and she asked me if I'd like to display some of my photography there so I said YES! :D I really like what Yukako did with the space, from paint color selection to the wall treatment around the counter area with the dark stained wood slats. The entire atmosphere feels very young and fresh but still sophisticated. With upbeat music in the background and the great food that Obasan chefs create, I see this as a great new happening space in lower queen anne. I've met the owners last night and they are young and so full of energy. I like seeing young people start new businesses... they just have so much passion and excitement in their eyes... you can almost feel it yourself and can't help but be excited for them too. So, if you're ever in Seattle and in Lower Queen Anne area, step into Obasan and eat some yummy food... :D Dont' forget to ask the owners to tell you the story of how they came up with their restaurant name... :)

Obasan Restaurant Address : 11 Mercer St. (across the street of Taco Del Mar and Melting Pot)

Today's photo is one I took of guitar musician, Trace Bundy. I went to see him live for an event, a benefit for Agros International and World Relief . His affection for music and to help people can really be felt by everyone who was there... simply, pure rawness... pure genius. I didn't have the best camera to capture the best photo when I was there but I still hope you all enjoy this photo as much as I do. And a treat here *^_^* : Trace Bundy with Sungha Jung playing "Canon" on acoustic guitar.

Hello all... i'm very excited once again! why? because of an upcoming event at the Sietch 22 Collective at the Old Rainier Brewery! Part of the great colorful building has been coverted into artist work/living studios and they are open for the public to see this coming Saturday, June 13th from 11-7!

hanging art at bedlam coffeehouse

2009-05-30T08:52:00.000-07:00

My very loyal groupie (in above photo ;)) came with me to visit the grand opening of Bedlam Coffeehouse in Belltown, Seattle thursday night. Not only does this place have 5 of my photos hanging on their walls (=P) but this coffee place has many other things to look at too. As we sat w/ wandering eyes around the space, we saw little wooden blocks spelling out their coffee place. So cute! But they also have all sorts of collective items displayed in their space. One of the owners was even painting a monkey on the wall as we were drinking coffee! How cool is that? ha! It's very inspiring to see these young guys open such a coffee place in seattle... so different from any other coffee place... very community based which is nice! So, if you're ever in Belltown, go check this place out and check out my works and other photographer's works that are up now too... =P "Bedlam Coffeehouse on 2nd and Bell"

p.s. i like their chai latte and all their COOKIES! ... :)

p.p.s. thank you to the couple who bought 3 of my photos at Bedlam! and thank you Ben and rest of the boys at Bedlam Coffee for being so kind in always supporting all local artists.

silly dog...

2009-05-14T11:58:00.000-07:00

My friend Lea and I crossed paths with this dog who I name in my head as Patsy during our artwalk adventure in the phinney/greenwood area last weekend. I look at this dog and she just cracks me up! No matter what angle I look at her, she looks straight back at me! She's so adorable! The owners saw how excited I was seeing her that they asked her to do tricks like sit up straight for me... unfortunately, I did not get a shot of that moment. I don't know what her name is but in my head, it's Patsy. If you should ever see Patsy around the neighborhood, give her a petting! ;)

great day...

2009-05-09T08:59:00.000-07:00

what a nice day today! last night was opening night for the greenwood/phinney artwalk and i didn't realize that this event would bring in so many seattle people not to mention my good friends and family. it was really fun to meet strangers from all walks of life and everyone's SO friendly and nice!!! well, i tend to think everyone's nice usually... but they are! It's fun and sometimes funny to see what people say about your works...But it's even more fun when people come up to me to tell me how they can relate to the image I took... :) Today, I'll be there again but probably not so much staying at my own venue. I think today, I will take some time to visit the over 60 artists at this event.... :) The above image was an image I took last summer inland from oregon coast. today's such a nice day... just like the photo above... :)

Greenwood Phinney Artwalk! - May 8th and 9th!

2009-05-07T19:26:00.000-07:00

I'm once again participating in another artwalk! This time, the Greenwood Phinney Artwalk. :) This will probably be my last artwalk for this year so swing by to say hi if you're in the neighborhood. To see the map of the participating businesses and the artists they're showcasing, please visit this link : http://www.greenwoodphinneyartwalk.com/home/index.html . I'm number 25 on the map. My photographer friend, Lea Yang will also be showing this weekend. She's number 11. ;) It should be a big event. I'll be at my venue friday night from 6:30-9:30 and saturday from 12-5.... hope to see some familiar faces... ;)

my art in a design showroom ... :D

2009-05-07T18:39:00.000-07:00

I'm really lucky to have design & art consultant, Keri Schroeder select 4 of my prints to be displayed and sold at a modern design showroom over in Kirkland. The showroom is MDS - Modern Design Sofas which they have 2 locations, one in Kirkland and one in Pioneer Square. They have really fine, clean designs and they offer interior decorating services too! Keri has a great design sense and is really nice helping me through this exciting new process for me. I hope to be able to work with MDS for quite some time so we'll see how it goes! :D Below are the 4 images Keri selected to show in their showroom. :) You can also learn more about MDS here : http://www.moderndesignsofas.com/

another 'first'....

2009-05-07T00:48:00.000-07:00

I mailed this framed photo out to my very first 'out-of-state artist buyer' on Monday. It's a first so I'm extremely excited so of course I must have a post for this... =P Today, the buyer emailed to tell me she received the package! I'm so glad it got to her in safe condition. Thank you Kathryn for being a 'first' for me and your support of young artists! :D

those days....

2009-05-06T16:22:00.000-07:00

This new image I've taken gives me a feeling of what I think my parents have in their memory when they first arrived to america. It just gives me that feeling...

Thank You!

2009-05-01T23:47:00.000-07:00

The Fremont Artwalk finally happened! I just want to say thanks to those who came out and supported my art... friends and artist lovers, I'm very thankful for you all. ^_^. Just for you to be there to see what I see makes me smile inside. So, thank you all!

updates....

2009-04-23T19:57:00.000-07:00

I am going to be part of a group show at Cugina Cafe in Ballard for months of July/August! Stay tuned for more information about the other cool artists I'll be doing the show with. Personally, I like group shows more than solo and this is my first so I'm excited. It's more exciting to share the space with other artists. Me like... :D

I also have an opportunity to have a modern interior decorating/furniture store carry my stuff too! But more specifics on that later. In meantime, enjoy the image above. It's a photo I came across on the fotologue website and it's a photo I want to just be in! I love it!

Hello all! Today I want to share with you one of my favorite images taken by my friend/photographer, Lea Yang. This photo of hers was taken on her trip to India and she titles it, "Munshi Ghat". I fell in love with the colors, texture and the whole character of these steps as soon as I saw the print made by her. And today I'm excited because Lea has an artist reception at Victrola Coffee and I'm sure to be there to cheer her on! :D Hope you all can stop by to say hi to this great artist... 411 15th Ave. East, Capitol Hill.

these are their stories..........

I have started my new photo project titled, "these are their stories...." where I hope this will be an on-going project for me to share the many stories of others around the world through my images to you all. The above photo was a shot I took during my trip to China. Her face is so unique and I love her rosy cheeks... ^_^ You can see more photos from this project here at

My dear friend Mae Dela Cruz happens to be an amazing photographer too! I paticularly adore this series of images she's taken. She captures the natural light and the focus of the subject matter so well. I also like her choice of subject matter... i can just imagine these little maikos and lucky cats come alive and dance and make all of us smile... :) I hope you'll enjoy these photos as much as I do.

thanks................

Today, I just want to share with everyone one of my favorite pieces that I took back in 2006 at the Tulip Festival in Skagit Valley, WA. I titled this piece, "Hopeful". It's also my very first sold piece at my very first show at the Garden Festival in Ballard. Because of all these "first's", it will be a piece that I will not sell to anyone else. So, to the gentleman who bought my "Hopeful" piece, you have a one-of-a-kind print by me. Thank you so much for supporting my art! :D

This has been an exciting month. While I get to display my photos at Starbucks, my friend Lea gets to show her beautiful photography at Victrola Coffee in Capitol Hill! Today, we all went to see her works on the walls and it's just all so lovely! :D I'm a big fan of her stuff and her photos were taken from all her world travels... places like India and China. If you'd like to see more of her works, check out her website at http://portfoliol.com/.

Here's the artist.... My friend Lea! And those are her photos hanging on the wall behind her. :)

Oh sweet marshmellow in the sky... I couldn't believe it when I saw this during my journey to Morocco with my friend Maiko in 2008. I closed my eyes for the longest time, re-opened them and there it remained.....so still in the sky. As if it was there waiting for me to see it so I can remember that moment in time when I saw it. I like the feeling this marshmellow gives me...... hope and appreciation... I hope sweet marshmellow will give you all that as well. ^__^

It's Spring Season and here's a perfect photo to start off this blog!

The photo above is titled "Limca", taken on my trip to India back in 2005 with one of my long time friend, Lea. And yep, that's her up there... :) Us taking a rest stop in Agra with 2 bottles of refreshing Limca's.

I thank Etsy Seller, Buppins for including my photo above in her treasury list under the theme "summer souvenirs". I'm fairly new in the Etsy community so will surely get excited about something like this!
