.... and wet.
But most definitely worth it.
Golden Gate. Straight up.
Ah San Francisco. I look forward to the day I return. But this summer I'm heading to Portland for the Oregon Brewers Festival.
Wish I didn't have to wait six months.
Oh well. It'll be worth it.
boots
Nothing exciting. Just my new boots at the very end of the breakwater. Note the orange paint.
poor wall-e
After a little archive digging I came across this shot. One that I've had for years! I took this wandering around at Point Hope shipyard one day when I was supposed to be doing something else probably.
I've posted this before I just know it.... but I've learned so much about photoshop since I processed this one and thought I'd have another crack at it. Boom! A super wide crop and some contrast and colour adjustments it's a whole new beast!
I just might have to get this one printed.
pointless
It's sad to see.
Christmas in Victoria
At Butchart Gardens last week camera in hand. Not the easiest lighting to work with.... but can be a lot of fun with out of focus type of stuff. However I just set this one up on the ground and got Sarah's boots in the shot. Had to crop it a bit because there was too much sidewalk at the bottom. Now if I only had one of those Gorillapods. Hmmm..... Ho Ho Ho?
Tomorrow I will be enjoying my family's 10th year in a row at the Blue Crab for our annual Christmas Eve massive seafood feast! Then back to mom's place for prezzies and champagne.
Not your typical Christmas, but that's the best part.
If I was to insert a random 90's hiphop reference, it would be courtesty of Digital Underground. And that would be simply "Do what cha like"
Merry Christmas!
Nestled
After an evening with Sarah and some friends at Butcharts last night (photos to come) I was wandering home this morning and roamed through the park on what was a remarkably calm and serene morning in the village.
There were thousands of leaves amongst the fir branches on the ground, but this one just happened to be sitting up a little. Almost as if it was saying "Hello. I would like my photo taken please."
Happy to oblige little guy.
My 50mm is in its wheelhouse right here. With the aperture set wide open at f1.4, I get beautiful blurring in the front and the back. And with the way the fir branches are laid about, I almost get a bit of a swirling effect.
One more time Brooklyn
Just another shot from that Brooklyn pairing last month. Photoblog getting dusty. No goods.
Just a little Vino
Been moonlighting as a wine consultant with my partner in crime Tanya Loeppky. This is one of our clients collections AFTER he had thrown out all the spoiled stuff.
It's an amazing collection and they have lots of wine to enjoy this holiday season!
Find of the night? A 2002 Mission Hill Oculus (Ridiculous!) and a long past expiration but incredibly rare nonetheless..... 1976 Chateau La Tour Martillac Grand Cru.
Elk Lake in the fall
I was coming back into town from a job, and just had to stop.
