Bad Stache

Bad Stache, originally uploaded by dalviaw.

I am pretty often growing a beard and shaving a beard. So I decide to shave the beard for the holidays and Mary wouldn't check the beard shaving process. BAD IDEA. I left the stache and rolled to work that day. It was funny. When I got home Mary wouldn't even look at me until I shaved.

As I took this shot Lou began to get a little hungry. So this was the only shot I was able to get on our walk on Second Street. I am glad it came out.

Meet Gus. Gus was in the processes of brewing Turtle's Stewy Brown. It was fun to brew our own craft beer. We have to go pick it up in 3 weeks so we'll see if it taste as good as it was fun.

This little dogs time had come. Thanks for helping your Mommy Tish all those years.
Tish's Facebook Post about Jose:

Tish Alcantara - Our family dog has been laid to rest. Lil Jose was an extraordinary companion. He was carried around in a purse long before other chihuahuas were a Hollywood accessory. Jose was more than a toothless ankle biter in his prime. He attended soccer games , river rafted, marched in parades, visited hospitals , crashed weddings and brought endless joy. RIP lil buddy.. i will miss you :)

Another Flickr Group Roulette. Killing two birds with one stone. I used selective coloring to highlight the blue.

We went to Aunt Terry's La Quinta house. This is a view from out of the awesome timeshare we stayed in Palm Springs. I definitely know when I am someplace away from home when you have view of the mountains. Now the ocean that is a different story.

At Last Cafe

This great little find in Long Beach has some great food and $4 dollar corking. Don't think you can just walk up and get a table though reservations only for there 6 tables. Great Food and it was nice to hang out with Mary and Lou.

My family came to visit me at work. I was very happy but sometimes but Lou's face could be transplanted to mine and I would make since.

Louis is very happy to hang out and yawn, spit up, and.... on willing friends.

Tug

Tug, originally uploaded by dalviaw.

I was on a bike ride and stopped and almost fell over. Not because of the photo in front of me (as it should be) but because I had new cycling shoes on and the cleats are in a different spot then my previous shoes. I was glad the tug was going slowly and I was able to capture this moment.

This condo complex in Long Beach has a neon sign that is seen from different points in Long Beach. It was a guiding light home for Lou and I after hanging out.

This is my first entry into the Flickr Group Roulette. I love the concept. Finding things to shoot in a project 365 can be challenging. I love being able to contributeor not based on the topic. I think this is going to help my photography even more.

Serious Drink

Serious Drink, originally uploaded by dalviaw.

As many of our family and friends have seen our little man takes his bottle very serious. I mean he will growl at you if it is taken away. In the past few days it has gotten even more serious because his new bottle is 1/2 his size.

I chose this photo for two reason. One post editing to Black and White and the only photos I took that day. I think I like the Black and White photo better.

I really like still life set ups. I am sure if i made a mess creating a still ife Mary would have my head. So I always look for a good expression of the season. I bumped the exposure to get the white blend better I am happy with this shot.

This duck was hanging out in the pond at the Westin Mission HIlls we spent the weekend at my In laws time share. It was very relxing and I was able to focus much needed attention to my family and photos.

Lately the daily photo has been going like this. I have an idea for a shot and then two days later I take it. So here is a paper weight on my desk. I guess when your in the export industry a Grab hook is a logical paperweight. This hook can hold 7100#'s.
