While I could care less about a sporting event I did want to shoot the San Francisco City Hall with it’s 49ers colored lights, so we made it a date night in the city. I ended up taking so long that we had to eat at Taco Bell so we could catch the ferry back …

SF Orange
Picked up Tita Nene last night and noticed SFO was adorned in Giants orange. While I don’t follow any sports, the orange glow was quite cool. I’ll try to shoot Coit tower as it is lit up, too.
Kauai 2012

Friday Ferry
It’s ferry in Friday night. We had dinner at Shanghai 1930. Tea Smoked Squab, Garlic Noodles with Shrimp, Crispy Short Ribs and a Red Bean Crepe for dessert. They even poured me a Scotch on the rocks for free! The food was great, but the place was too dark to shoot any photos.
Happy Birthday… to us
Just to prove you don’t need a big DSLR camera to capture fireworks. Here’s a few from Sandy shot with her compact SD880IS propped up on her knee.
