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.

Chad of the Week

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.

Abalone

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
