IPA and Piaget

Santa Monica, California. No doubt this tall glass of IPA is all about the old Piagetian conservation idea that a given amount of liquid will remain constant no matter the shape of the container.

Corona Extra

Los Angeles, California. I know, real beer drinkers don’t drink Corona but to be honest, after drinking some of the motor oil-weight beer I drink at home in New England a Corona with a lime hits the spot. Add an enchilada or two and life is good.

Dinner table shots

This picture did not turn out quite the way I wanted. The woman sitting across from me at the restaurant had on a bright blouse and I thought the orange blur would look interesting behind the green wine bottle. Problem was that I lost track of focus and and with an apeture of 1.4 only [...]

I got to JFK early enough to grab a beer and start reading the manual on the 300D, AKA Digital Rebel. Quite a bit of beer later, I started playing with ISO which led to this beer shot, slightly out of focus as I was. In London now and on my way to Nice. Maybe [...]
