Today we met Aunty Amy, Cait, Chris, Tami & Noah at the Blue Dot Cafe & Coffee Bar for a late breakfast. Then we brought Aunty Amy to the local farmers market and we walked away with a carnivorous orchid which I have yet to ID. While photographing the orchid, I happened to look down …

Honolulu Oct 2011
Semi annual maintenance is what brought me to the islands this time. Or maybe it was the ramen. For whatever reason lately I’ve been on this ramen kick and my photos reflect this trend. I finally got my free cup of coffee from the Honolulu Coffee Company, it only took 2 years to accomplish this. …
Lake Tahoe 2011
We finally went up to Lake Tahoe after putting it off for so many months. Other than the beauty of the area we wanted to visit Jimi & Amy (Maverick too). Unfortunately for us Amy was down in the bay area and Jimi’s availability was limited, so we made the best of the Tahoe scene …
Sunday Football
We paid Tami, Noah, Auntie Amy & Cait a visit to watch the football game. Not. I have no idea who won or who was even playing. All I know is we got to eat RT pizzas & play with Noah & Koa.

Lambtown 2011

NEX nite
We met up with Jim & Kelly tonight at NEX in Oakland. The pressed watermelon salad was excellent as was the duck confit. I don’t have a small camera anymore so I had to make do with iPad photos. We really should do this more often.
Little House
This morning we met the Yuen’s for a late breakfast at the Little House Cafe‘.

New Digic 5 image processor 6X faster than previous one. Better noise reduction & higher dynamic range. Lens is f/2.0 a 24-120mm equivalent from a …
9-11-11
As the 10-year anniversary approached, I wanted to commemorate those who died by photographing the Flight 93 memorial in Union City. I’ve investigated this place earlier and noticed all the up lights so I came last Friday to shoot a nightshot. Unfortunately they did not illuminate the memorial like I thought they would.
