			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">I am super excited to share that I will be exclusively using Leather Craftsmen to build my albums for 2012. I love their quality and customer service. The truth is, albums are very expensive to produce and it may seem that photographers get away with a killing on the profit margins of album building&#8230;.but it is a very labor intensive undertaking, requiring skill, software and a lot of time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If you are a former client of mine and have contemplated purchasing an album but weren&#8217;t able to at the time of your wedding, please contact me!  It&#8217;s never too late!   And for those of you who are planning out your wedding packages with a specific budget in mind, you can always add an album for your one year anniversary.  You will always have the opportunity to own a beautiful wedding album later. I can tell you from shooting hundreds of weddings, there is no greater feeling than delivering an album to a client who&#8217;s completely happy with their experience.  Check out a few of my samples from Leather Craftsmen:</p>
<p><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="_DSF7068" src="http://secondprintproductions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DSF7068.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="598" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="_DSF7069" src="http://secondprintproductions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DSF7069.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="598" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="_DSF7073" src="http://secondprintproductions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DSF7073.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="598" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="_DSF7075" src="http://secondprintproductions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DSF7075.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="598" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="_DSF7077" src="http://secondprintproductions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DSF7077.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="598" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="_DSF7080" src="http://secondprintproductions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DSF7080.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="598" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="_DSF7081" src="http://secondprintproductions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DSF7081.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="598" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> We also carry several colors!  Here&#8217;s a sample of Ivory:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">I met these guys through my friend Patrick Bensen who&#8217;s a drummer for this talented band <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ben-Ripani-Music-Co/161122780603143?sk=app_178091127385">Ben Ripani Music Co</a>. It was cool to be asked to shoot their new CD cover and it was something I&#8217;ve never done before so I thought I&#8217;d give it a try.  After showing up and setting up some lighting, I find out I only had a 1/2 hour to do the photoshoot!  All things considered, I think we did alright given the time we had.  Check out their <a href="http://www.myspace.com/benripani">MySpace page</a>.  Here is their <a href="http://benripani.com/band/">main website</a>.  They&#8217;re super talented and ready to hit your music store shelves soon!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">2011 brings a new chapter to my 4 year old business.  I wanted to introduce a sneak peek into our new studio office.  Secondprint Productions is currently sharing this fantastic new office studio space with Jimmy Tan Photography and Mike Fan Photography.  Both of these guys have been instrumental in making 2010 a very successful year for us.  Opening this studio office with the other guys allows us to collaborate on wedding shoots, meet with clients in an elegant space and get work done.  Come by and visit if you&#8217;re in the area.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">A lot of you know that I&#8217;ve been here on assignment with the <a href="http://www.lausanne.org/" target="_blank">Lausanne Congress on World Evangelism</a>.  We&#8217;re nearing the end of the Congress and I finally had a chance to take a day off from 4 long days of shooting non-stop from 8am &#8211; 11pm. If you&#8217;d like to check out the photos from the event, you can go <a href="http://www.lausanne.org/cape-town-2010/photos.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Incidentally, one of them actually made the front page of the local paper here in Cape Town.  Here&#8217;s a shot from our trip to Cape Point, South Africa.  It&#8217;ll most likely be the southernmost point on this globe that I&#8217;ll ever be in my life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve always had an open approach to photography in terms of learning and trying new things.  I&#8217;ve never felt that things had to be a certain way.  That being said, I appreciate your comments and even the criticisms because I feel that&#8217;s one of the ways I can learn and grow in my photography.  If you see a photo that you wished was composed differently, let me know.  Speak your mind. I take no offense to constructive criticism with my work.  I don&#8217;t take my work light heartedly but at the same time, I don&#8217;t take it so seriously like in a pretentious, art-snobby way.  I&#8217;m here to learn and grow and I&#8217;d love to hear from you guys.</p>
<p>This is my 4th official year with this Secondprint Productions adventure and I&#8217;m very thankful that it&#8217;s seen a lot of growth.  I&#8217;ve shot over 300 events in this short time, yet I still feel like I&#8217;m just starting.  Growing and learning is such a long and hard process.  The blood, sweat, tears and lack of sleep naturally became a part of my life when I decided to take this journey of starting a business.  I can&#8217;t even remember a day where I&#8217;ve had a proper night of rest these past few months.  But God has been good.  I have a very supportive wife, family and network of friends that keep me inspired and motivated.  To you guys, I owe a debt of gratitude.  I&#8217;m also blessed with clients who love and trust in my work.  For my past and present clients (especially the ones that are still waiting for their wedding photos) you guys rock!   Thank you for making me love what I do and also for your patience.  I learn something new at every wedding I shoot and I hope that continues to drive my energy and spirit to push forward.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sharing all of this because recently I was able to move out of my home office and into a new studio office space.  With the addition of Jordyn, my second daughter, the Yau household got a little bit tighter and space is quickly becoming an issue.  It was always a dream of mine to have a dedicated office so I wouldn&#8217;t have to make my home cluttered with my mess.  I&#8217;m not claiming any success with my business or taking anything for granted.  Investing into this office space seemed like the next step to take.  Thankfully, I have that place now and it&#8217;ll soon be my new stomping grounds for timely, efficient, and productive work.  I&#8217;m excited for the future and I want to thank you guys for all the support you&#8217;ve shown me and my family.   Thanks for following!</p>
<p>- Albert</p>
