Last Saturday we said goodbye to Uncle John. He just missed his 90th Birthday. Family came in from all over the world to pay their respects. I just captured a few shots…
Goodbye Uncle John
City Hall
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 home. It was a incredible date night.
Background LED
Bought a crazy disco spinning LED light on Ebay to use for my backgrounds.
Just for fun I shot Sandy with a 5D3, EOS-M & a G1X. Single 600EX-RT in a med softbox camera left, white reflector camera right.
Happy Birthday Tami
Last Sunday Chris threw a surprise birthday party for Tami at la Penca Azul. Lighting conditions were difficult. I was bouncing my flash but the colored walls & ceiling were giving my pix a strange color.
RIP Judy
Today tragedy fell upon us as our beloved Judy Burd passed away. By our best estimate she was about 20 years old. While she and I never quite got along, she was usually my 1st subject whenever I got a new camera or lens. About the only interaction we had was the UFC game, whereas I would thrust my elbow at her and she would attack it with a soft bite and a protesting scream. She has been featured in my blog a number of times starting from August 2007 (do a search on “Judy”). She will be missed.
Dr B’s…
Had Ben & Paulette over yesterday for breakfast. We served sisig silog & pancakes. I shot a few portraits of them.
Brown Sugar Kitchen
This morning we met up with Teddy & Christine to have breakfast at Brown Sugar Kitchen in Oakland. We just had to try the chicken & waffles.
Thanksgiving 2012
Had the in-laws over this year and had a great time. Sandy made an incredible corn bread, her famous curried cashew salad, cranberry sauce, oven roasted squash & a double layer pumpkin cheesecake. I did a flat bread pizza appetizer, a parsnip puree and deep fried a turkey and didn’t take a single picture of the food! What a photographer I am.
Family get together
I was able to get together with family last Friday for a little holiday lunch. I haven’t seen Jon in what seem like 2o years! I chose Bocanova as I’ve walked by a few times and always wanted to try ’em. The food was excellent as was the company. I have to bring Sandy there.
Pilipino Portraits
After a huge Thanksgiving meal I asked for a portrait sitting and this is what I got.
