Every since my family moved to Melrose, I have felt that the city welcomed us with open arms. When the Melrose Human Rights Commission and the City of Melrose held a contest to redesign the logo, I jumped at the opportunity to show my love and pride for Melrose. I was moved to create a symbol that encapsulates the city’s sense of love and community. I wanted to send a clear message that Melrose is welcoming and that we rise up for equality with One Heart Melrose.

On May 19, 2016, I started the #100dayproject, invented by Elle Luna & The Great Discontent. I want to challenge myself to take notice of the enormous and tiny things that happen every day and document it with a photo. Hopefully, in my 100 day journey, I’ll be a better photographer and storyteller.
Periodically, I’ll check in with an update. Follow my progress on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/botsang or hashtag at #100daysofBoTsang
Let’s kick if off with cake!

Jeffrey Ryan reached out to me to help him create a blog for his law business. Back in 2010, I designed and built Jeffrey Ryan’s corporate website. Just recently, he wanted a blog that complemented his site and provided a platform for him to spread the good work he was doing and raise his image in the marketplace. Due to the State Bar of California Ethics Opinion, blogs that are inside of websites are considered advertising, so the blog had to exist on it’s own and be separated from his corporate site.

I’m obsessed with time travel – in movies, books, art..the list goes on. There is something historical and magical about time lapse or time series photography. I love seeing the beauty in a span of time, and yet a feeling of final (eventual) inevitability captured in one photo.
Playing off of this idea, starting with the first year of getting married, we have taken a portrait on each anniversary. Here are the first 5 for the first 5 years.

Quilting can be very cathartic and meditative. You have to be very precise with the cuts of fabric and sewing all the little pieces together into one. I’m a newbie at quilting, so I opted for a simple block asymmetrical pattern that I can do a little free-styling to make it modern.
