The life and times of a true knucklehead – No photos to be used without permission

Orchid in the Window

This caught me eye, so I spent hours off and on trying to capture it.

Mutha’s Day 2015

This year we made the decision to make Tonkotsu Ramen for Mother’s Day. The broth was made during 2 prior weekends as the pork bones have to be boiled for 12hrs.

I was so focused on the food I forgot to take any photos other than a Aunty portrait after lunch. I was shooting into the sun so I brought out the Alien Bees strobe with a 7ft umbrella, full power.

Noah & Nico

This morning I decided to attempt to shoot the Yuen (Noah & Nico) boys. I choose a deck behind Harbor Bay Sports Club. As always I have a plan of how these shoots will go, but the kids are have a different agenda. The sun was right in their faces which is a no-no but I thought I would challenge myself.

Koa’s Spa Day

We had to get Koa ready for Easter Sunday so a little dog polo and a mango scented bath was called for.

A few portraits after her spa treatment.

Coot Wars

Sat out this morning coffee in one hand 7D2 in the other. Not a big fan of coots but they were very active. It must be mating season. So do they fly or walk on water?

Cormorant poop @ 10fps

Its so easy to shoot burds in our backyard. Cormorants are playful and very active. They are either diving for fish or spreading the wings in the sun

 My Sony A6000 can capture 10fps (frames per second) I’ll spare you all the poop shots but I knew he would do this, the bastard.

Sow Bug/Woodlouse/Pill Bug/Roly Poly

Noticed a sow bug on the ground while I was working in the yard… So I shot em.

I can’t tell you how difficult this is. The front element of my lens (M-PE 65mm) is so close and every time it moves, I have to shift the tray then refocus. It’s a pain in the butt.

Shanky

When we dined at Bodega Bay I had a great Lamb Shank dish. I liked it so much I did my best to duplicate it.

I have to say it came out great I think I nailed it. Braised in a whole bottle if Zin and 2.5 hrs later.
