Janet and Bernard are in town for a few days on their way to a six week tour of seven European countries. How fun! We helped them begin their trip last night with a fabulous meal at one of San Francisco’s most famous restaurants – Postrio. Bernard brought three outstanding bottles of wine to drink…

Nuclear Sunsets
Today’s Photos of the Day were shot at Salem Nuclear Plant near Salem, New Jersey and at the Farley Nuclear Plant near Dothan, Alabama. Most of you know that in my previous life I helped inspect nuclear plants. I always traveled to these plants with my camera. Unfortunately, even though I was in the industry…
Oh-Ann and Lexy
I dated Ann when I was 24 – half a lifetime ago! Today, Ann and her 19 year old daughter Lexy dropped in on their way to a wedding in Santa Rosa. While Alexis napped in their room at the cozy Nob Hill Hotel, I subjected Ann to a whirlwind tourist treatment. The usual –…
Tachibana – Take II
Last night finds us at one of our most favorite restaurants with two of our most favorite people – Chris and Ben. We started the evening with wine and a cool sunset on their balcony. At the restaurant, Sam, our favorite sushi chef tried a special dish on us – he calls it “Wheel of…
Do Nothing Day
So we spent our Saturday doing (almost) nothing – and it was beautiful. We both loved it! Of course, that does not excuse me from my resposibility to post something to my blog! Guess it’s time to drag out another old image and call it Photo of the Day! I shot this 180 dgeree panorama…
Huntington Lake – 2003
Our annual camping trip to Lake Huntington was a blast, although, I wouldn’t exactly call it “roughing it”. The Hunter clan believes in packing everything – yes, even the kitchen sink. For a blow-by-blow account of the event, check out Wendy’s highly entertaining blog entry. If you’d like to see even more images of our…
Persistence Pays
My fans are demanding that I do some blogging. I have 80 pictures of a recent camping trip – four of which might make it to these pages. Sorry I-‘ve been really busy and really lazy lately. It’s just so much work to get my images ready for: Printing Uploading to Ofoto E-mailing Blogging Each…
My Fabulous Coworkers
I was asked to take a group shot of everyone at work as a parting gift for one of our coworkers, who is leaving to join the Computer Science faculty at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst and “pursue a career in teaching and bioinformatics research”. So, once again I borrowed Steve’s Mamiya 6 x…
Lelah’s in Town!
My dear friend Lelah visits far too infrequently. It’s been almost two years since we last saw her, so we had a lot to discuss last night. I can think of no better venue for good wine and fine conversation than my favorite – Soizic! (Am I too predictable?) It just so happens that Lelah…
First Batch + Birthday Bash
How exciting! We baked our first batch of cookies in our new convection oven. They turned out awesome! Naturally, I had to eat about 10 of Kelly’s delicious chocolate chip cookies just to be sure. Mmmmm yes – perfect! Later we strolled to the nearby Portico Lofts to help Tony and friends celebrate his birthday….
Daydreamin’ About SPAM
As August 12th approaches, I can’t help but think fondly of my lovely friend – SPAM. Why, you ask? Because August 12th and 13th are peak days for the Perseid Meteor Shower, of course! You see, where I come from, SPAM stands for Special People Admiring Meteors. Unfortunately, I’m gonna miss this year’s trip, but…
