    Memoirs :: Infused Studios’ Visual Journal

    Hey All,

    After 9 action packed days at WPPI, Rina and I decided to chillax by spending some quality time together and walking The Strip. 18 of the world’s largest 25 hotels are located on this street in Las Vegas and it’s certainly changed since the last time my parents brought me here back in the days of Circus Circus.

    Haha being photographers and all, we thought we’d blend in with the tourists and whip out our cameras to snap a few shots of the night scene. Despite the glamour in the photos, a local taxi driver told us that business is dire compared to last year as the global recession is hitting them hard. We noticed it at the McClellan Las Vegas Airport as traffic seems to have died down.  Good for us as we can walk the Strip a lot faster this time around!  =)

    Love my Canon EF-S 10-22mm lens!! (Rina’s already giving me the “L” on her forehead). It’s by far my favourite lens to use in Las Vegas because of the sheer scale of everything. Can’t wait to be back home and share our trip with our family and friends!

    Ciao peeps!

  • Anita + Jesse :: Trash and Trade (Part III of III)

    Words by Maureen Young

    Love, love, love how destination weddings = a day or two after for creatives with the newlyweds!  We had a blast with Anita + Jesse’s entourage (a.k.a members of the bridal party) as we went to Hard Rock Resort & Casino and the local market for days 1 & 2 of the creatives.  Our original plan for the market was put on hold by more thunderstorms but we found a luxe locale and spot of sunshine.

    Lifeguards warned us off the beach as thunderstorms were, yet again, approaching.  Much to  Jesse’s dismay neither of us were prepared to dive in after him  so he couldn’t play in the crashing waves.  Sorry Jesse, Rina’s had just 1 too many instances of losing her shorts in calmer waters!

    Day 2 we went to the local market with bodyguards Ray & Colin to keep the vendors at bay.  Anita got her groove on and danced in the streets, much to everyone’s delight as tourists and vendors who cheered from the stalls.  She also found a shawl in the same colour as the bridesmaids’ dresses and we all chipped in so she could have a souvenir of her Dominican wedding.

    Anita bought her dress in China and never had any intention of taking it home with her, even though her mother-in-law was quite keen for her to have it for the Edmonton reception (although we all joked it was for Jesse’s sister Marianne to have for her wedding day).  Instead, Anita wanted her dress to give someone else’s love story a stylish flourish who otherwise may not be able to afford it.  A pregnant vendor asked Anita for the dress as she was hoping to get married after the baby was born.  Anita was super happy that her dress would give another girl the opportunity to have a beautiful wedding and traded the dress from some jewellery and a sundress (well she couldn’t exactly walk around nude!)

    Thank you Anita + Jesse for having us out to your wonderful and crazy wedding.  Your friends and family were awesome and we got a chance to hang out with everyone, seeing some old pals and meeting some new friends. Your free spirited personalities go soooo well with us!

    Loved your Edmonton reception as well!

    Love. You. Always.
