My mom is quite jaded when it comes to romantic love. The only piece of advice she gives me is that I should find someone who loves me more than I love them as if love is a power struggle based on affection.
However, my mom taught me the value of friendship through her own friendships. My mom is amazing at making and keeping good friends. Whenever she goes, she seems to be able to make friends easily. At the supermarket, she shares recipes with the woman next to her while choosing the freshest fish. While waiting at the doctor's office, she shares home remedies to cure any known ailments. When she meets my friends' Vietnamese-speaking parents, they bond over the troubles their children gives them. She has her work friends, her gym friends, her park friends, her church friends, her temple friends (we're like a Buddhist-Catholic cultural fusion family; hence both church and temple friends), the friends she met while immigrating to the US, amongst her millions of other friends. My sister and brother have inherited the ability to connect easily with people, but I need a bit more time to warm up.
Not only does she make friends easily, but she also takes care of her friendships. Some of her friends do not drive, but my mom never hesitates to offer them a ride to the grocery store, the temple, or the fish market. Or when my mom sees a sale on fruits one of her friends loves, she would buy it for her friend. Not to mention all of the times my mom hosts home-cooked meals and barbecues for her friends. (She also never hesitates to offer the babysitting services of my sister and me while they go frolic somewhere.)
She has an amazing relationship with her friends. With one set of friends, they have cheesy nicknames for each other based on titles used in Ancient Vietnam. They have also been on a spontaneous, crazy trip to Mexico in the pre-kids period. My mom claims that she told me everything that has happened there, but I don't believe her. Whenever they mention Mexico, there seems to be both tons of laughter yet a mysterious hush hush when us kids are close enough to eavesdrop. When our family was having trouble, her best friend (and my second mom) took us in (a family of four!) and helped us back to our feet.
And what's more miraculous is that she manages to keep in touch with them all, at least with her closer ones. A friend my mom immigrated to the US with and her former roommate (now living in New Mexico) still talks monthly about potential arranged marriages between their children (my mom has now rejected the offers since hearing her son is short). My second mom and my mom always talks about their kids, their jobs, family gossip, and future trips to see each other (my mom's BFF moved to Arizona…a few years after my family moved back to California from Arizona). And when she heard that one of her friends had a health problem, my mom put away their differences from a fight to visit her.
Recently, my mom seriously injured her shoulder, something that has been building up for years from all of her sweatshop working days and her manicurist/masseuse job. (Please send her good vibes.) The doctor has ordered her to stay home and refrain from work/lifting heavy things/driving/etc. Although she is in a lot of pain, I noticed that many of her friends have came to help her out. Some drive her to the doctor or to the market. Some cook soups and veggies for her. Some brought food for her. All day long she receives phone calls from friends asking about her progress. These events inspired this post.
As I meet new friends and say goodbye (for now) to old friends, I worry about whether our friendship will last. True, there are friends that you can just reunite with after a long time with no awkwardness at all. But, there are also many other friends who disappear and just become people you wonder about time to time. Or it seems like romantic relationships and children widen the distance between friends. Hopefully, I learn from my mom's example and make new friends and keep old ones irregardless of what life throws at us. I hope my friends know that they can always rely on me, and I hope that I'm perceptive of their feelings and needs in our friendship. And I hope in tough times, I can also call on them.
Although my mom did not teach me about romantic love, she taught me the value of friendship, which to me, is equally important. (This is one of the reasons why I hate most portrayal of friendships in the media. Other than male-male friendships, most portrayals seem terrible. It seems like all male-female friendships have to turn into romance. And all female-female friendships revolve around and end because of beauty, boys, and children. These friendships are more dynamic than that!) So if you think I'm a good friend, you gotta thank my mom.
What did the people who raised you teach you about friendship? How did you learn how to be a friend?

THE HAGUE, Netherlands
The Dutch Competition Authority says it has fined publisher Koninklijke Wegener N.V. euro19 million ($23.88 million) for flouting instructions aimed at guaranteeing the independence of two newspapers after a takeover.
The competition watchdog says it allowed Wegener to buy rival publisher VNU Dagbladen in 2000, if it kept one of VNU's newspapers, BN/De Stem, separate from another paper Wegener already owned, the Provinciale Zeeuwse Courant.
The move was intended to preserve competition in the southern Dutch region of Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, where both papers have editions.
The authority said Wednesday that Wegener instead "harmonized" the papers' editorial departments.
Wegener has called the fine an attack on press freedom and says it will appeal.

Logo a GoGo
Thursday sees the launch of MTV's gay-themed cable channel Logo. A couple program clips are available on the website. Prediction: the network's break-out character will be 'Chance', the married Ivy Leaguer on the down-low in 'Noah's Arc', a dramedy about gay African-American men in Venice, who, in the trailer, keeps repeating "I'm married." Hooray for subtext! On the other hand, 'Surfer Girls,' about lesbian surfers, looks a little too earnest to connect with a non-surfing audience.
It's also not at all clear from the website who, if anyone, will actually be able to watch Logo on Thursday. There's a link to an ask-your-carrier-to-add-Logo email form, but that's it.
In other news, in light of yesterday's Supreme Court decision, the same-sex file-sharing network 'Gaytella' has been taken off-line.

Should we add Corton to our foodie trip to NY?
- o
- oliviervandenbroeck Nov 24, 2012 06:55 AM
We are two young foodies from Belgium and we'll be in New York next month. We know the city quite well - it's our third visit - and have been lucky enough to visit fantastic places in NY, such as Eleven Madison Park, Jean Georges, Perry St., Gotham Bar & Grill, Momofuku Ssam Bar and - maybe a little disappointing - Daniel, which be found a little stiff and not extremely exciting.
This time we'll be staying at our family in Brooklyn, so this means we can stay a little longer and visit restaurants we really dream of.
We made plans to eat at very different restaurants, but we are still looking for one great spot. These are our plans so far:
ABC Kitchen
Le Bernardin (lunch)
Pok Pok
The Nomad
Mission Chinese Food
Bouley (lunch)
We can have a reservation at Atera, but it seems quite similar to Noma, which we've experienced, so we'd like something else. Something young, flavorful and very 'new york'. Just as we've loved EMP, but their menus became so expensive... Would Corton be a good choice?
Corton looks really exciting, but people seem to have very mixed feelings about Corton. So... what should we do? We've also been looking at Blue Hill, Gramercy Tavern, Minetta Tavern & Annisa,.
Thanks so much!
Absolutely, yes, yes, yes. It has 2 Michelin stars for a reason, as much that guidebook is loved and hated.
However, that would technically give you a third heavily French-influenced restaurant, so that's something to weigh. But definitely add some kind of fine dining to your trip, if you are into that kind of experience. Bouley and Le Bernardin are "old-guard" (but I don't mean that as an insult, it just means there's a kind of maturity and established style that comes with it), so if you want greater coverage there's no harm in forgoing one of these two.
One thing--I'd consider switching Minetta Tavern into either ABC Kitchen or The NoMad; that will further increase your cuisine diversity.
Are you interested in Japanese cuisine? NYC has seriously tons of offerings, and sub-genres of Japanese, at all price ranges.
re: calf
Thanks for your thoughts. We were aiming for some sort of mix of New York classics (indeed like Bouley, Le Bernardin) and more modern places, that's why I was interested in a modern fine dining place such as Corton. It doesn't look very French to me though? But I'm always having trouble with the term 'French cuisine': I wouldn't consider EMP or Jean Georges truly French restaurants for example.
Are you saying that there is any resemblance between the ABC Kitchen & The Nomad ? The Nomad sounded like a great, more casual alternative for the EMP-style. And ABC looked just very pure & natural.
I might be interested in Japanese cuisine - we were looking for a lunch as Sushi Yasuda. But I've never been really impressed with sushi so far, so I wasn't really sure about it.
Thanks for Minetta Tavern-advice btw! :) We will make sure to follow it!
re: oliviervandenbroeck
What do you mean by "truly French"? Jean Georges is French fusion, which is a type of French cuisine, and of course Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten is French (from Alsace). Do you mean it's not classic French?
re: Pan
I mean that - as you rightly pointed out as well - "French cuisine" is a very general description. So the days that French cuisine meant "a dinner like every high end restaurant in Paris is serving" are luckily over. French cuisine doesn't equal heavy sauces, lot's of cream, the obligatory slice of foie gras etc anymore. When I look at menus from let's say the 80's it seems to me like every fine dining place was serving the same menu. That's no longer the case and when a restaurant is described as French I often have no clue whatsoever what kind of style to expect.
Maybe just Daniel is still doing it the old, classical way. And that's why I thought it was, though terrifically executed, of little interest.
re: Sneakeater
I've found it depends which of the cooks you happen to be in front of. I've had a couple of pretty friendly ones (as long as they're not in the middle of something) - seems to vary.
Minetta Tavern screams NY to me and I assume you'll be ordering the steak for two, which is another very American menu item.
You could squeeze in a weekday prix fixe lunch at 15 East or Yasuda I think, without breaking the bank.
Also, consider the New York inspired tasting menu at Torrisi Italian Specialties. Or adding a very NY place like Babbo. They serve dinner every day but also lunch Tuesdays through Saturday.
re: kathryn
Thanks Kathryn. I think we will squeeze in a lunch at Yasuda and an evening stop at Minetta Tavern.
Do you have any experience with Corton?
re: oliviervandenbroeck
Unfortunately I don't. But I'd keep in mind the possibility of tasting menu fatigue!
re: kathryn
:-) Do you have any good New American alternatives, aside from EMP (that I love, but find to expensive) and Momofuku Ko (that sounds great, but very unfriendly) ?
re: oliviervandenbroeck
I did not find Ko to be unfriendly at all.
re: rose water
Thanks; one reads so many opinions, and often they are just silly.
Big difference between lunch & dinner?
re: oliviervandenbroeck
Ko provides the fuller experience at lunch (maybe 5-6 more courses). Bottom line: if you can fit it in favorably to your itinerary (and get the res), go for lunch.
However, I think that it should be said, from my experience, (and agreed upon by most) that while the staff at Ko is not entirely unfriendly, they are quite far from the friendly standards that would be considered appropriate at most Michelin starred restaurants. For instance, although the cooks were happily willing to talk about the food and answer any questions about it without too much fuss, one could feel that there was little talk desired beyond that. Also, due to the no-photo policy the front of the house was constantly patrolling different angles of the diners like hawks. Of course, I should note that this is coming from the experience of a note-taker--I suppose I'm just more suspect because of that. Feeling leaning glances out of the corner of your eye can be very off-putting, but if you're, say, used to having a body guard, perhaps you won't mind.
Some people would convince you to avoid Ko because of service / stiff environment; I most certainly would not. However, you should most certainly not expect a Michelin-starred level (or standard level) of refinement or amiability from the staff.
re: oliviervandenbroeck
From their site:
dinner is a set tasting menu devised by the chef and his aides de camp, and it is usually about 10 courses long; at lunch the menu stretches out to 16 courses.
Also keep in mind how much more you'll be imbibing if you do pairings.
The chefs aren't unfriendly, maybe just a little brusque seeming. They are usually busy in the kitchen anyway, so long conversations aren't really what I aim for when I'm there.
I haven't been to Noma, but I often question why some will say that "X might be too similar to Y" - at that level , every chef has (one hopes) their own personal voice, their own flavor profile, etc. While they might use many of the same modernist techniques, and even have somewhat similar styles, that's akin to saying why bother seeing the Cy Twombly or Franz Kline paintings at MoMA when you've already seen the Pollocks? Or why buy a Miles Davis album when you've already got one by Coltrane?
In the end it's about the flavors, the textures, etc, and each chef is going to do their own thing. Unless Atera is importing all Scandinavian produce (and heck, even if they are) they're still going to be quite different, and provide very different experiences.
Can you never dine at a modernist restaurant with a tasting menu again because you've been to Noma once? I would hope to experience the artistry of a number of different chefs in my lifetime, personally. Just because I've been to WD-50 it didn't stop me from going to Momofuku Ko or EMP or wherever. I've had omakases and/or kaisekis at Morimoto, Nobu, Kyo Ya, etc. Some might have been better than others, but none tainted or impeded on the enjoyment of another. Each was good for what it was. (Well, actually, I didn't care for all the selections on the Morimoto omakase - they're better a la carte - but whatever, you get my point...)
But anyway, if you're looking for another fine dining option... calf made a good point in that you've got a couple of French places already on your list. And while I wouldn't classify Corton as -strictly- French, they do have a foot in that door. Babbo is a gem, and one of NYC's greats - I prefer them for dinner to the more limited lunch menu, personally, but rezzies can be hard to come by. For Japanese, which would provide a stark contrast to your other choices, the kaiseki menu (must be ordered when you reserve) at the aforementioned Kyo Ya is legendary among NYC foodies for good reason, and unless you travel to Japan regularly likely very different than anything you've had - though there is a decent Japanese population in Brussels, I don't think there's anything in Belgium quite on that level, or even aiming for it.
Actually, seeing as you live - what, at most a few hours' drive to Paris? - I'd be a bit curious as to why have any French restaurants on your itinerary at all. Granted, that goes against my intial point regarding Noma to some degree - but Noma is just one restaurant. You're probably inundated with French food on a regular basis - it's kind of like, I probably wouldn't go to a "New American" resto were I visiting Antwerp. If one even existed there.
re: sgordon
re: oliviervandenbroeck
Suppose that's understandable. Althought these days it seems that "finding chefs who staged at Noma" is nearly as common in NYC as "finding chefs who worked for Tom Collichio at some point."
In which case, of the three you listed, Corton would be at the bottom of my list - not that they're bad, just that EMP and Momo Ko (I assume you're talking about Ko) are much more exciting.
You could also try for Blanca, the "new tasting menu kid in town" - the offshoot of Roberta's. Though I guess rezzies are very tough there. And of course Brooklyn Fare, though the $$ there might be a little too high.
Another places to consider - not for a super-fancy meal but perhaps in lieu of Blue Hill, Gramercy, etc (which are fine restaurants, mind you) maybe give ACME a whirl - yes, it's in fact the original co-chef from Noma, but doing something completely and utterly different. In fact, he left because he and Redzepi were on such completely different pages it never would have worked out. They're very much a New American place, if he retains little touches of his New Nordic palate - he's quite fond of char/smoke, more likely to use a vinaigrette to dress a dish than a butter sauce, etc, but beyond that nothing similar. Much more hearty/rootsy food, and a younger/hipper ambience for sure than any of the others.
Marc Forgione might be another one to look into - again, hearty / rustic at heart, but with a playful twist (more playful than ACME, I'd say) - he does a tasting menu of his greatest hits for a pretty reasonable price as well. Fun place.
re: sgordon
Know the chef of ACME; he had MR in Copenhagen, right?
Marc Forgione seems like a good idea for American restaurant. So does Momofuku Ko of course, but I keep reading that it's quite hostile against clients, and call me traditional, but I like a friendly staff. True of myth?
Blanca & Brooklyn Fare are quite expensive indeed: I prefer exploring some different restaurants this time than one big splash, like we did last time at Daniel.
re: oliviervandenbroeck
Momofuku Ko's staff is perfectly friendly. I have never had any issues with customer service there. I think it's definitely worth looking into, the food there is quite exiting and innovative.
re: oliviervandenbroeck
Yeah, it's Mads Refslund from MR. Though it's very different from what he did there from what I gather - much more casual, and with a NewAm local/seasonal focus.
As I said in the other part of the thread above, I've had varied experiences with staff at Momo. They've never been mean, but sometimes just not terribly talkative - which is fine, I'm there to talk with my dining companions, anyway. The sommelier has always been very nice, though.
That said, as I pointed out to someone else on another thread - have a Plan B. You won't know until a week before if you'll get the Momo rez, and by then most other places would be booked already.
I like Forgione quite a lot - and his signature dishes (BBQ oysters, chili lobster, halibut "proposal") are all world-class, and I think all on the tasting menu (some selections rotate) - IIRC, the tasting is $99 for six or so courses (plus a few amuses, etc.)
re: sgordon
I've been watching the reservations page for Momofuku Ko the last days - to figure out how (im)possible it was to score two seats. But it doesn't seem so hard at all?
re: sgordon
I agree completely with what you are saying, it's just that Noma has a very particular style and that it's a restaurant with a very strong 'personality' that influences its pupils - such as matt lightner - very profoundly. In what I see, Atera's way of cooking, presenting, serving. is very similar to René Redzepi's. Which means that it will undoubtedly be interesting, but I'd prefer to experience some other modernist cooking when I'm in NY, such as EMP or Momofuku or Corton. Noma's cuisine is so peculiar, that if you're not doing it all perfectly, you might just be stuck with 'an intersting meal', and that's why I wanted to skip Atera.
As I said to Calf, I often disagree with the term 'French cuisine'. Daniel: that's French cuisine to me, and I'm a little sorry we've spent an evening there last time. But for exemple Le Bernardin seems much more 'seafood' and 'strongly Asian influenced' to be considered just classical French.
Parisian restaurant landscape, which we know quite well, has very much changed over the last years. Of course there are still classical French monuments, such as Taillevent, Le Meurice of Bristol. Restaurants that I often consider way too expensive and very little dynamic.
But the restaurants we like to visit in Paris (Chateaubriand, Agapé Substance, Rino, Astrance, Le Dauphin...) have a very different, natural, pure style. A style that's a real contrast to classical French cooking. And a style that I don't see very often in NY otherwise. So I have no problem with visiting a French trained restaurant in NY; it will be very different than the ones we know in Europe.
Corton is excellent; I had an excellent dinner there in August, and their current menu looks great too. I've had two recent meals at Atera (loved the first more than the second). I'll probably return in the spring. Bouley and Momofuku Ko are two of my most favorite restaurants anywhere; heading back to Ko for dinner in a few days. The NoMad is excellent too; I adore their roast chicken for two. You should also consider Jungsik; terrific food and excellent service. I'm not a fan of Daniel either.
re: ellenost
We'll consider Momofuku, and we look really forward now to our meals at The Nomad and at Bouley. Thanks :)
Back to your original question of Corton - I would say it is a good choice of young and flavorful, though not necessarily 'New York'. You say you have extensive experience with Parisian dining--have you enjoyed your experiences at Gagnaire?
IMO, Gramercy Tavern is a fine ambassador of the NY high-end dining scene.
Blue Hill is a great New York establishment but I doubt it will do much for your palate, which is probably spoiled with much better produce from your neck of the woods.
Though I have yet to visit, I would highly recommend Blanca.
For another kitchen counter experience, The Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare makes a very serious case for the most convincing food in all of New York. This is sad, because I have very little inclination to go through the hassle of returning. I would sooner return to Ko, as the drop-off in hospitality is less severe. Interestingly enough, I would say that the food at Brooklyn Fare is executed at a higher level, but the food at Ko is over all more 'different' (in that I encounter Brooklyn Fare-type influences in many other restaurants/chefs, though not so much with Ko.)
re: ramenbound
I've never been to Pierre Gagnaire's so far, so I'm afraid I can't compare. I've been avoiding the Parisian three starred Michelin restaurants: they too ofter disappoint. This being said; I think Pierre Gagnaire is a whole different story and I would love to visit.
Thanks for the other suggestions and remarks!
Atera is stylistically much closer to Mugaritz than it is to Noma.
I'd rather eat at Corton than Atera, but having been to Noma isn't the argument for skipping Atera.
N-thing Minetta Tavern.
re: jpdoctor
Interesting remark, thanks. It's just that it seems like every modern chef in Europe is serving snacks on a rock, pickled eggs, edible branches, food served on hay, and they all seem to replace espresso by old school filter coffee. That's why Atera struck me like one of these restaurants. Which is not bad of course, but I'd like to experience something completely differnt.
What do you mean "N-thing"?
re: oliviervandenbroeck
Hah ha - that is certainly true in general. I think if you looked at pics from Atera, Mugaritz, and Noma you would see what I'm talking about.
"n-thing" n= indeterminate ordinal number (seconding, thirding). Its shorthand for agreeing with the other folks above me suggesting you add Minetta.
re: jpdoctor
Perhaps 'Nth-ing' is more like it?
I'd like to offer a dissenting opinion and say that I would not switch in Minetta for ABC or The NoMad. Roberta's, maybe. Admittedly I'm as minority as a liberal in the south or a right-wing in DC here. However, if you're going to do Minetta as a late night squeeze in without sacrificing other restaurants, that's perfect. Also, Olivier - 1.) what experience do you have with NY pizza and 2.) how much of a Roberta's visit were you planning to devote to pizza?
I suppose it's probably too late to bank on reservations at this point, but did you ever have any interest in considering Per Se for your itinerary? Mainly curious if you have any particular opinions/inclinations stemming from research and/or your Euro-centric high end experiences (eg, Atera being too similar to trends happening over there)
re: ramenbound
I find the general love for ABC Kitchen to be one of the more mystifying things in the NYC food scene. Don't get it at all.
re: jpdoctor
Whats not to get? It's JG's take on hipster farm to table dining.
1. Peeky toe crab dish (JG)
2. Kale salad of sort
3. Hire hipster staff more inept than any restaurant of its genre
4. Claim eco consciousness yet serve espresso in disposable paper cups
5. Some sort of Yuzu cocktail(JG)
6. Some kind of fried calamari (JG)
re: ramenbound
I think we can squeeze in Minetta without cutting Nomad or ABC.
I don't really know what to expect from Roberta's: friends of us were really into it, but I can't imagine that their entire visit was based on pizza. So I think we'll go anywhere else if one night we're looking for pizza.
Per Se is probably one of the restaurants I would love to visit the most in the world, but as it is extremely expensive compared to others, we passed this time. It looks extraordinary though and like someone who has a very personal style and attention to pure products. But at the same time a menu at Per Se buys you two fine dining evenings in other high end places. And that would be a lot of pressure of Per Se, wouldn't it? :)
Sad thing about these very expensive restaurants, is that in the best case scenario, they often just "live up to the expectations set by the price".
re: ramenbound
I'll let you know what we thought of ABC. I've had several great encounters (high end & casual) with Jean Georges' cuisine, so I'd like to give ABC a shot.
re: oliviervandenbroeck
I'd do ABC for a lunch, perhaps?
I'm in the minority regarding Roberta's, thought the pizzas were pretty good, the non-pizza composed dishes only so so.
re: kathryn
I agree Kathryn. Pizzas are ok, non-pizza dishes less than good. I've been for lunch a several times recently and tried most their menu items, none of which were memorable and all were pricey (compared to one year ago) for the quality/size. Not going back.
re: jewelin
I'll keep the pizza-idea in mind for Roberta's!
re: oliviervandenbroeck
Roberts's pizza is far from Brooklyn's best.
re: oliviervandenbroeck
Just to adjust your expectations accordingly, the cuisine at ABC is not of the Michelin star variety. It's well-done upscale casual food with eclectic influence and the Jean-Georges touch. Best approached if you have other people with you to sample more of the menu. I figured that since you've enjoyed JG and Perry St in the past, ABC was worth the extra endorsement for you.
re: ramenbound
I wasn't necessarily expecting Michelin-starred-cuisine at ABC. Just plain good food will do :) It's not that we're only looking for Michelin-quality or style; that would become very annoying after a while, I guess.
I just think JG's style suits us really well, even his not so upscale projects.
I went to Corton almost one year ago. As exciting and delicious as the food was, the service completely fell apart. My husband and I, as well as 2 or 3 other tables, sat without food or explanation for close to 60 minutes, in the middle of the tasting menu. It, and the remaining (lack of) service, ruined the experience.
For what it is worth, I also was not happy with Daniel's service. It was totally unprofessional. Just a few examples include the following: saying "I don't know" to a basic question about the food or wine, giving me a obviously bogus answer to another question, pouring a second (different) glass of wine into an unfinished glass during a tasting menu with pairings, and allowing a nearby table to take literally nonstop photographs with flash - not only of food, but of an obnoxious couple posing at each bite.
Places I am considering for my next trip, that I offer as alternatives: Aldea, Tocqueville, Modern
If you're looking for something Corton-like and are staying in Brooklyn, I would suggest trying Gwynett St. and opting for their chef's tasting menu. Much has been written about Gwynett St., both here and elsewhere, so I'll not go into detail, but suggest you search the Brooklyn board for more opinions (including one of my own, from a recent visit).
re: famdoc
We've been looking into Gwynett St. for a while. Looks really interesting and way the food is presented looks a lot like the Parisian hipster restaurants.
re: oliviervandenbroeck
Gwynnett Is excellent -- cocktails are well mixed and the food is modern and tasty, plus the service is responsive.
re: foodwhisperer
I've always enjoyed Corton. It is an adult space with low noise, unhurried service and excellent food, which I would describe as "composed," as in a symphony. Having recently been introduced to Gwynett St., I suggested to the original post-er that he consider it instead of Corton: it's fresh and relatively new, similar in its approach to food to Corton...and considerably cheaper. Plus, he's staying in Brooklyn. Roberta's shouldn't be his only Brooklyn experience.
re: famdoc
I will put Gwynett St on my list of places to try. My last experience at Corton was not a good one. Brooklyn Fare would be a good Bklyn experience but at a high price.
re: foodwhisperer
Yes, Brooklyn Fare would be a memorable experience, but a very, very difficult reservation to score.
re: famdoc
We'll pass on Brooklyn Fare. Even though it will undoubtedly be very interesting and good I think his prices are outrageously high (50% more than Atera! Almost doubles dinner at Momofuku! Same price as Per Se!), so I think this would set out expectations too high. I'm not very demanding if it comes to service, pampering or luxury - on the contrary even - but if I'm paying 300$ a person, I don't expect something like Brooklyn Fare. As someone who hasn't visited, it seems to me like they're taking themselves very seriously (booking the menu on your credit card BEFORE you come?), and I like a certain amount of fun / relaxed atmosphere.
re: oliviervandenbroeck
If you purchased every bit of food you are served at Brooklyn Fare yourself, you would spend far more than $225....and you could never prepare it like Cesar Ramirez. Yes, they take themselves very serious. But, my meals there have been among the most memorable in recent years.
re: famdoc
Yeah, I'm sure you're absolutely right. And I definitely not question their price setting. It's just that we had decided to do a couple of more restaurants instead of one that stands out in terms of price. So we'd have the opportunity to check out a whole variety of chefs and their restaurants. But I'm sure our approach will mean that we'll have our personal favorites and well... maybe some disappointments.
re: famdoc
I know it's not very upscale or serious, but I've heard great things of Pok Pok. Isn't that in Brooklyn either?
re: oliviervandenbroeck
This is the Manhattan board. But do a search on the Outer Boroughs board. Pok Pok has very mixed reviews there.
Olivier: I've made a suggestion, below, of an alternative to Corton. It occurs to me you shouldn't limit yourself to haute gastronomie. Since you're staying in Brooklyn, why not grab a wonderful pizza at Paulie Gee's place in Greenpoint. I assure you it will be every bit as memorable as your Le Bernardin visit.
re: ramenbound
We'll be staying at my family's. They just moved from Park Slope to Red Hook.

November 23, 2014
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Prosecutors say the man charged with killing two San Francisco jewelry store clerks and critically wounding the shop owner believed he had been overcharged.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Assistant District Attorney Scot Clark told a judge during 23-year-old Barry White's first court appearance on Tuesday that White returned to the store to dispute a purchase he made in May. Clark said White thought the item did not have as many grams of precious metal as advertised, and he had overpaid by about $300.
White is accused of shooting Hung and 51-year-old store clerk Lina Lim on Friday.
Clark said White cut another clerk, 35-year-old Khin Min, from ear to ear with a knife. Min and Lim died.
White did not enter a plea. His attorney, Steve Taxman, said the charges were only allegations.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A precise count is difficult to come by, but officials at four hospitals in the Oklahoma City area say they've more than 200 hundred patients, including dozens of children, since yesterday's deadly tornado struck.
Dozens of patients remain hospitalized this evening.
The storm killed at least 24 people, including at least nine children. But the fire chief in Moore, perhaps the hardest hit community, says he's "98 percent sure" there are no more victims or survivors under the rubble.
Fire Chief Gary says every damaged home has been searched at least once, and that his goal is to conduct three searches of each location just to be sure.
He's hopeful the work could be completed by nightfall, though heavy rains have slowed efforts and soaked debris piles.
The National Weather Service says the tornado that hit Moore was a top-of-the-scale EF-5 twister with winds of at least 200 mph. It cut a path 17 miles long and 1.3 miles wide.

Theatre of Horror: Crime and Punishment in Early Modern Germany - Richard Van Dulmen Horror Book Review
Horror books Review
Early Modern crime and punishment evokes images of burning, public torture, and hanging and quartering. This book explores the religious, symbolic and political conditions in which such punishments were inflicted. The author argues that punishment was so terrible because there was little belief in rehabilitation of offenders, and the only purpose punishments served was to expiate crimes. He describes how symbolism influenced the institution and execution of tortures. The murderer of a child was thrown into a river in a sack, in which there were also a dog, a chicken, a snake and a monkey, all of which were allegorical representations of aspects of the evil that had been committed. Many punishments, such as burning on a wheel, were continued long after the victim was dead - the punishment being an expiatory ritual as much as a means of killing. The book also contains a studies of the crowds who turned up to witness executions in this period, and of the executioners themselves.

Fancy SF Restaurant with great vegetarian options?
A vendor wants to take me and a couple of colleagues out to a "sky's the limit" meal next Monday, and we wanted to go to Prospect, but of course it's booked already. Any ideas for a great restaurant that has good/interesting vegetarian options (one of us is a veg)? It's all about the food for me, but since they're paying, I wouldn't mind going someplace high end.
Ideas? Close to Fidi would be optimal. Thanks!
Perbacco seems like just what you're looking for.
230 California St, San Francisco, CA 94111
There is a vegetarian tasting menu a La Folie.
Quince is another restaurant that fits the bill with a wide range of vegetarian options.
La Folie
2316 Polk St., San Francisco, CA 94109
Coi's menu (San Francisco Chronicle Four-star, Michelin Three-star) is mostly produce/vegetable to begin with. They would only have to make small changes to create a completely vegetarian tasting menu. I can't think of any place in the city that is more creative or elegant with vegetarian food.... as well as having spectacular meats, fish and fowl.
373 Broadway, San Francisco, CA 94133
re: Paul H
Coi came to mind but it is closed on Mondays.
re: Paul H
Just a note that Coi is a Michelin 2-star (as of 2010). The only 3 star in the Bay Area is the French Laundry.
The French Laundry
6640 Washington Street, Yountville, CA 94599
re: nancyxo
You are of course correct. Sorry. Though Coi is currently the only Michelin two-star restaurant in San Francisco.
Here is a thread from just a day or two ago discussing the same topic, although perhaps not quite as Fancy as you seem to be looking for. I recommend Perbacco as well.
230 California St, San Francisco, CA 94111
Sky's the limit, all the tasting menu places have veggie tasting menus.
Luce, TDRATRC, Coi.
I will specifically anti-recommend Boulevard, if that comes up. The kitchen is not very accommodating when it comes to making a veggie meal.
Those of you saying Perbacco - the online menu has *zero* veggie mains (the two veggie pastas and apps look super good though). Is there more than meets the eye?
re: bbulkow
would not recommend luce
re: vulber
I've eaten at Luce three times, most recently for their Iron Chef Prix Fixe dinner. The room isn't comfortable, but the food is very solid and sometimes is excellent and, though expensive, is a very good value for the quality of food.
re: Shellw
I think that's because Millennium is a place vegetarians like more than omnivores do. At least this omnivore.
re: Tripeler
What dishes do you like there? I took a party of friends there years ago and most thought it 'challenging'.
re: bbulkow
I haven't been there in about a year, but I recall the tamale with mushrooms and the miso tempeh (fermented soybeans) were quite tasty. The salads have always been good. Perhaps the best thing has been that my vegetarian friends visiting have always been delighted.
re: Tripeler
It wasn't easy finding a place for three of us (two omnivores and a vegetarian) to eat, but when we read the menu of Millennium online, we had no trouble reaching consensus. It sounded like we'd found a high-end vegetarian restaurant that served elegant food and paid special attention to wine, an important point for all of us.
We ordered the Sunshine menu, with the wine pairings. To the server's credit, she talked up but didn't hard sell the more expensive tasting menu. Then the food started to appear. And so too did the cracks in what we hoped was going to be a memorable gastronomic experience.
Rather than trusting in the excellent and often unexpected ingredients on the plate (orange apples, creamy baked grits, tomato confit, fine blueberry sorbet), the kitchen feels compelled to add layers and layers of jarring tastes just to compensate for what? Feelings of inadequacy? When a raw soup is topped with a garnish of crisp celery and apples, an excellent opening gambit to stimulate appetite and cleanse the palate, what does adding raw chilis and Thai basil do for the freshness? It kills it. Why do tempeh (woefully over-cooked and chalky as if it had been left in a cafeteria steam tray too long) and grits need a sticky glaze, a nut "cheese", a fruit chutney and bitter greens all at once? Obviously, they don't. This is vegetarian cooking with a chip on its shoulder, with something to prove. And it fails to convince.
Almost more disappointing, the wines were an unmitigated failure. Maybe it has something to do with natural vegan wines available, but surely anyone who had tasted the food (or even the pared down flavors that should have underlined each dish) could have guessed that the fruity Spanish wine was never going to stand up to the acidity of the soup, or that the hit of tannin from another red wouldn't go with the Indian spices or the béchamel-ed greens or the sautéed fennel on the potato pancake. The low-point was the pinot noir served with a tasty bean and tomato confit stew (one serving of which was ruined by a handful of raw garlic; the other two plates of the same dish were unscathed). I pushed away my glass and was commenting to my fellow diners that the one-note Burgundy lacked any depth or character, unaware that our server was right behind me. She cheerfully agreed with me, saying she really liked the pinot noir they used to have, but that this one was really not very good. But did she apologize, offer to take away the glass, or suggest a substitute? Of course not. She delivered her judgment then went on her way,
That was a indicative of the service overall: chirpy, friendly and oblivious. Plate after plate and glass after glass were taken away half-eaten or undrunk, but no comment was ever made and no concern about our satisfaction or lack thereof was ever expressed. Our last pairing, a "port" from California, arrived a good 25 minutes before the dessert. Neither the wine nor the dessert were worth the wait. Why try to imitate a crème brûlée if the best you can do is make a pudding rendered grainy with thickener? We wanted to ask what the "crème" was made of, but by the end of the meal, and despite the fact that there were still four others tables eating, there was no one around to ask, and no one to wish us good night. By that time, our culinary curiosity had long been stifled, and we left with a not pleasant aftertaste in our mouths.
There were flashes of inspiration (the beans, the grits, the potato, the soup) but every last one of them was marred by carelessness or sensory overload. We might have been more-forgiving in a place that didn't make claims to greatness, but with a reputation to live up to and at over $90 a head, there is really no excuse for such glaring faux-pas.
Millennium Restaurant
580 Geary St., San Francisco, CA 94102
re: vincentinparisandrome
Sorry to hear it. But based on past meals, not that surprised. Thanks for posting.

Then, during the show, we'll talk about Jeremy's new app, OKDOTHIS, and other photo apps and that whole space in general. Since Lisa did Camera+, well she's kind of an expert! We'll also all catch up, share some new photos, and, well, just kinda hangout. And, as usual, we'll be taking live questions through the G+ Hangout! These are three great photographers, and it's always fun just to sit around and talk about photography with people like this, so I'm mega excited. The four of us are also starting +The Arcanum together, so we may touch on that too... There are applications flying in from all over the world not only to be Apprentices, but also Masters. One guy that just applied to be a Master is Benjamin +Von Wong ! He's amazing and just one example. Perhaps during the show, his name will come up and we can show his amazing portfolio at http://www.vonwong.com/And thanks again to +Peter Giordano for being our awesome host and to +Dave Veffer for being our awesome beardededed producer!

|Drink And Click™ SF
|Wow, you know you are having an awesome month of special guests when you need not one, but TWO Drink and Clicks to fit them all in! I have just received word that +Elia Locardi and his wife +Naomi Locardi from http://www.blamethemonkey.com/, AND +Brian Matiash will BOTH be in town this week! Now this is a trifecta of awesomeness! So to celebrate, we will be taking them out in one of the most fun and diverse sections of San Francisco...North Beach! Chinatown, Portsmouth Square Plaza, Washington Square, St. Peter's and Pauls Church....the shooting possibilities are endless. It also doesn't hurt that this neighborhood has plenty of great bars and cafes to socialize in. I will work on a updated itinerary this weekend. But this much I know. We are meeting at Vesuvio Cafe at 255 Columbus at 5:00PM. PLEASE BRING CASH IF YOU ARE GOING TO ORDER A DRINK! We will be there until a little after 6:15, when we will take off and walk the streets to get the great light. Afterwards, who knows...more drinking and of course more clicking! So come on SF Bay Area Photogs. Let's welcome +Brian Matiash +Elia Locardi and +Naomi Locardi to SF! (BTW, this is the FIRST time the Locardis have been to SF, so let's get a great big turnout and show them how we do it.)Thanks +Chris Chabot for the awesome cover photo!

|Hey Drinkers and Clickers!This month's chapter-wide Drink and Click challenge is "Strangers in a Bar" (be sure to RSVP here: https://plus.google.com/events/c9drj349qqhfeojj295k101amos?gl=us&hl=en), so to make sure the SF chapter has the opportunity to go up against literally the rest of the world, we're on a mission to the bars of the Mission!Most of the photography will be indoors, in the style of the month's challenge. Maybe +Chris Chabot will bring his sweet lighting setup again! Those who were looking forward to shooting some sweet cityscape views at Potrero Hill, don't worry, +Drink And Click™ SF will head there in March.The bars we're hitting Thursday each have a quirky, individual feel to them, and all have musical character, so get ready to get down, get funky, and get your groove on! Or at least take photos of other people who are! Most of the live music starts a little later, so depending on how late you stay out you may catch a performance or two.Approximate Schedule:6:30: we'll set the mood at the Elbo Room (647 Valencia St)7:30: we'll migrate south to Amnesia Bar (853 Valencia St)8:30: we'll close the night at Benders Bar (806 South Van Ness Ave) Check this event page for updates on where we are! Or message +Robyn Chau, +Tony Eckersley, or +Michael Bonocore directly to meet up with us along the way.This is a Thursday, so since most of us have to be up early on Friday, it'll be a little lower key than January's [awesome] event. All the same, we can still get a couple of hours of good clean fun in before everyone retires to their weeknight routines. :)Hope to see you there!!Note: Many D&C regulars do not imbibe, so don't feel you have to in order to participate. The only requirement to be part of this group and these events is a love of photography, whatever your skill level and beverage preference :)

|2500 Kick Ass Google+ Photographers (part 3 of 5)This is the fifth time I've shared my photographer's circle on Google+. I'm going to share it in 5 posts. Last week I shared last name A-Da, and Da-Ho. Today's , part 3 of 5, today, represents Ho-Mi. I'll share the remaining two tomorrow and Thursday. I originally shared my photographers circle at 500, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 photographers. I'll probably share it again eventually when it gets to 3,000.A few notes about this circle.The criteria that I look for (and don't always get right) in this circle is that the photographer produce interesting and engaging photography. I also look for people who are active in the community, post mostly their own work, and post regularly. I'm looking more for people who post their own work and less of the noise stuff (gifs, links, non-photography, promotions, etc.). I also like people who are positive, friendly, nice, helpful, etc. and dislike people who are mean, snarky, jerks, disrespectful, etc.I have a pretty well known bias against signatures and watermarks. You will see very few photographers in my circles who use them. I really hate the watermark debate and would rather not have it with folks. I just don't like them -- it's my circle that I have to look at. There are likely a few folks in here who use them who are friends of mine, but for the most part, this is a pretty watermark free circle. It's totally cool if you love your watermark, it's just not something I really want to look at. Please don't hate me for my aesthetic preference. Finally, the photography community on Google+ is probably the best one on the internet today. There is no way that I can possibly include all of the fine photographers worth following on G+. There are wayyyyy too many. These are just 2,500 that I personally have noticed. I'm sure I left out some really amazing ones -- like you if you are not in this circle :) I'll probably also totally kick myself when I realize that I accidentally left out a really obvious good one who may even be a friend of mine -- again, maybe even like you. :)Stay tuned for parts 4 and 5 and thanks again to all of the great photographers on G+ who make this place such a delight to hang out.Part 1-5: http://goo.gl/17ujpnPart 2-5: http://goo.gl/3vn0OC*Note, Google Circles are terribly wonky. It wouldn't let me add some photographers in my circle into these circles because of "domain errors." If this affected you, sorry about that.

|Still having trouble finding G+ to be an active photography community?This is a list of the major players in my photography circles. Add this puppy and I think you'll solve your problem. In fact you might be overwhelmed and wish you had only added a few from it, which is another good idea, depending on your sitch, and what not.The standard circle share spiel: If you want to be in this circle and you aren't, then start sharing good photography and participating. Interaction on my posts / posts of people I follow helps, too. Easy peasy. Please don't ask me to add you. Thanks!Cc-ing +Darren LoPrinzi, who was looking for some good folks to follow. : )

|2,000 Kick Ass Photographers on Google+Part 2 of 4 (Ev-La)Part 1 of 4 (A-Ev) here: http://goo.gl/Z333gThis is the fourth time since joining G+ almost a year ago that I'm sharing my photographers circle. I shared it with 500 photographers, 1,000 photographers, 1,500 photographers and now 2,000 photographers. I have to break my circle up into four 500 photographer circles as that is the G+ limit. Each day this week (Mon.- Thurs.) I'll share a different circle. Today is the second circle and includes photographers with the last name's Ev-La. A few notes about these circles. I always get hated on when I share them by people. Inevitably if I include 2,000 people, I will leave 50,000 people out. This is not intentional or personal. This circle is not "the best" photographers on G+ or in the world. It doesn't mean if you are not in my circle that you are not a "quality" photographer. This list is simply photographers that I've stumbled across for whatever reason over the past year and have chosen to follow their work. In some cases I've gotten to know the photographers in this circle personally -- through photowalks and trips, hangouts, in real life, etc. Many of these people are or have become my friends. Most of the photographers in my circle though I don't even know. They are just people whose work I admire and want to consume -- I hope many are future friends. :)I use some objective criteria with this circle but I use a lot of subjective criteria too. This is, afterall, my own personal circle that I look at and +1 from every single day. My aesthetic taste and personal preferences may be very, very different than yours. This is ok. Art is subjective. That said, here a breakdown of my own preferences and biases that influence who I add into my circle.1. I like people who are active on G+. If you haven't posted one of your photos in the last month you probably are not in this circle. I use a script to uncircle inactive people regularly.2. I like photographers who mostly post their own photographs. I dislike clutter and "dumb stuff" in my photographers circle. Excessive reshares, circle shares, memes, gifs, youtube videos, posts not about photography, web links, etc. make me uncircle or move people to a different circle. I also like photographers who regulate how much of their photography they post to their stream. I don't want to see 50 shots in a row of someone's vacation. I think about 5 photos max a day feels about right to me.3. *Controversial* I dislike signatures and watermarks. You will find photographers in my circle that use them. It's just a bias, not a hard and fast rule. I mostly want this stream to be as watermark/signature free as possible. I totally understand and respect your reasons and decision for using watermarks/signatures. I hope you equally respect my decision to not want to consume photos mared up with them. Please don't turn this into a discussion about watermarks/sigs, I've spent the last 10 years thinking heavily about this issue. It's just a personal preference and bias.4. I like people who are active, positive, helpful, enthusiastic G+ community members. I dislike people who are rude, mean, complainers, trolls, harrasers, etc. If you say mean things to people, about people, about their art or their work I don't want to follow you. I'm fine with debate and disagreement. It should just be done respectfully -- there's a huge difference between respectful disagreement and rude behavior. Not only will you not be in this circle if you are rude, I'll probably block you too. I want to surround myself with positive uplifting people. 5. I like people who directly post their work here on

|Figured I'd share this circle.

Well, that sneaky little Santa delivered the goods to the Jemison's household. One gift at a time. I left him a note next to the cookies to simply have his elf press the shutter after each present is placed under the tree. As you can see, the Elf did a great job.

My first lingerie shoot... okay, maybe not my first (wink, wink). Thanks to +Jason Laurea I was fortunate enough to hang out in this beautiful home directly across from the Palace of Fine Arts and shoot two wonderful models for Rock & Rose shape wear (coming this Spring).
Eileen, pictured here, was amazing! She was professional, knew how to pose, knew how to work her angles, eyes, hair, everything. Jason and I were lucky she was there to make our jobs so much easier. The day flew by and we came away with some great shots for our client. More to come...

Sitting here listening to the rain, editing photos. What do y'all think about this one from Byron Hot Springs Hotel? Right before I left, I walked around the back of the hotel and the sun had finally burnt through the fog to the east. I spent another 30 minutes shooting into the sun to get some high contrast and some yummy lens flare.

Malachi and his twin sister
The shot on the wall is Eden at 7 months. Malachi is starting to take on his own look. I have at least one shot a month picked out to replicate for his first year of life... This one turned out perfect when he grabbed the rail and gave me his best 'sister pose'.

The 95th Livermore Rodeo
I was fortunate enough to shoot from the sidelines (aka, the dirt) thanks to my friend +Jason Laurea. I shot with a 600 mm and was able to capture a lot of tight, intimate moments between the cowboys and the moo-moos. Here's one of those tight shots, (no cropping needed) from the team roping event.

It's fun to go back to the neighborhood you grew up in as a child (okay, it may not be fun for all of us). Charity spent many years running around barefoot in San Bruno. The house she grew up in is behind her, to the right. She remembers this street was her whole world back in the day, and now it all seems so, small. It's amazing how growing up and exploring can make your little corner of the world feel so small. Some people never get to leave the city or small town they were born in, so I feel very blessed to have parents that brought me out of the "hood" to see what the rest of the country had to offer. But, I must admit, living in California is pretty nice.

This was shot about a year ago out at Isla Mujeres, just off the coast of Cancun. I left my $600 tripod out there on the back of the golf cart we rented the previous day. Knowing the chances of it being recovered were pretty slim, I said a quick prayer and headed out to see if I could retrieve my baby. I figured the worst that could happen... already happened, so why not head back out to the island and see if I could at least walk around and get my "Jay Maisel" on for a morning. I arrived at the rental spot and asked the lady, who didn't speak much english, if she had seen a tripod. She said she was going to get her brother, out back. So I waited for him to return, and sure enough, he came around the corner with my carbon fiber first born. I was ecstatic! I gave him all the cash I had in my pocket, about $50 US dollars, and headed on my way to find some breakfast. I was so happy I thought I... more »

Cancun, Mexico. What do I miss about Mexico the most? Walking outside at any time of night, only to feel the warm humid air on my skin. We spent a lot of time laying out at the beach at night. No sun. No people. Just the sound of the ocean, and the warm mist from the sea.

So here's a little look back at one year ago today. Do you remember? Were you there? It was the Google+ Photographers Conference in San Francisco. I knew I had to go to this "once in a lifetime" event when it was announced right here in the bay. Unfortunately I've heard, from several "off the record" talks I've had with people familiar with the matter, this will never happen again. At least, not Google and Kelby together. I did have a great time, though. This was the second day of the conference and I met so many new photographer buddies during the conference. Hey, any reason to hang out in S.F. and shoot photos is a good one, so hopefully Google will do something like this again in the future, huh +Brian Matiash ?? :)

Just me and the boy today. Momma is out-and-about with Eden, so of course I took some time to snap some shots of Malachi. I got about 10 shots before he quit cooperating, luckily, I got one good one.

Eden throwing rocks in Lake Del Valle. She was trying her best to throw herself in too. I caught her on her tippy-toes for a split second as the rock splashed in the lake.

Hello G+. I think it's a great day to resurrect my social life here on G+ with all the new additions/features announced at Google I/O today. So let me jump right in...
Here's two of the three reasons I haven't been around here as much as I used to, Eden and +Charity Jemison. I put them, and my son, first on the priority list every day. When people say they [kids] grow up fast, they aren't joking. Eden is already 2 1/2 years old and my son Malachi is approaching 4 months. I feels like we just brought him home last week.
So in this absence I've been shooting just as much as I did before Eden and Malachi came into my life, I just haven't been sharing any of the photos...What's the point of that? (insert "Ain't nobody got time for that" quote here) One thing I miss about taking time to post a picture everyday is the accountability. Even if it is... more »

Malachi at 7 weeks. My son is growing so fast, seems like he was just born yesterday, now look at him.

Well thank you Google and NIK! I just found $400 in my pocket. Cha-ching!

Eden in the Orchard
I headed east yesterday to find some flowering almond trees to shoot in. We got out of the house later than I had planned, but I still was able to shoot for 20 minutes before the sun went down. This is my favorite shot of my daughter Eden hanging out in the orchard with her Easter bunny.
Geek details: Fired a speedlite through an umbrella, camera left, ETTL +1 and a slow shutter speed to help light the orchard.

I watch this and just think how my 2 year old daughter and 3 week old son will never know what it's like not to have the internet, not to have computers in their pockets. I started coding at a very basic level in junior high, and then was re-introduced to it in college via Flash. I wanted to make something great and interactive, but needed to learn how to code (HTML and ActionScript) to bring my vision to life. Although Flash is all but dead, I continued to learn HTML and CSS and had so much fun solving layout problems (during the IE6 years) and it has stuck with me. I can't wait to teach this to my kids.

Malachi at Three Weeks
Well that went by fast. The days seem to blend together when you're not on a regular sleeping schedule.

Some great info for all you Lightroom users. I don't have a SSD drive yet, and I'm sure that would increase performance immensely. Another great tip from this article is Order of Develop Operations, I had no clue that mattered.

I went out shooting today after the torrential rain we've had over the last few days passed to the east. Got up to the top of the hill just in time to take about a dozen shots before the sun dipped below the hills. Then, it got cold, quick. So we went and had some sushi ;)

Hey look! A photo I took at the National Ignition Facility was published in the National Geographic, coughonlinecough. Pretty cool.
Here's that same photo in my photo album: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/110745311686653416378/albums/5728425824456379137/5766997283848642402

Can you imagine the "ah ha!!" moment the engineer had when he thought of this. Brilliant.

This should be a fun Meetup. For any of you first-time Photoshop World attendees, this is a great time to meet folks that you'll see in the following days of the conference. And, the EyeCandy Lounge is a great location for this event.

Eden, Coco Frio, Cancun.
Eden loved Cancun. The sand... not so much. She didn't like the feeling of sand on her feet. She would sit down and pick every last grain off her feet and cry if we tried to put her in it again. Oh well. Maybe when she gets older. Now, the coco, she loved.

Alternate version from inside the National Ignition Facility
I thought I'd share an alternate shot from the TIME story I re-shared earlier. I always include a person in these, otherwise surreal, photos of the National Ignition Facility. This is also a toned down version, not so dramatic, relative to the previous image. See that here if you missed it earlier: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/110745311686653416378/albums/5728425824456379137/5766997283848642402

A recent photo I shot, featured in TIME (online)
A few weeks ago the National Ignition Facility made history with the first 500 terawatt shot. You can read more about it here https://www.llnl.gov/news/newsreleases/2012/Jul/NR-12-07-01.html
...or you can read the article from TIME below.
I took the shot below with one 600EX RT speedlite pointed directly at the camera with a blue gel. The flash symbolizes the convergence of ultraviolet light and power in the NIF Target Chamber.

China Town Photo Walk
I was able to drop in on a hangout today with +RC Concepcion. I shared a handful of photos from the photo walk he led during the #GPlusPC event. RC hadn't seen some of them so I collected a few of my favorites into this album.
*Side note
I probably have posted a handful of these previously, but can't figure out how to move or copy them to a new album while keeping the comments alive. I thought this was possible in Picasa, but +Google+ moved that from the black bar, and I'm not sure if the functionality is in Google+. Anyone know how to do this?

Photographers, make sure you get out from behind the camera
Just a quick reminder. To all my photographer friends, make sure you hand your camera to a loved one every once and a while. This image was taken last weekend by my wife, Charity. My daughter Eden, and I were enjoying some ice cream at the Alameda County Fair. I want to make sure Eden can look back at the thousands of images I've taken and occasionally see some of the great moments we shared. So make sure you hand your camera (in Professional mode, of course) to a loved one to capture these moments with your loved ones.

As if I don't have enough photos to process, I took the time to re-edit this today. Someone hit me up on Flickr asking if I'd be interested in selling it for the cover of the local Yellow Pages. So, I though if I was going to put it in the running, I might as well freshen it up a little. I mean, it's almost four years old, and to think, I'm still shooting with the same Canon 40D. too.
Here's the original edit back in 2008
