Taken with the MD W.Rokkor 28 mm f/2.8 lens, Novoflex Minolta SR to RF adapter.
This lens is amazing. Got it for 25$. Condition like new. It has become my favorite lens for street photography and walking around. This image shows the sharpness all the way to the corners of this little gem (no crop). Of course it is a manual lens, but I grew up that way, and zone focusing (f8-16) is the way to go with this lens. The IBIS of the R6 keeps you out of trouble.
I enjoyed breakfast so much today, mostly because I used the bowl made by my dear friend Greg Colombe for the steel cut oats and cranberries., Whole I served my Chemex-brewed coffee in a mug made by the fabulous Cory McCrory. Artisanal all around!
He is operating a traditional wheel, which he puts in motion by employing a long wooden rod, pushing at the edge in a circular motion until the wheel gains momentum. Because the wheel is weighted, the kinetic energy is stored, and the wheel rotates for several minutes, allowing him to shape the clay.
It was 7:00 a.m. and still pitch dark in Hurricane when I set off for Las Vegas. Of course, that meant that I arrived in Vegas too early to check into my hotel--the Artisan Hotel.
Let's just say that it is unique; festooned with fake art, which gave the room a remarkable sense of class even though it was only 50 feet from the interstate. The room though was small, did not having any grounded electric plugs for recharging electronics outside the bathroom, and both beds had valleys deeper than the Dead Sea.

Ever heard of Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis bacteria?
It was named for its discovery in San Francisco for sourdough starters. It's no longer a monopoly of the city with the combination of San Francisco air, water, fog and cool weather. It can now be made outside of the Bay Area, and ironically was hammered home when "The La Brea Bakery" of Los Angeles bread was voted the best San Francisco sourdough bread by the food editors of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Ironic, isn't it? But I will always associate the San Francisco sourdough with the more famous city and particularly from Boudin Bakery at Fisherman's Wharf, even if I live in L.A. and also, even if I love the La Brea Bakery.
Oh by the way, these little artisan seasonal sourdough were a gift from my friend Anna in San Francsico.
these macarons are filled with a lavender flavoured ganache. the lavender ganache is ephemeral and musky but not too overpowering. it adds a delicate floral note to the macaron and pairs well with the dark chocolate i'm using.
