Photo of the Day [POTD]: around the bend

Why is it that we keep looking so far ahead? We sometimes tend to forget that what we are looking for is just actually around the corner.

A cooler full of ice cold beer and sand between my toes. I could stay under the sun all day.

digital lomo like

Jul 29, 2009 Lumix, photography

I decided to fit my Lomo ColorSplash Flash on my Lumix, just to test the results.

While it has become a bit difficult to get the right exposure, the results are pretty fun to view. In essence, with the Lumix output of semi- vignetting and the color imbalance caused by the flash, the results are lomo-like.

Here are a few samples.

Are you putting a price tag on my value to you? A little appreciation like a pat on the back could go further than a fat paycheck.

party at 28Narra

Jul 29, 2009 Lumix, miscellaneous, personal

A meal at Tito Del and Tita Che’s is always a challenge. A challenge not to eat too much. From the appetizers to the dessert, there is always food aplenty. Add some wine (okay, a lot) and you’re in for a bit of gluttonous debauchery. Intended or not. Of course, this is on a regular day. But last night was a bit different. Lisa and Jon are going back to Boston and are pregnant, there were a few birthdays to celebrate (from both the Aldaba-Lim and Lazaro side), so naturally, the food took a massive upgrade.

From the Jamon Serrano to the various cheeses to the 2 huge slabs of Roast Beef to the pastas to the endless Häagen-Dazs and free-flowing wine and champagne, I didn’t know where to begin and when to end. As a result, I only have a few photos to show for it. In fact, most of them were taken when there was no food around.

Of course, as the night wore down, our attention turned to the star of our gatherings, Pilar.
