Canon Perdido
I never really noticed the streetlights
around here before I started taking my
evening shots of the city. They are
actually very interesting and add a lot
to the photos. Now I try to get them in
the shot whenever I can.
If you look closely to the left of the streetlight
on the sidewalk you will see a couple of black
smudges in the photo. Those were actually
people walking on the sidewalk. The exposure
was almost long enough for them to disappear completely
because of their movement,
but not quite.

Shoreline Access
One of the many beautiful images that are a result of an early morning hound walk during our last trip to Monterey. As I have said before, that was not really my idea of a relaxing trip but the hound sure can sniff out a good photo opportunity!

Frohe Weihnachten! Natale allegro! Merry Christmas!
This is an amazing little restaurant
where we had a wonderful Christmas dinner today.
The first thing that called our attention
to this it was the Maitre D'.
As we got out of our car the first night we were in Carmel
he came over to the wall under the lamp post and
howled at Zoe.
He was very excited to see her, he explained in a German
accent that he had grown up
with hounds just like her. He then asked us
if we were ready for dinner and told us that he had a
patio where Zoe would be welcome.
We were not ready for dinner then, but he left a
real impression on us. Any place that was that friendly
to our hound had to be ok.
It was a good assumption, the waiters were very friendly
and the food was absolutely delicious. A perfect Christmas
memory! We will be back again for sure!

Savoy Nights
This week I had the enviable task of shooting and designing a new
ad for a great restaurant in town. I love this kind of
evening shot, and since the primary objective of the ad
was to let everyone know they are now open for dinner it
seemed the perfect opportunity for some dusk photography.
If you would like to see the finished ad, watch for the upcoming issue of
Santa Barbara Food & Home or contact me
for a sneak preview.
