Moving and having some major changes this year, has given me the foresight, the desire to pursue my dreams. PHOTOGRAPHY. Risks are just a part of the equation, time and energy seems to be less abundant than I recall it was, and sleep deprivation has become my best friend. But am I happy? Yes, in more ways than one can truly imagine. As we begin this journey let us shed some unnecessary weight and reprogram ourselves to enlightenment as we travel the road not taken. Namaste.JACQUELINE TRUONGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07433647665695157129noreply@blogger.comBlogger821100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724010795595060131.post-41974024085692329872011-12-23T02:15:00.001-08:002011-12-23T02:15:52.908-08:00

It's a long overdue post that I have wanted to blog, but hadn't found the time or desire to do so back then. 2009 was a year of sadness. I lost more than one beloved and many tears were shed. Ironically, the idea/emotionally baggage death carried had managed to elude me for many years. I didn't actually feel the absence until I was 16 and my pet Boxer passed away.2009 my father and pug Ron had a

Hi all! My project is pretty simple. I am looking for all walks of life in any shape or form. The plain and boring to the overly eccentric. I am starting my new project and need to photograph people in their underwear....what they normally wear or don't wear underneath the clothes. Doubtful faces will be in the photos so have no fear! It should be a fun project and I am looking forward to hearing

I was scrounging to meet the deadline while in the midst of packing my bags for the trip to Vietnam. Finally, after much debate and deliberation I chose seven images that I felt would have a chance at the International Photography Awards 2009. News arrived a month later with glee and joy that five out of the seven made it through the first round. I never expected to have so many make it pass the

It was definitely a different concept to what we have in the states. Imagine listening to blasting house/dance music while sipping on some amazing Vietnamese coffee or eating your favorite ice cream dessert. They also had several flat screens strategically placed where one could catch a sporting event or movie.For those who were craving something a little warmer, this local cafe had an assortment

I have been bad about not posting. It's not like I have a good excuse for it either, but it's late and I am hungry. As I decided to stuff zucchini flowers with goat cheese and fry them (butter is tastier I think), I am reminded of the wonderful food I had the opportunity to try in Vietnam. But yet instead of displaying all the yummy dishes I consume there, I am showing pictures of the outdoor

Plans to travel to Vietnam had been discussed prior circa two years ago. Mom and I kept trying to coordinate our schedules, but eventually with Grandma's (bà Ngoại) 90th birthday this year, convinced us to take the trip this summer. I think she looks a lot like Co 7.

While traveling in Vietnam, we took a tour to some beautiful places. One of our stops was Hue. This place is reknown for its beautiful landmarks and historical palatial palace. We are talking about dynasties here and not the one on tv! More Hue pictures to come.

Going to Grandma's was much more interesting this time around. Instead of the usual four hour or something drive on bumpy dirt roads, we hopped on a ferry that crossed the Mekong River allowing us to get to Grandma's in only a couple of hours. Many boats passed us along the way. Some were much more modern while others still had the long ago effect. I opted to not show you a boat picture that I am

Traveling in Vietnam, I encountered several different bathroom situations. Most places were modernized enough to offer a toilet to sit on. Choosing to sit on it albeit was a different story altogether. Perhaps because I have this germ phobia from hearing all the horror stories of being abroad that depending on the cleanliness of the place and whether it offered a seat cover or paper to sit on top

Albeit, when I had discussed this trip with my ex I hadn't taken into account that the trip wouldn't begin until several years later, but here I am in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I hope for the next couple of weeks to document my discovery as I explore the country with my family. It was a long flight as was expected. My cousin and I managed to watch three whole movies and played

With great pleasure, I just received news that my "Sweet Deadly Slumber" has been selected by Charlotte Cotton and will be amongst many amazing images at the Lyceum Theatre Gallery for the The Art of Photography Show on August 29. I am unfortunately out of town, although seeing if I can work around that schedule...but please come to San Diego if you can!

So long overdue by several months, but I finally started looking at these photos and realized that this special night created some spectacular intimate moments that can only happen in these times...all the best to those we love.

I know, I know.....but hey? We all LOVE Obama and wanted to celebrate some of his roots with some good ole southern cooking. Who can say no to fried chicken???? Certainly not I.

While most people were packing their things and en route to their weekend getaway, I splurged this past weekend on a quaint getaway just miles from my home to my archery instructor's studio for a three day, six hour class. It was an beautiful weekend filled with rays of sunshine, making it so much harder for me to be indoors studying. I actually learned quite a bit though and to no fault will

I have spent some time this year exploring some new concepts and ideas with my own photography. I have often wondered whether or not I could push the envelope and make my images look like paintings - to cross the line so to speak. My new work explores that skill while digging deep down to the core of existence and how one might consider how they live their life. Still all fairly new....but I am

I was double dipping this summer by visiting my parents and going to my show "Glimpses in Time" at the Joyce Gordon Gallery when during a walk to the local vietnamese restaurant I found this on the sidewalk. Then again I found a lot of things.

It was an odd summer morning with no sunshine and clear skies to look at. The lot was empty as most of the staff had been on vacation. Still there was this eerie silence in this day.

There's a Polaroid contest through Lightleaks Magazine on Polaroids. It's been awhile since I last picked up my SX-70, but I still have some of the images I once shot several years ago.I never really used my polaroid for the "Fine Art" stuff. I don't even know if the camera ever really ventured out of my personal scope of life. Most of the images were just about me trying to capture the moments

I have been lucky enough to take some time off this summer to enjoy the art scene and wallow in bed whenever it suits me. I have though been radically entering several juried exhibitions (in hopes of getting my work out there) AND made it in a few! With many thanks to: Aline Smithson (my friend and teacher) for directing me in the right direction, Chris Barbour (another good friend) for his

I have a very ambitious friend who wanted to share the talents of his friends and others to the general population. Tricks and jokes were a plenty as we were entertained by the Pocket Circus. From jugglers, comedians, magicians, to demon possessed ventriloquists and yo-yo masters. We even had a pancake flying in the air. What a night it was!

For the past few weeks I have been taking a flash course at the Julia Dean Photo Workshops. I have to admit that I am so used to natural light and spot lighting that this class was inevitable if I wanted to continue to enhance my knowledge of the field. I recall painting though back in the day and had forgotten how much fun it was using a flashlight. This technique doesn't use any photoshop at

Honestly when I thought I was just going to spend the Fourth on the beach, I did not expect all of the OC and then some to be there. It was surreal as I watched from a local home all the summer break crowd party hard and cruise the streets in their holiday best. It was as if I was immersed in a MTV Summer Break fix. We had the beer and dogs to go with it.I have to say that perspectively it sure

It was a field trip day for the fourth grade boys and girls of Telfair Elementary. Electronics were restricted, courtesy of the teachers so the children had to resort to other forms of play at the park. I brought my Hipsmacker hoop with me hoping to get in some exercise. I didn't. The children on the other hand seemed throughly entertained with the hoop for hours and I managed to snap a few great

I am not so sure where I am going these days. My path is so hard to read and the choices are unbareably cruel it seems. No life isn't bad, just a bunch of indecisiveness. My brain is on overload I think. Maybe it's because I am just so damn analytical that I can't seem to relax and just enjoy things as they are. Right now, I am wanting things a bit more literal and simpler. Like this picture, how

This morning I was helping my friend Anita (Amalia's Blooming Bouquet) do some arrangements at the Altadena Country Club for her cousin's wedding. It was a gorgeous morning with a bright cheerful sun that had hidden behind some rainstorms for the past couple of days. Although it was hectic, it was still fun and exciting to see all the beautiful flowers make the room into a glorious occasion.It

1997 I was traveling with some college friends to some port towns off the coast of Italia. They were referred to as Cinque Terre and aptly so. It was a memorable occassion due to the grandiose sighting of the Haley-Bop comet while perched on some rocks by the sea, and an Easter celebration that involved the whole town. I didn't get a picture of the comet, but managed to record the events of the

Hmm, dug this up in my archives. Piano was my first real pet right after I got out of college and moved here to Los Angeles. He was the best. Truly a ham in every way, adoring the camera lens as he posed just like so. I had this crazy notion of submitting photos of him as the NEXT CADBURY BUNNY. I was convinced that they needed a cookies 'n cream bunny. I never did send an image in. This photo

I don't get out much any more to see my best friend and my goddaughters. They live about two hours away in San Diego, so when I do get a chance to see them, it's always a pleasure to snap a moment of their childhood. This was taken the day after Thanksgiving, and the girls were up watching some cartoons. Cookies in hand, they were definitely cookie monsters! Here's a favorite of mine with Gwen.

Thursday evenings I find myself spinning fire/martial arts with the Phoenix Projekt, an LA Based circus group, in Venice. They happen to practice in a parking lot behind a local church. Anyway, here's something I found behind the church.***EDITED DECEMBER 12, 2007: ENTERED INTO JPG MAGAZINE, GO TO www.jpgmag.com/photos/370322 and vote for me!***

Yesterday I was invited to Paul's birthday party. Paul is the son of one of my good friends. He was turning four so his mother promised the works. Of course she followed through with a gargantuan jumper (very popular amongst the children of today), a car shaped pinata,  and a wonderful bar-b-que catered to the children - hot dogs and hamburgers!  As Paul was busily opening up his gifts, one of

LA DECOM. Like Burning Man, this local event takes place along the underside of a bridge in the midst of the downtown area. All walks of life seem to know about this local event, as you see hundreds (maybe thousands) strolling along the street with ease. Music, fire, hoop dancing, wild outfits, this was definitely not your usual crowd. The strange and eclectic roam here. If you weren't a tad bit

I am in a weird flux now. A couple of months ago, I really wanted to sell all my furniture. Just get rid of it. I didn't because my best friend convinced me that I needed it. Well, as of yesterday I craigslisted most of my living room furniture. I am actually getting a great response and am scrounging around for more things to sell. I want more space in this apartment so I can make it into a
