Tomales Bay Oysters For All......Yum!

Had a great time with friends at Tomales Bay pigging out on Oysters & beer in celebration of summer and a friend's birthday. Damn good time....It's late, I'm sleepy so I'm just gonna leave you with some images (that you'll hopefully enjoy) that I was able to grab during the pig-out feast. Oddly enough, none of them include pictures of oysters, but I'd probably get killed showing pictures my friend's pigging out in public...

Go try out Tomales Bay Oyster Company if you have some time and take along some good company. It'll be a fun experience, promise! :D

Soup for all . . .

My nephews & nieces LOVE drinking the chinese soups that my Mom makes. They can't get enough and run down the stairs to get it. Here's my niece Kailey slurping it down with a straw as fast as she possibly can. [ISO 250 - 160mm @ f/2.8 - 1/100]

New York Instance . . .

Took a few days off from work to enjoy New York City and had a blast. Some of the things I did in no particular order:

* I ate a lot . .
* Was surprised that Paul McCartney was performing live on Letterman's studio balcony right after getting off the E train from JFK on Broadway & 53rd
* Saw puppets singing about the internet & porn
* Ate some more . . .
* Got a view of Central Park that I've never seen before
* Saw a princess and an orge "butt kiss with a fart" and sing about happily ever after
* And I ate a little more . . .


This shot is surprisingly taken at Central Park. I never knew that it had a waterfall! [ISO 100 - f/22.0 - 1s]



So much to see in Central Park. A view of a pond through the railings of a bridge. [ISO 100 - f/4.5 - 1/125]




A window to "The Loch." [ISO 100 - f/7.1 - 1/60]



A night shot of the Rockefeller tower before a security guard yelled at me to close up my tripod at midnight. There were only 10 people or so in the whole courtyard. Who was gonna trip? Boooooooo! Oh.....note to self, "Need wider lens, 17mm on a crop sensor isn't enough!" [ISO 100 - f/9.0 - 1.3s]



A couple of shots in the West 4th Street Station of my girlfriend, of which, I can't decide which one I like better. You tell me. [ISO 400 - f/2.8 - 1/15]

Fourth of July. . .

Happy Fourth of July weekend everyone! Hope everyone had a fun filled weekend. I know I did...I ATE A LOT! :) It's my all time favorite thing to do wherever it is I am. Had my first fried Twinkie at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and ate a bunch of ribs, salsa, hot dogs, lettuce wraps and pie at my friend's place......oh and had some Japanese ramen and a Jamba Juice to top it off today. Did I mention I love to eat?

Got a shot of my friend's awesome Shiba Inu. Apparently she does this all the time and loves staring out the window and checking out the neighborhood.
