Christmas Cards 2020

With all the bad 💩 that’s happening I needed something to cheer me up, so as an ongoing project I scheduled a few shoots with our neighbors for Christmas cards.

For us the sunset was horrible, but we had a limited number of weekend days before Christmas so we decided to go at the last minute. Sandy found a tree near the ferry terminal that had sort of a Christmas tree shape, so we brought some lights.

We got our communication mixed up so it was a bit too late in the evening to shoot Paul & Brenda, but I captured a great shot of them.

We had a great time with Tom, Marika, Keira, Dominic & Marcus, even if the street lights didn’t cooperate.

Eike & Spencer was my final shoot. Eike was the inspiration for this one. Our original shoot date was raining and she gave me the umbrella idea. Although as Sandy pointed out the umbrella looks a bit odd without any rain.

Inside the Westcott 7ft umbrella housed 2 Godox V1s & a strip light at their feet for a bit of fill.

Thanksgiving 2020

This year Thanksgiving was very different. We just stayed at home the 2 of us. I still got to grill my spatchcocked burd, but gone were those obnoxious kids running and yelling all over the damn place… although I do miss that.

As mentioned previously I roasted the purple potatoes (a new technique). The water turned green when I boiled em, that scared the sh*t outta me… not enough that I wouldn’t eat em though.

The rest of the weekend consisted of leftovers. I did make my 1st attempt at Omurice (needs work) and we got some great desserts from your neighbors.
