The life and times of a true knucklehead – No photos to be used without permission
I ferried in this evening to see the San Francisco Symphony perform a free outdoor concert. Unfortunately I got there so late it was impossible to get a good seat let alone a good photo. With that in mind we decided to grab a little something to eat. Pizza Orgasmica just off the Embarcadero! We did manage to see the parrots of Telegraph Hill but my little G1X was not up to the task. There were about 20 in a tree and soon as I turned my camera off they all flew! Got to learn that patience thing.
This morning we woke up early to participate in the local California Coastal Clean Up day. In 2010, 1.2 million pounds of trash was removed. Number one item collected? Let’s just say I have a renewed dislike for smokers who don’t discard their butts & folks who don’t pick up after their dogs. Even though we felt dirty after the clean up, we walked across the street to the Off the Grid at South Shore. I had to try the Senor Sisig burrito & it was worth the wait. Sandy got the tacos.
Unfortunately we arrived to late to photograph some of the strong man games, but we did manage to see some pretty cool birds of prey.
Today marks our 12 year anniversary. The time went by so quickly and I can’t imagine life without Sandy. To celebrate, we had lunch at Michael Chiarello’s Bottega in Yountville.
Saw this on the way up to Sacramento so I had to pull off the highway to shoot it.
Tonight we met Aunty Sachi & Uncle Russell at Marica in Oakland.
This afternoon we went to Jack London Square to Pedalfest.
Earlier I got the new 600EX-RT flash, which can be controlled via radio waves rather than the infrared light of the old. Well the ST-E3-RT transmitter finally arrived 4 months later. Does this mean I can finally get rid of my Pocket Wizards and travel lighter?
I decided to use Judy as my model since she’s not union so I don’t have to pay her much. She eats like a burd.
Last night we went to the Mountain Winery to see Heart perform. The show was excellent.
We spent the weekend in LA on a mixed family adventure.
We visited Tawny’s neighborhood (Freda was in town) and had breakfast at the Alcove Cafe.
Later that evening we met up my niece Bethany for her exposure to Filipino food via Gerry’s Grill.
Sunday was Cuban brunch at Versailles in Manhattan Beach.
A couple of new finds at Marukai in Gardena.
