Dear Stomach: I'm Sorry (again)

Welcome to another edition of "Dear Stomach: I'm Sorry", a tale of our food and drink adventure yesterday that will make you fat just from looking at the photos. We started with the intention of having a simple bowl of ramen for lunch, that somehow turned into a 7 hour local excursion of stomach stretching gluttony. The itinerary included: Breakfast at Mi Noodles, beer flights at Annex Ales, epic caesars and dessert at Cleaver, skeeball and arcades at Home & Away and Tubby Dog, and then pad thai stuffed burgers at Naina's.

While this adventure paled in comparison to our last outing in February, my stomach is nonetheless gurgling now, and I can't tell if it's because I'm dying, or if it's just in shock from not having eaten in more than an hour.

If any of you are interested in joining us next time for one of these impromptu eating binges, let me know and I'll play culinary tour guide for you.

Tim and Lesley's Wedding

Once every couple of years, someone grossly overestimates my photography skills and asks me to photograph their wedding day. And for some dumb reason, the words 'Sure, I can do it' fall out of my mouth faster than my brain can remind me of how much I suck at this, and how it stresses me the frick out that I'll ruin someone's big day. And so here we are, a couple years removed from the last wedding I shot, when Tim asked me to shoot his big day. No pressure, this is only like my adopted family and all. Fraaack.

Anyways, here's a selection Dean and I shot that I thought turned out okay. Hopefully Tim and Lesley aren't too dismayed by our crap results.
