“No Parking” — Behind a no-parking sign in front of Centro on Pearl Street at 10th. @dailyshoot #ds285 for something metallic. (photo via my Flickr)
“We Like Our Bubble” — It’s the window of a business on the north side of Pearl Street between 8th and 9th Streets. It’s been around for many months, and I cannot figure out what they do. The space inside is mostly empty with some Macs and a conference table. But they have this great motto on their window. Shot for @dailyshoot #ds280 for glass with reflection. (Photo via my Flickr)
“A Girl on a Rock” — Pearl Street at 11th Street, looking westward. Not a great shot from the technical standpoint, but I like how the colors, the lights and the blur make the shot look surreal. 8:24PM MDT. ISO 1600 f/4.5 1/3 +1/3 EV and spot-metered in the middle of the frame. (Photo via my Flickr)
“Victorian Moose” — One of my favorite shots in the recent weeks. Shot in front of Two Spoons while waiting for gelato. Shot for @dailyshoot #ds278 for a shallow DoF. (Photo via my Flickr)
“Baja Fish Fry” — Not a great food photo shot, but it’s my favorite dish at Centro Latin Kitchen. (Trying to take a photo of the food in front of me when I’m hungry is not a good idea.) Fried rock cod with seared greens and hot corn salad. Poblano tartar, spicy vinegar and habanero dipping sauces. The fish is crispy, and the corn salad bursts with flavors. The habanero dipping sauce is my favorite. A great deal for $16. Shot for @dailyshoot #ds277 for a meal. (Photo via my Flickr)
“Blue Morning Glory” — I love the colors. Shot for @dailyshoot #ds274 for a plant. (Photo via my Flickr)
This shot never gets old—day/night, rain/shine. It’s always breathtaking.
The Golden Gate Bridge from the Marin Headlands. It’s a classic shot that I’m happy to take time and time again. Photographed with a iPhone 4.

“StrEatChefs.com” — My colleague and friend Jenny organized a field trip outing for lunch today to the StrEat Chefs location for the day. It’s a gourmet food truck, started by a team headed by the Season 5 winner of Top Chef, Hosea Rosenberg. The truck parks in different places in and around Boulder to serve lunch. The food was amazing. I got the grilled cheese, “loaded” with pork belly and apple jam ($6), and it was an excellent combination of flavors. I also got a taste of homemade golden tater tots with green chile and cheese ($4), and the sauce was flavorful, but two orders of the tots themselves were cold. My colleagues raved about the tomato and watermelon gazpacho with mint ($4) and the cherry limeade ($2). Chef Hosea was present himself and served food to customers out of one of the trailer windows. StrEatChefs is a great idea, well executed, and I can’t wait to go back in the future. Shot for @dailyshoot #ds275 for a sign. (Photo via my Flickr. More here, here and here.)
“Light Reading” — More iPhone photography to come and complement my D90 photography. Pancake is reading about babies. (photo via my Flickr)
“Stump” — Another one from North Boulder Park. A view of the Flat Irons from the famous diamond-hole stump. I do have a photography project idea that I would implement if I had the time and the money. It would be “The Daily Flat Irons”—with one automated shot during the morning golden hour everyday for 365 days. @dailyshoot #ds271 (Photo via my Flickr)
“Box Elder Bug” — We have a large box elder tree behind our house, and that means lots of box elder bugs during the non-winter months. They manage to get into the house, and they are everywhere. I may consider spraying the tree with soapy water, which melts their exoskeleton. Shot for @dailyshoot #ds264 for bugs. Speedlight snooted with a small Rogue FlashBender. (photo via my Flickr)
“Cookie Monster Cupcakes” — By the baker extraordinaire (among many other things) Jenny for Xander’s birthday party yesterday. (Photo via my Flickr)
“Transparent Beans” — I haven’t had to buy coffee beans for several weeks. During my weekly grocery shopping today, I bought a bag of sumatra and noticed the new coffee bean bags at Sunflower Farmers Market. Instead of the single line on which people write in the name of the beans, now the bags have a see-through window. Of course, being a coffee connoisseur that I am, I can tell that these beans are sumatra simply by looking at them through the window. (photo via my Flickr)
Before…
…and after!
Under my desk at work has been a huge tangle of mess for years—and growing. Finally got a CableBox, some CableClips and some CableDrops from BlueLounge to organize. Having done it, I actually feel good walking into my office in the morning and sitting at my desk.
“Flowers” — Wild flowers next to the Boulder Creek multi-use path. I don’t love the shot, but it seems to be popular on Flickr with 44 views so far since posting, which is high for my photos (except of course the famous drinking Elmo shot, which inexplicably has 120 views so far. For @dailyshoot #ds260 (photo via my Flickr)
