Angels

My brother made the angel in sharp focus when he was in the 2nd grade. The following year, I had the same teacher, Mrs. Pettit, and made the other one. My angel is best appreciated in soft focus. Happy holidays.

Santa

Doorway

Here's another photo from yesterday's visit to Fort Point.

Discovery

I went down to Fort Point today and for the first time realized that the Fort is open to visitors Friday thru Sunday. I did some exploring.

Mother Hips

My first Mother Hips Christmas show in four years.

Sous Vide

The contraption in the foreground is and immersion circulator, which keeps water heated to extremely precise temperatures, an integral part of the 'sous vide' cooking process. The man in the back is Richie. For those who know Richie, this picture is fittingly framed. Learn more about the man and the method.

Not Armo

I went to see Armo play tonight and was planning on posting a photo from the show. If you click through on this image, you will arrive at my Flickr page where you will find some shots of Dave playing. In an effort to mix it up a little with my subject matter, I decided to post this image. Keep an eye next week for shots Armo's CD release party at the Hotel Utah on December 30th. www.davearmo.com

Almost a week away, I guess it's time.

I'm double-posting today since I missed yesterday. Alex and I played this afternoon. I am now deaf.

Something Different

Cappuccino

I'm boring myself and running short on subjects. Any suggestions for things to shoot?

Lined up

I'm cheating a little and pulling another one from the archive. This was taken in Lhasa, Tibet.

Soft focus

Lampang Skaters

I took this photo in northern Thailand last December. The building in the background is a Thai Buddhist temple. It's hard to believe that a year's gone by since I snapped this one.

Mussels

I took some photos at Pres A Vi this past week that will be running in an SFWeekly ad. Keep your eyes out.

Gazing

Taken in Bayangol, Mongolia.

Inferno

Sous Chef Chad, playing with fire.

Dead Man's Point

A big swell hit yesterday, and Geep and I headed to Dead Man's for a look.

PeCan found it. Richie cooked it. I ate it. Abalone tempura. Big thanks to Richie for bringing the yumminess. Richie's blog: linecook415.blogspot.com

Sous Chef Chad

Juanita's

I had lunch with Magoo at Juanita's on Webster in Oakland. The food was good and the vibe was great. I had the chorizo and eggs.

Cal Water Polo

Mike Sharf, shooting a penalty shot at the MPSF Tournament today. Cal placed 3rd in the tournament with a 12-9 victory over Stanford. It remains to be seen whether the Golden Bears will capture the at-large berth in next week's NCAA Championships. Here's an article from the Chronicle about Sharf: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/11/22/SP27TGP3N.DTL

More Mez

Gomez is back in town for the holiday.

Gordos

I've been a little under the weather lately, which has kept my appetite in a bit of a funk, but I did manage to get these two cuties down today.

Thanksgiving Swordsmanship

Joe, sabring (yes, that is the correct spelling) a magnum of champagne. I was convinced that we would be making a Thanksgiving Day trip to the ER.

Stars played at Bimbo's last night. Good show. The members of Death Cab were all in the audience--they're in town recording their new album.

Of Montreal

Veterans Day

I had a little time before work tonight and headed down to Fort Point to see if the oil spill left anything worth shooting in its wake. Instead I stumbled into the cemetery for the second time this week.

Micro

I spent my rainy saturday handing out microgreens at Whole Foods. Good fun.

Spam Musubi

From Hukilau

Bubble Tea

I went to go see Helio Sequence and Minus the Bear tonight at The Fillmore. Beforehand, I stopped in for some bubble tea. When I was in Thailand, one of these cost me $.30. Today, $5.
