I didn’t have a chance to do a “TBT” this week, so how about a Sentimental Sunday? Here’s an easy recap/flashback to some of the best parts of my trip to Oahu in 2012! Tonkatsu Ginza Bairin – this place is worth mentioning on it’s own… because it is THAT good. Best Tonkatsu I’ve had! Hanuma…

Morimoto – Napa
I’ve wanted to try Morimoto Restaurant in Napa for quite some time (a few years) and finally got to go for two friends’ celebrations! Toro Tartare – accompanied by wasabi, nori paste and sour cream as well as a shoyu dipping sauce. The presentation was interesting and we ate it with a flat…
Yosemite Photography Practice
Instead of basically rewriting Betty’s post on Yosemite, I’ll point out a few tips and tricks on how I get the most out of your SLR or even regular P&S camera. Furthermore, I’ll go through a few examples of how I got certain effects or framing of shots. Hopefully this will be informative or…
Sony a99 Full-Frame DSLR Initial Impressions
After 7 years, I had finally decided to upgrade my Nikon D700 to something more modern. First, I considered just upgrading to the D800, but the price differential between the D700 and D800 was big enough for me to consider switching brands and consolidating lenses. With all the options in the market at this time,…
Thoughts From Inside a Start-Up
The chart above is really a testament and main driver for why I work at a start-up. In my case, I’ve been at start-ups that weren’t the 2-3 people in garages, but ones that have started to take shape and are growing. People choose to go to a start-up vs a large company for…
Random Friday
It’s a bit early for Throwback Thursday #tbt, so I decided to do a random Wednesday to throw down a few thoughts that have been running through my head this week. It’s been a busy, fun, stressful and exciting year so far. We’ll start with the exciting… An addition to the family. While the name…
Happy Bday Bleu – New Dog Ownership
That was the very first moment that I met Bleu. Adorable? Check. Had to have her? Check. Ready for her? Absolutely not! That didn’t mean that Betty and I (mostly me) were ready to embark on having a dog as part of our family. Raising a puppy wasn’t easy. Could we have been…
Chicago 2012 – Throwback Thursday
Betty and I visited Chicago in October 2012… and it was a blast! Since it’s #TBT, I decided to do a post in reminiscence of one of my favorite trips… to Gotham City. I have to start off by saying that late September through October is probably the best time to visit (especially for…
Mount Tam & Muir Woods Hike
Some of you may have seen Betty’s post on her Muir Woods Adventure, but I wanted to share my take on it and the photography challenge I took on. I set out with my Nikon D700 and 85mm f/1.8 to this hike to limit my zoom and focus on smaller details on the hike….
Welcoming 2014
Many of us set goals for each new year – some succeed, others do not. Here’s my attempt to start a blog that will share aspects of my personal life, professional life and give you my perspective on everything that’s going on in my life. I’ve found that I’ve tried to start a journal…
