We did a quick trip into the city to check out Balmy Alley for a future photoshoot. Of course it was feeding time so we stepped into The Local Mission Eatery I had the Smoked Salmon Hash and Sandy dined on the Squash Benedict I believe.
Balmy Alley
Zeni
Harpo Harrigan
Tonight our neighbors Paul & Brenda invited us over for dinner. After an incredible halibut meal, I decided to shoot Brenda with her harp.
Baby Hummer
Sandy quietly called me to the upstairs window to view what she called a baby hummingbird. I said no way it’s an adult… 2 seconds later the mother flies over to feed it. These are shot through a dirty window so the quality reflects this.
Mole Removal
Noticed a tunnel network as I was planting the new flowers. Now some of the flowers have disappeared, this is an act of war. Did some research and it has to be a gopher, uh soon to be dead gopher. 6/12/12 – I won, but I’ll refrain from showing the corpse. If there are any other gophers out there reading this… Be afraid.
Work
We had a demo at the Westin Hotel near SFO so I grabbed a few shots. Of course I really wanted to shoot Arlene. Unfortunately I left my softbox bracket at home so the speedlite without a modifier produced some very hardlight.
Nancy & Aaron
May 5th we helped our friend Teddy shoot his cousin Nancy wedding in San Francisco. I wasn’t restricted by flying so I utilized a paint pole which extends much higher than my monopod. Here’s a very small sample of images from the wedding.
Wayfare Tavern
As a pre-birthday celebration for Sandy I made reservations at the Wayfare Tavern a Tyler Florence Restaurant in San Francisco. We ferried in and had an amazing dinner.
Isabella
Wanting to shoot more portraits, we took Isabella out this morning for a short session by an arched door that I’ve had my eye on for quite a while.
Off the Grid Alameda
Today was an excellent day as we were lucky enough to have an off the grid event here in Alameda. The lines were hellish and it took quite a while to get my Pork Belly Sandwich after I ordered it, but it was really tasty.
