Deadbeat and I have been having computer problems

I had a blast taking photos with my friend and very talented musician Safety Scissors. We had six costume changes, a few dranks, and a whole barrel of laughs.

He has a new record coming out on Bpitch Control called In A Manner Of Sleeping. You can preview it here on www.xlr8r.com

I am not much of a beer drinker, but this place blew me away. We tried the tasting and they were all really delicious. Even the wine was good too. Too bad you can only drink these micobrews in Santa Rosa, CA.

love these funny coasters!

everything tasted so good, so we joined their wine club…

their healthy mossy reservoir reminded me of Claude Monet

I have been practicing Chinese cuisine with the help of my new cookbook “Every Grain of Rice: Simple Chinese Home Cooking” by Fuchsia Dunlop. So far every recipe has been quite easy to manage and the results have been great.

I found a lovely little boutique that made custom shoes in Udaipur, India. I bought two pairs! Here are photos of the shopkeeper and his beautiful Indian princess slippers.

After the three day Indian wedding (which was absolutely spectacular) we decided to spend our time relaxing by Hotel Lake Pichola’s rooftop pool.  As much as I like to go sightseeing, I decided to take the day off and hang out with the remaining wedding guests.  Photographing a wedding is quite intense, so it felt really nice to rest my feet and soak in some sun.  This city best viewed from above.

Heading off to Vrindavan via overnight train now!

I have always wanted to visit India forever and this year I was finally given the opportunity!  My friends hired me to photograph their wedding in Udaipur.  Before the wedding I will be in Goa with my girlfriend Jes. We are both super excited for a week of sun, beach, yoga, food, and culture!

My adventure began on Air India, which is one of the best airlines I have ever been on.  They served me several delicious vegetarian meals even though I didn’t reserve one.  I entertained myself by catching up on contemporary Bollywood romantic comedies and slept so much I didn’t have jet lag when I arrived in Goa almost a day later!

I really love Valentine’s Day, as a total romantic I can’t help myself. Today while searching for proper vintage Valentines I found these dreadful gems!

I love these imaginary cityscapes of New York showing what it would look like without light pollution. See more in this pretty NY Times gallery.
