Wow, it's March already.

Golden Gate at dusk, unprocessed

For my trip to the West Coast last week I took my tripod along, a lightweight Slik Pro 340DX weighing in at around 1.5 kilos. It spent practically all of its time either in the hotel room or in the trunk, but justified itself by allowing me to bag this shot of the Golden Gate bridge - a fifteen second exposure against a gusty breeze.

I hadn't been a believer in traveling with a tripod, but I guess I'm sold now!

In-your-face fatherhood
Sometimes it's still difficult for me to come to terms with the fact that I'm a Dad with a capital D. At least, during the times when Ethan is sleeping, since out-of-earshot means peace-of-mind for the now. But worry not, for Ethan is quick and eager to remind, alternating with toothless grins and a tenacious, ear-splitting wail. So I'm sure it won't take long for parenthood to etch itself into my eardrums.

A lot has happened in the past months that I haven't been blogging, but I'll dispense with racking my (really bad) memory for the details. Some memories were captured and uploaded to my flickr photostream, while others are destined to fade away, which is a pity really because I'm sure that many of them were nice memories, if only I could remember what they were. Ah, such is my lot.

Food-wise, I've tried a few places recently, but haven't found the strength to do any serious reviews. But do give the Galbiati Gourmet Deli a shot, especially their pizza, and let me know what you think. ;)
