When we dined at Bodega Bay I had a great Lamb Shank dish. I liked it so much I did my best to duplicate it. I have to say it came out great I think I nailed it. Braised in a whole bottle if Zin and 2.5 hrs later.

Birthday Lunch 2015
This year I wanted to do something different for my birthday. I wanted to relive the living under one roof, rent-a-house (Half Moon Bay) in Italy type thing. Well that didn’t quite work out so we decided on lunch instead. Luckily Rick’s friend, Francisco owns Flavors in HMB so off we went. Food was excellent, …
Birthday 2015
This year for my birthday Sandy made reservations at the Bodega Bay Lodge. We could only stay 1 day but it was so relaxing. Their restaurant, the Duck Club was excellent. I had a superb lamb shank and Sandy had the sole in parchment paper, neither of which gave us diarrhea. The next morning we …
Happy Valentines Day 2015
I have to give myself these projects in order to be a more rounded fotog. So last night I had Sandy fling some wine (backyard) in an attempt to create a heartshaped pattern in honor of V-Day. This is not original, I got the idea from Gavin Hoey via the Adorama channel on youtube. This …
Glass Woes
Sylvia a family friend, asked me to photograph her glass art work. Thinking it would be a snap I quickly agreed. I found out the hard way that shooting glass is really difficult. Her work is beautiful so I wanted to do it justice. The wave sculpture below would not accept any side light as …
Grandma Maeda
While she passed away back in November we finally put Grandma Maeda to rest. She made it to 102, which is incredible these days. Sadly it was probably the last time we will all get together. I did not feel right taking photos at the funeral, as it just feels too morbid. Afterwards we put …
Livermore Wines
Paul & Brenda invited us to go wine tasting in Livermore. We have never been there so we jumped at the chance. Murrietta’s Well was our first stop. On to Wente. We had to get past Hank though (major dogmeat). Lunch was at Uncle Yu’s. And finally Tenuta Wines.
Wedding Bells ♫
This past Saturday we witnessed the wedding of Mary Ann (Bunny) & Quan. The ceremony was at the Five Wounds Church. It was a full catholic mass… in Vietnamese. Not wanting to step on the hired photog toes I only shot a couple. Reception was held at the Dolce Hayes Mansion.
Miami Sept 2014
I had to spend some time training at the home office 30 minutes south of Miami. Luckily I was in the same class as my co-worker buddy Jhonathan. Training was quite demanding so we didn’t go out much other than to eat dinner in the local area. Friday night Jhonathan did give me some exposure …
LA Labor Day weekend 2014
We haven’t been down to see my Ma in awhile and Jon was playing in Irvine. So what better time to drive down. We arrived late Saturday with just enough time for a quick change before heading to the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. Jon was nice enough to get us VIP parking which made the walk from the parking …
