Ben is walking around San Francisco

Ben is at Gussies.

Gussie's Chicken and Waffles

It is right across the street from Grace's apartment in the Fillmore.

We ate a 1/2 fried chicken, 2 waffles and macaroni n' cheese.

Cot dayaaaaammmmmm.

Ben is in the rain.

A storm passed through the San Francisco bay area today.

I had to wait for Grace's dad to arrive at the airport and I shot these pics at dusk.

Ben is monotone.

Settings:  ISO 50, 50mm, f/4.5, 1/200 sec

Ben is thankful.

Grace is home and recovering, thanks to everyone for their prayers, gifts, words and thoughts.

I'm here in SF helping her during her recovery.

Here are some pics of the great stuff she received today from her brothers, Dawn, Monica, Vinji, Tammy and Theia.

Ben is protected.

Protect your lens investment!

Here is a 77mm B+W UV/Haze multi-coated filter for my 24-70L.

Ben is the second best Bull.

Today I drove alllll the way to Viejas Outlet Center in Alpine as I got a scoop that the Nike Clearance Store received a shipment of one of my favorite shoes growing up, the Air Pippen.

The OG black bulls based colorway is amazing, the white colorway comes out this year.

The best part?

They were $59 bucks.

Ben is at Calumet.

Calumet Escondido had a refurb/used clearance sale on Saturday.

I didn't quite make it, but today we went to check out the scraps.

I tried a $479 copy of the Canon 15mm f/2.8 fisheye out.

A little too much for me right now, but a cool picture.

Ben is at Jed's house.

It's amazing how the place has turned out!

A lot of time, hard work and patience has come together to make a very nice home for Jed and Alana.

Some pics of Jed giving my brother a short tour.

Ben is wearing.

Ben is taking portraits.

Here are two portraits that I took today at work.

5D Mark II with 24-70mm f/2.8L.

Ben is seizing the day.

Zoom Kobe IV "Carpe Diem"

The best Nike basketball shoe I have seen in quite a while.

Originally released in December 2008, I never purchased them as I thought they would never sell out.  I was wrong.

Thank you eBay.

Ben is bummed.

The game was something else.

I still have a bad hangover, but not from the alcohol.

At least we had fun before the game.

Ben is equipped.
