thanks to michele’s aunt who took out her old nikon gear for us, we’ve now got some new tools to play with! more on that later. here’s some vacation food pics…it was actually alot of fun learning manual focus on the spot, good thing the food models weren’t getting impatient =)

.

…still working on getting our pics a little brighter, lighting is tough!

.
so we’ve been busy the last couple weeks…decided to move into adulthood and made our first home purchase along with some other interesting things…thanks to everyone for the help getting it cleaned up and painted.
.
as much as we loved the fuax curtain wallpaper trim, it just wasn’t working.



.
yea, it’s that pink…even the ceiling.


.
they updated the stove and fridge which was nice


.

.
our bedroom was a light tan, almost grey…we changed it to ‘almond’ which goes with the shades already there. score!

.
our bed for a few nights……i swear, her face always looks the same like it’s just rotated into position hahhahaha

.
wan’s going to make us a mantle…i’m liking his ideas so far too.

.
and the backyard…

.
housewarming gift from kelvin, aka ass, aka bro-in-law…real funny

.
first rice cooker i’ve ever had (another gift lol)

.
i liked this pic…the chinese place near us never had a bean curd szechuan style request before so they hooked it up with a quart full of tofu!

.
we found this in front of some guy’s house and grabbed it for free. more updates on it after the weekend…

.
we got tons of stuff from my sis, michele’s fam, and friends…like this ikea coffee table, just a little wood glue and it’s g2g!
.

.
that’s all for now! i wanted to post a pic-a-day to help with the camera experience, so this’ll be an introduction =)
.
oh and one more thing =D
.

.

.
now back to work since george is coming next!

been doing a ton of reading on kitchen knives…so we’re both able to do work, we’re gonna start with an 8″ chef’s knife and a santoku to start. then we’ll get a paring and a decent set of steak knives for the table later. now to the research.

.

global, wüsthof, and shun (kershaw) lead the pack…

.

might get the Wusthof Trident Grand Prix II, it’s forged and reasonably priced. like any other commodity, prices set the bar for perfection…

.

.

still haven’t decided on which santoku to get, but for the gangster in you, the shun kaji:
