is she doing... the ROBOT?

why hello - YOU are looking quite dapper today.

please disregard my torn pantalones, smeared eye liner, and hair that resembles that of a next belonging to a bachelor bird. I have been too busy for all of 2010 to pay attention to such things. if only we unfairly judged one another by our preferred songs instead of our appearance... I don't know about you but my playlist says way more about me than my closet (or, it at least says BETTER things).

but I digress.

I had a gig months ago that I never shared - I assumed everyone was solely interested in babies, families,engagements, and weddings. but I do more than that.

the work I did 2 summers ago for Piacere in San Carlos spread word to Newpark Mall in Newark. while it may not be as an elaborate story or layout as Piacere, Mediterranean Gyro and Kabob Wraps needs photos too! so I made a trip out there, withstood the heat from the kitchen, worked through a very minor language barrier, took 4 bags of food home upon the owner's demand, raced through the post processing in order to complete the photos for them within their schedule and BAM... I give you Mediterranean Gyro and Kabob Wraps.

that's how we DO.

...3 shoots in 2 days? planned it. did it. survived.

...sometimes it's good to drink freely and dance unabashedly - even if it's at a friend's wedding that you've been hired to photograph.

...sometimes it's never good to be hungover the next day - especially if you have two photo shoots to run.

Piacere = at pleasure

eating fancy food is one of my most favorite things to do. so when I decided to visit a restaurant client last week I was elated with the dinner options. everything was... fancy pants. both my husbands' gnocchi and my chicken were amazing and the chef paid me a visit with some dessert in hand. everything was uber yummy and I highly recommend you visit the restaurant when in the mood for some fancy food.
pen in hand?... Piacere in downtown San Carlos. there is a farmers market every Thursday and the chef will cook you dinner with your market findings! cute place with a lively bar scene accompanied by a quaint and quieter dining area. you will be pleased.

tomorrow morning I am headed off to San Francisco for another wedding... this time at City Hall. usually there is a struggle with time - there isn't enough of it! but I believe we will have the opposite issue tomorrow. there seems to be quite a number of hours allocated to taking pictures and changing locations - which is awesome! but it will turn in to a long tiresome day very quickly.
note to self: stock up on Lara Bars. it's the new miracle food.

...CNN reported today how odd it is that people are just standing around watching Ted Kennedy's car drive alone down the highway.
