Season's first...

Olympus Pen E-P1 @ my house
Model: My american chicken wings

The forecast said bad weather for the Easter weekend, but the desire to have first BBQ of the season has overcome and my perseverance finally paid off. At mid-morning weather turns out great along with...my american chicken wings! Mmm....slurpy-licious!

My first Bubba...

Tech data: Canon EOS 300D, Sigma 17-35 mm f/2.8-4 EX
Location: Miami, FL - April 2004

It was seven years ago, during a walk on the waterfront in Miami that I discovered my first Bubba Gump. Just outside the store a bench, a pair of sneakers and a suitcase put there ​​specifically for a classic snapshot. My mind thinks at that stuff and understands that the name Bubba Gump ... is not by chance! The movie Forrest Gump has in fact inspired this restaurant chain and has become very popular, especially in the US. The Bubba Gump Shrimp Company started in fiction as an idea between Benjamin Buford "Bubba" and Forrest Gump during their tour of duty in Vietnam, in which Bubba proposed the idea of going into business as shrimp boat fishermen. The main menu consists infact mostly of shrimp dishes and other seafood...by the way, if you are nearby...food is very good!
My visited Bubba locations so far: San Francisco, Santa Monica, Lahaina (Maui), Miami and Chicago...I hope to expand further my collection! :-)

New discoveries...

If you own a Lab, you surely know their love for water. My Lab Jasper makes no exception: he knows very well my sprinkler system or watering can at home, loves alpine lakes and rivers but the sea had yet to be discovered...until yesterday! After a first attempt to eat all the coming waves, he gained confidence and I had to literally drag him back home! His deep desire to enter is unbelievable!

Photo of the month: April

Architecture surrounds us every day, and is a very popular photography subject. Virtually everywhere we go, we are surrounded by some sort of architecture on a daily basis. I really like to experiment with wide angle lenses to produce extreme perspective, take snaps of a building from unusual angle or use telephoto lenses to produce great abstract effects. "Urban frame" is the new photo of the month on my website. Enjoy!
