Another deal, another day. The Groupon deal is still kicking, although it’s in its last stages of life. I met Rosa and Shenay at the Japanese Tea Garden in SF. We got there early to avoid the crowds, and got away with it too, as the tourist were light in the morning. Thus, we had our choice of some nice angles with the bridge, trees, and all the other good things that come with a Japanese garden.
Shenay, whose name is Turkish, spent 2 years in Japan as a child, thus the fascination with all things Japanese. As I spent 2 years of my life (although I was an adult) I am still fascinated with all things Japanese. Whether it’s a bar that serves mayonnaise milk shakes (for real), real karaoke, or the indefinite response you’ll get to important life decisions, I will always heart Japan.
Here are a few from the day…
Through the maple, Shenay and Rosa.
On a bridge, with a bridge in the background. Now that's just crazy talk.
In the trees.
Wide apertures, shaded light, lots of green - doesn't get much better than that.
Black and White, from a distance.
Up close.
The morning light was pretty good... gotta admit.
Last giggle at the Tea Garden.
It was a pretty good beach day too.
Old school post process. I love the look of it. Timeless!
Good times!
That’s it for this edition. There’s a bunch more work to come, I just have to take a deep breath and get it up on the blog. Where does the time go?
See you down the road.
