• Wine Tasting at Google San Francisco

  

  I’ve realized there is no way to tell this story without it sounding crazy (in the best possible way). I’m gonna try to explain what happened from my viewpoint without bragging.

• Instagramming in Burlingame

    I always wondered what it would take for me to put down my DSLR and do a “Instagram” day shooting just with my phone.

  The next time I see James Carville and the owner of Maker’s Mark in person, I need to do more than gawk and take a photo.

• Mooning* at Half Moon Bay

  A little place called Half Moon Bay was one of our destinations this past weekend. Jules and I headed out there to relax in the sand and enjoy the sun and surf.

• Pristine Beaches and Bloody Battles, Part I

  (to see the last post in this ongoing story, click here) Morning came too early for me. I had spent two nights in Europe already, and couldn’t seem to get my internal clock right.

• Something Shocking I’m Doing This Year…

  While I’m all for constant improvement and resolutions (any time of year), I’ve never really wanted to admit them publicly. It’s not a privacy thing, it’s really that no one gives a shit (truly) on what I want to improve on. I on the other hand do like hearing what others’ goals are because it…

• Tone Deaf Photography (HDR Part II)

  As I wandered through France, one of my goals for advancing my photography skills was to take a ton of HDR photos. I managed to end up taking quite a bit, and as I slowly go through the hundreds of photos from the trip, a few began to stand out. I tried to go for…

• Jetlag what?

  Paris, France. The name invokes so many feelings and thoughts.  Arguably most of the most popular cities in Europe (if not one of the most well-known),  Paris to me evicts scenes of coffee shops and bread stores with some national monuments mixed in.  Paris would be our first stop on our tour of WWII battlefields…
