Only here...

So all in one week I had 3 most unique experiences and they could only happen here...

First a stuck truck... I mean really! The sign says beware!!! I had a great laugh about this one for hours!


Then I'm in Healdsburg and see these "wild" zebras. I call to them and feed them and one even nuzzled my hand. Come to find out they never let anyone touch them. I always did have a way with animals! They were beautiful.


Then last but not least I was invited by friends to go sailing on the Bay. It was a beautiful evening, the weather was amazing, the boats were fantastic and I had a great time.


I love living in the Bay Area!

Congrats Phyllis and Del and all the others...

So today is the day that California has made it possible to be legally wed if you are gay. I saw a story about Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin being first in line in San Francisco and want to wish them well. I had the pleasure of meeting them in '04 at an event and have to say it's a remarkable story. You can read more about them here...http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/gay_marriage. Best wishes to all who make this journey. Finding love is not an easy task so if you have--congrats!!

Wine and Food

So I worked an event last week that happens yearly and what is most fascinating is watching Thomas Keller and his staff at work. The hosts and guests at this event are foodies and wine connoisseurs to the fullest. The guests typically number about 30 and Thomas brings about 30 staff members with him.

Thomas is very methodical and the respect and quietness of the kitchen is amazing. At home, I'm dropping things and wondering again why I decided to cook rather than order in again. It's a fun event and just filled with great people. The entertainment was Carlos Reyes and Ron Sfarzo. Who knew an accordion and violin could be so fun!

Thomas of course is www.FrenchLaundry.com and Carlos and Ron can be reached at www.sfarzoproductions.com.

Michelle + Paul

I adore Michelle and Paul!!!! Just a photographers dream client. It's cold and windy but do they care? Not in the least! I had so much fun with them. The day started at the Westin with Michelle getting ready with the girls then off to Grace Cathedral. It's so nice to see that they've laxed up a bit on the restrictions there. So then we hit the Yacht Club at Belvedere and well, I had a Sex and the City inspired moment and Michelle was all gams for it. So what a great day last Saturday and thanks to them and their families!
