day 305 : Ben and I have had two delicious meals in a row, thanks to our friend Jill, who suggested we go to a tasty vegan restaurant last night, and because Ben forgot his camera in her car, we met up again for lunch so he could get it back 🙂 Today we went to Cafe Bolivar in Santa Monica, which was so unbelievably tasty and affordable we will be going back many a time for sure. Take a look at the delicious arepas!

day 304: Well after the post yesterday Allison seemed to be concerned that she looked strange making that face 🙂 Just to prove that my sister is indeed a very pretty girl, here’s another (more flattering) shot of her from Disneyland yesterday evening. And my photo for the day… it’s been a while since I posted a self portrait so here you go. So much for the one self portrait a month 🙂

day 303: What happens when you carry your camera with you everywhere you go for an entire year, snapping photos of your same friends and family members? Eventually they start making faces at you in hopes that you will not take their picture. Here are two examples of “the face”. Nice guys. But I’m still going to take your picture 🙂

day 302: Sorry for not posting this yesterday… we were up late and it just didn’t get done. It was a rainy Saturday filled mostly with errands… but we did eat some ice cream. yum.

day 301: I spent the evening gathering together all my sample books and such for some client meetings on Sunday… this is my favorite. Love the cover… it’s silk brocade. Lovely stuff. Not much excitement on a rainy night. Which I believe is about to lead into a rainy weekend.

day 300: I can’t believe I didn’t notice (until just right now) that it’s day 300 of this little blog of mine! Wow… I don’t even have anything fancy to post. Oops.
Tonight after going out to the movies I immediately launched into a discussion about focal length and depth of field (is that all I think about these days?) so Ben and I pulled out the tape measure to see what effect various focal length/aperture combinations have on my depth of field in a more concrete sense (how many in-focus inches do you get at 50mm f1.4 when you’re 5 feet away? anyone?) Thanks for holding the tape measure Ben… and for putting up with my photo-crazed self for the last 300 days!

day 299: It’s been rough being in and out of the house so much in the last week… plus coming home after the holidays to a house without Rita… but I feel like Ben and I are finally getting back into the swing of things. We finally got out to the store to pick up food so we could go back to our old habit of making tasty dinners at home. It’s nice to feel settled again.

day 298 : what better way to end a weekend of playing excessive amount of wii than… well… playing more wii. We’ve become obsessed with the rayman game… dancing rabbits. What more could you ask?

day 297 : We rang in the new year in style (in party hats of course) by throwing confetti and toasting with champagne. Here’s one of my favorite shots of the night. Yay for the new year. I hope that 2008 brings you joy and happiness. I can’t wait to see what’s next!

day 296 : On Sunday everyone showed up for the big Palm Springs weekend. We played far too much wii, pool, and games … but we all had a blast. The biggest game of the evening was apples to apples, which I think Shiva got a bit annoyed with since she never won. But all was well when everyone got a prize at the end 🙂
