Haven’t seen Jim, Kelly, Steve & Diane in ages. We met at the Chop Bar tonight. The lamb loin was excellent I must say.
Canon G1X
The replacement for my old G12 just got announced, the G1X. I’ve pre-ordered it, sorry Hun.
Crepevine
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.
1st Sushi 2012
We visited our local sushi bar Angel Fish for a nice lunch. Soft shell crab, toro, tako & clam ramen.
Happy New Year 2012
Bunny Lunch
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.
Noah’s Christmas Portrait
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!
Christmas Eve 2011
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.
Japanese Lunch
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.
Osaka Ramen
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…
