How Japanese Play Cooking

What you are about to see in this clip just about encompasses all that makes Japanese electronic demonstrations great:
1. Music that sounds like it belongs in a Wii video game
2. Silent-movie style slides between segments
3. Ridiculous gadgets no one really needs but people will want them anyway

Today's photo: Redwood sorrel with the Big Sur River in the background.  I always have a really hard time getting good pictures of redwood sorrel because it's so dark under the redwoods, but I think this picture turned out pretty cool.

Wedding Wednesday: Portraits

I'm running out of really exciting things to post about our own wedding, so soon I'm going to have to write posts about wedding inspiration I find around the web.  Today, I have some portraits taken of Graham and me throughout our wedding day.  So nothing too exciting to write about, but you can enjoy the pretty pictures taken by Allyson Magda.

Today's photo: Moss growing on a tree stump in Big Sur.  I really love moss.

Photo of the Day (7.25.11)

Today's photo: My feet on the "buggy bench" in the campground at Big Sur.  We've always called this the buggy bench, and it's been here since I was a little kid.  It's a big log with a quarter cut out in a way to sort of resemble a baby buggy.  There are even pictures of my brother and me sitting on it from various trips.

 I also just like taking pictures of my feet in all different places.

Photo of the Day (7.22.11)

Today's photo: A shot of the Big Sur River using the miniature mode on my camera, which is an effect that creates the look of a tilt-shift lens.  It's a pretty fun mode to play around with.  I want to take some pictures with lots of people or cars to really get a good miniature effect.

We're headed to some garage sales in the morning, so we're hoping for some good stuff.  Happy weekend!
