Sandy quietly called me to the upstairs window to view what she called a baby hummingbird. I said no way it’s an adult… 2 seconds later the mother flies over to feed it. These are shot through a dirty window so the quality reflects this.
Baby Hummer
Mole Removal
Noticed a tunnel network as I was planting the new flowers. Now some of the flowers have disappeared, this is an act of war. Did some research and it has to be a gopher, uh soon to be dead gopher. 6/12/12 – I won, but I’ll refrain from showing the corpse. If there are any other gophers out there reading this… Be afraid.
Work
We had a demo at the Westin Hotel near SFO so I grabbed a few shots. Of course I really wanted to shoot Arlene. Unfortunately I left my softbox bracket at home so the speedlite without a modifier produced some very hardlight.
Nancy & Aaron
May 5th we helped our friend Teddy shoot his cousin Nancy wedding in San Francisco. I wasn’t restricted by flying so I utilized a paint pole which extends much higher than my monopod. Here’s a very small sample of images from the wedding.
Wayfare Tavern
As a pre-birthday celebration for Sandy I made reservations at the Wayfare Tavern a Tyler Florence Restaurant in San Francisco. We ferried in and had an amazing dinner.
Isabella
Wanting to shoot more portraits, we took Isabella out this morning for a short session by an arched door that I’ve had my eye on for quite a while.
Off the Grid Alameda
Today was an excellent day as we were lucky enough to have an off the grid event here in Alameda. The lines were hellish and it took quite a while to get my Pork Belly Sandwich after I ordered it, but it was really tasty.
Damn Burds
While doing yard work there were a few burds making a ruckus. So I picked up my camera and tried to shoot them. The light was horrible.
Asparagus Challenge
Email from Sandy this afternoon:
Iron Chef Chopped Challenge:
Secret ingredient: asparagus
You have half day to plan.
You can go to the grocery but put only one ingredient in your basket. The rest should be ingredients found at home.
You have 30 minutes to prepare, from the time I get home. Then you need to put your knife down and step away.
Judges: Sandy & Judy
Not wanting to back down from a challenge…
Since I did 2 dishes there was no need for Sandy to cook.
Tern II
A tern was taunting me yesterday, but I’m so outta practice I couldn’t get a good shot.
