Happy New Year

I'm currently working on a project on the local Vietnamese community. As a portion of the project I spent the weekend photography New Year festivities. People in the community have been welcoming to me being there, though there are still the normal obstacles to overcome.
I'm also doing this project in multimedia. It's a chance for me to practice and possibly fail. It truly is a challenge, not only in the sense of learning the equipment and a process, but also in that I'm trying it all together: photo, video and audio. It is a full semester of learning FinalCut, Flash, digital audio and video, researching multimedia storytelling and the technicalities of video.

Regardless, here are some images from the weekend.
