With no physical get togethers advised, we decided to do a communal cooking kinda thingie. For lunch Tom bought 4 lbs of the biggest damn shrimp I’ve ever seen. He politely ask me to do the honors.

Merry Christmas 2020
Woke up early as usual, but today the colors were intense. I didn’t have a location plan so I just ran out to the shore. Here are some random fotos of this very strange Holiday season. I’ve discovered for whatever reason I’m drinking a bit more than normal. Sandy got me a Japanese steak for …
Christmas Cards 2020
With all the bad 💩 that’s happening I needed something to cheer me up, so as an ongoing project I scheduled a few shoots with our neighbors for Christmas cards. For us the sunset was horrible, but we had a limited number of weekend days before Christmas so we decided to go at the last …

Christmas 2019
We spent this years Christmas in San Diego. Our 1st stop was see my Ma and a great dinner at Furaibo, which I forgot to photograph. Mommi put in a request for my Ma’s tangerines. We were not ready for the response… The following morning off to LAX for a Mommi & Brian pickup. From …
Weihnachtsmarkt 2019
Every year our neighbors Eike & Spencer throw a German night market party. The usual suspects, great food & Eike’s mulled spiced wine. It started to raining so we quickly setup a white tent which worked to my advantage when taking these shots as the light bounced everywhere.
