This caught me eye, so I spent hours off and on trying to capture it.

Mutha’s Day 2015
This year we made the decision to make Tonkotsu Ramen for Mother’s Day. The broth was made during 2 prior weekends as the pork bones have to be boiled for 12hrs. I was so focused on the food I forgot to take any photos other than a Aunty portrait after lunch. I was shooting into …
Noah & Nico
This morning I decided to attempt to shoot the Yuen (Noah & Nico) boys. I choose a deck behind Harbor Bay Sports Club. As always I have a plan of how these shoots will go, but the kids are have a different agenda. The sun was right in their faces which is a no-no but …

Sow Bug/Woodlouse/Pill Bug/Roly Poly
Noticed a sow bug on the ground while I was working in the yard… So I shot em. I can’t tell you how difficult this is. The front element of my lens (M-PE 65mm) is so close and every time it moves, I have to shift the tray then refocus. It’s a pain in the …
Shanky
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.
