So.. the Meatball Shop. It was delicious. Back in march when I visited New York, Karen sent me this email that basically said that she and three of my girlfriends were all free one night and we were going to have a girls dinner.  I was excited.  I was a little perplexed because I didn’t know they all hung out together, but I thought, “Whatevs. It’s a meatball shop!”  We went to the one on Greenwich, and it was everything I hoped it to be.  A cute cozy interior with a menu full of options.

I could choose the type of meatball, how it was served and the type of sauce.  I forgot what I ordered, but it was delicious.  You could also order floats and an ice cream sandwich which also had options (yay) to choose the ice cream and the cookie.  I thoroughly enjoyed my meatball feast of sliders.

At the end, to my surprise…. the waitress started singing “Happy Birthday”, and I was like… “Who’s that for??” When they came towards me I was so HURRAY!  It was very exciting.  I really love surprises.  This was a delightful one.  I really enjoy the company of these four ladies, and I’m glad I could spend my birthday with them.

YAY!!





Yesterday I woke up feeling a little like death, but I had to pick my charger up at the San Francisco Zoo when I shot a wedding there the previous week.   Originally I planned to pick up my charger and spend the day watching animals and brunching at Java Beach cafe.  Instead, in a zombie-like trance I picked up my charger and went to the bank then went straight home.  Along the way I discovered I lost my voice which I learned is really frustrating when it seems the bank teller is so far away.  I must have repeated my account number two or three times before I resorted to writing it down for the poor guy.  Needless to say it was an experience.

I felt very strange being unable to raise my voice.  So I got to wondering what’d it be like to be mute.  I’m not sure how much my life would change.  I think I could live with never talking again… and just listening and texting.  I admit it would be difficult to be a wedding or portrait photographer.  I guess I could switch to photojournalist.  I’d like that.

Anyway, here are more pictures with my iPhone using the VSCO camera.  Truthfully I think it’s a great camera and app, but I don’t like making it a habit of using my phone to take pictures.  I still like my big camera best.  Next time I visit the zoo, he will be my buddy.

 

After leaving my trusty Samsung phone on BART, I joined the club and bought an iphone. Now that I have one I can finally play scramble with friends and experiment with the brand new VSCO camera. Hurray. I’ve enjoyed it so far.  The iphone 4gs has great quality pictures.  I’m quite impressed. Although I don’t think I’ll use the filters too much, I like the adjustments included in the VSCO camera.

With that said, I rode out to the end of the Pittsburg/BayPoint train to have a great time with Jenny and her kids.  While her two kids ran around and enjoyed the day, Jenny and I, sure enough, followed them around with our cameras.  I was so happy to finally wear my red shorts again and get a proper tan.  The little ones, with some help from Jenny and me, picked 8.5 lbs of deliciously red strawberries.  They did a great job!

After that we had a picnic lunch and were greeted by some very hungry ducks.  hurray!
