159/365. There may not be a heaven. But there is a San Francisco ~ Ashleigh Brilliant
I had, once again, the pleasure of meeting with Rob Tod, the founder of Allagash Beer at the Twitter HQ. Here he is with his lovely wife who flew along with him while their two daughters stayed back in Portland Maine with the Grandparents.
Anyone who loves beer should follow @allagashbeer.
Cheers to you Rob.

142/365. Everybody look at me 'cuz I'm sailin' on a boat ~ Saturday Night Live
(view it large! so worth it!)
As part of our anniversary weekend, Erin and I went on a boat cruise. We waited, waited, and waited long enough... and the infamous pink skies never came. But I was determined to get a photo anyway simply for the plain fact that we were on a boat!
Funny story though, we almost had a near strobe death experience. Apparently I didn't tighten the flash as much as I should have, and it fell right off the adapter and 'almost' into the ocean! The batteries did spill and we lost one of the AA rechargables (we are now awful tree huggers). But as usual, I always carry extra batteries in the SB-900 case (I love these cases!!).
Anyway, enough with this sappy story, I have wine and cheese that must be eaten — you strobo junkies, do your thing.

80/365. Queen of Apocalypse
Today we (Erin and Dave and myself) went on a day trip for Dim sum, then to the Santa Cruz mountains for wine tasting, a brief stop for coffee and tea, then lastly the beach for a mini photoshoot. In the end, it was quite an awesome day.
This photo is a combination of vivid Nikon colors and a vibrant flash. Extra contrast was added in post-production.

Belize: Where the weather is always this awesome and the sunsets are beautiful. This photo was taken handheld (setting up a tripod would have been a mosquito nightmare) near the sunset hour (close to 6pm). The secret to this one was the circular polarizer tilted slightly left and setting WB ~ 5K. The kids were kind enough to let me take pictures of them while they practiced on their body board.
Bliss... er; Belize
