Black and White

“Black and White” Cedar Park, 2022

A few times a year I think that I should try to shoot a whole month in black and white. But I’ve never been successful at it. Will this be the year? I doubt it. But stranger things have happened. 😆

But seriously, it would be fun and interesting to study and practice black and white photography, wouldn’t it?

Homemade Hot Sauce

“Scotch Bonnet Hot Sauce” Torrance, 2022

My cousin sent over his hot sauce recipe and my mom used her Scotch Bonnet harvest to make a few bottles of fire. Super tasty and a good amount of heat.

I was bummed that we couldn’t take a bottle home with us (we only had carry-ons for our plane trip) but I’m looking forward to using the recipe to make my own batch! 🌶

UNIQLO Visit

“Shopping” Costa Mesa, 2022

It’s a short weekend trip to SoCal, but with no plans besides taking Koa to his auditions, I had time to head to my favorite store, UNIQLO. This particular location in South Coast Plaza is one I haven’t been to before, so I was excited to visit it. And I was able to convince my brother and sister-in-law to join me. Bonus! 😀

I ended up getting three v-neck t-shirts which will replace some old v-necks that are showing their age. What’s nice about the UNIQLO t-shirts is that they are a thinner fabric than my Old Navy shirts, so I’ll have more space in the shirt drawer. In fact, I am replacing six t-shirts with the three UNIQLO shirts. It feels good to upgrade and declutter at the same time!

Giants Airplane

“Giants Plane” Austin, 2022

The airplane we are flying on is sporting a San Francisco Giants logo, which is weird since we are traveling from Austin to Los Angeles. I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re refused landing by the control tower at LAX!

Just kidding! (Go Dodgers!)
