Miss Olive

December 20, 2011

I’m finally getting a chance to post on the blog again. Hopefully, I’ll be able to post a few times a month or more. We’re finally getting into a groove with Olive, especially in the evenings and I’m not always completely exhausted when it’s her bedtime. That’s a huge milestone.

If you would like regular updates of Olive, follow her on planetolive.tumblr.com. Seth is really good about updating her blog a few times a week and his fantastic writing is not to be missed.

I’ve been shooting more film with Olive, funny, but when I was documenting Emma’s life, it was all on film until she turned 8 years old. That’s when I got my first digital camera. I’m glad I’m shooting film again, this time for my second daughter and my own enjoyment, of course.

Here are a few images of Olive when she was 8 weeks. All shot on the Nikon F100 with a 50mm f/1.4 lens.

Our lovely Linda from Melbourne. We heart her big time and always look forward to her visits. Hopefully, she can come out here to SF one day and call it home.

Four bridges

August 22, 2011

That’s how many bridges I drove across to go visit friends this past Saturday. 4. Wow. I think that’s a record for me.

Here are the bridges in order.

Bay Bridge

Carquinez Bridge

Richmond San Rafael

Golden Gate Bridge

The last bridge (Golden Gate) was crossed to get home, which still counts.

I think we need a FasTrak Pass.

The morning started out at Diyosa’s new house. I was there to visit and to demonstrate the proper usage of the Chemex. Diyosa called me the door to door Chemex sales person. Haha. Nope, I was just sharing my knowledge of how to correctly brew with the Chemex and she did admit the coffee tasted better then when she tried brewing it herself the first time. We had a great time noshing and just being us. Good times.

Then I was off to visit my friend Karen and her family in their new home. Which is lovely and charming. They treated me like a queen and fed me quite well. Thanks you guys! It was fun to just sit around and catch up, follow the Giants game a bit and take some photos right before the magic hour light.

Below are photos of the day. I only took one photo at Diyosa’s, not sure why I didn’t take more. Maybe cuz I was waiting for the coffee to kick in. The rest are from my visit with Karen.
