Thanksgiving 2012

Had the in-laws over this year and had a great time. Sandy made an incredible corn bread, her famous curried cashew salad, cranberry sauce, oven roasted squash & a double layer pumpkin cheesecake. I did a flat bread pizza appetizer, a parsnip puree and deep fried a turkey and didn’t take a single picture of …

Creature of the Sea

Our schedules were not in sync for Halloween so I asked the Yuens to bring Noah out tonight to the local beach. I figured that would be the perfect place to capture a photo of the famed Alameda Baby Teal Octopus. In keeping up with the sea theme they bought me dinner at Angel Fish, …

Memorial Day 2012

Because of some family obligations I only had 10-15mins to shoot this, but I’m glad I went even if for just a short time.

Christmas Eve 2011

This year Jon & Kathy got bullied into hosting Christmas Eve, by Aunty Karen. She also made Jimi cook dinner? As I mentioned earlier I have to get better at shooting portraits so I used this opportunity to try a few. I lugged a car full of equipment so I could try some new gear. …

Noah’s 1st Thanksgiving

Fun with the family, as usual. Enough food to feed an army, as usual. The worst part of the evening? While I was carving the burd Noah got his 1st taste of turkey… he absolutely hated it, spit it out in dramatic fashion. I would have loved to have captured that moment.

The day B4 July 4th eve…

July 2nd in other words. We all met at Jon & Kathy’s for an old fashioned BBQ party. As usual I spent too much time stuffing my face and laughing at high volumes and didn’t take any photos.

Memorial Day 2011

I usually go to our local Veterans park to photograph the Memorial Day events, but this year I forgot and committed to a family outing in San Francisco. It didn’t feel right skipping this tradition, so I went out to the Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno yesterday to shoot a few photos to …
