if you’ve been reading and following along, you know i went to visit my sis-and-brother-in-law (stephen’s sister & her husband) in california the weekend before last.  we had a most amazing visit!! they live right in the heart of hollywood, so there was never a dull moment.  we ate great food, went to great places, and did some great shopping!! all with two of our most favorite people, ever, in the history of the world.

while i won’t post all the photos (waaay too many for that), i did want to share a few things…

stephanie and i did get to eat at the little next door i talked about before.  it was absolutely fantastic!! the food was delicious and you can’t ask for a more beautiful setting.

i love it when i find old stuff i’ve forgotten about…especially film. after the move, i went through all my old camera equipment and came across 4 or 5 rolls of film that were undeveloped. a couple of them were nothing spectacular, and one is still being processed (they said it will take about a week or so). but this one just made me smile. these shots were taken with my Canon AE1 - it was my dad’s and i still love using it. i think some of my best shots ever were taken with this camera.

these were taken with black and white fuji film and are about 2 years old - pretty sure around thanksgiving to christmas of 2005.
