This is a little overdue, but my very first cover photo is on the June 2010 issue of Orange Coast Magazine. Available on newsstands near you. (as long as you live in Orange County).

For all your children’s plastic cup, bra, and meat needs, this guy has you covered.

Fresh meat.

Shopkeeper at one of the gazillion bakeries in Hong Kong.

The crowd waiting outside of Tim Ho Wan, an amazing Dim Sum restaurant in MongKok. The wait was over an hour and a half, but was ultimately so worth it. The food was ridiculously cheap as well, especially when you consider the place has earned a Michelin star.

Wow; I just realized it’s been over a month since I’ve put anything up. I figured I better remedy that, and wouldn’t you know it, I’ve got newly-edited pics from our recent trip to New Orleans. Mindy and I were there a couple weekends ago during a conference that she was attending. Having never been there before, I tagged along. We didn’t really know what to expect, but it ultimately turned out to be a pretty cool trip. Granted, we never strayed out of the French Quarter, and aside from Bourbon Street, it was a really lovely part of town. Some parts more touristy than others, but the architecture, art, and people make it really interesting.

The above shots are from the Cafe du Monde, a popular NOLA institution serving up beignets 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Pretty good, but really messy. I did manage to not inhale the powdered sugar while eating mine though, so I can at least claim that little victory.

If interested, I have other shots up at my Photoshelter gallery here.

Some things, for all the hype and attention they get, never seem to live up to the fanfare. Sprinkles Cupcakes, in Los Angeles, are not one of those things.
