Haven’t seen Jim, Kelly, Steve & Diane in ages. We met at the Chop Bar tonight. The lamb loin was excellent I must say.

Haven’t seen Jim, Kelly, Steve & Diane in ages. We met at the Chop Bar tonight. The lamb loin was excellent I must say.
The replacement for my old G12 just got announced, the G1X. I’ve pre-ordered it, sorry Hun.
We just happened to be in Palo Alto this morning so we had a late breakfast at Crepevine. Sandy had the smoked salmon & I had the New Orleans crab cakes benedict.
We visited our local sushi bar Angel Fish for a nice lunch. Soft shell crab, toro, tako & clam ramen.
My buddy, Mary Ann (Bunny), was in town so we met up for lunch at Amber India in Santana Row. I thought this would be an excellent opportunity to shoot her so I asked Mary Ann if she was willing to pose for a few shots for me. Of course my strobe refuse to fire after about 5 shots. While I was tending to that, Sandy took the camera and Mary Ann and shot a number of really good ones, damn her. Right in the middle of our shot we ran into Cait & her friend Ari. It’s a small world.
Now that Christmas morning has passed I can post Noah’s portrait that Tami & Chris asked me to shoot for a Christmas present. I love this tugging on his socks shot. He so cute!
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. Unfortunately I ran out of time and did not get any more than the group shots.
Friday we did something we never do, have a sushi lunch. It was strange being at Angel Fish with the sun still up and not slurping down my favorite beer Echigo.
Had Vietnamese Bánh Mi for lunch yesterday. As I was walking out I noticed a ramen shop next door, Doh! I love tonkotsu ramen, so today I twisted Sandy’s arm and we went to Dublin. After all that driving it was just okay. The ramen quest continues…
