finally got to try the ramen burger. glad i didn't to go yesterday when these were being served in the Torrance area since there was around 1000 people that showed up. at the most, i think there was about 100 people in line in Pasadena, at least that's what they told me when i finally got in the restaurant. so... was it good? yes it was. but it wasn't great. i still thought it was worth waiting for. i enjoy trying new things and this was definitely something new. the idea of a ramen bun isn't really weird to me. the sauce for this burger was also good except for the fact that since it was a ramen bun, so it didn't absorb the sauce which ended up dripping all over the place. i'm hoping that more places will try to make their own versions as i think this could turn out to be a really good thing and i would like to try it again.
Ma The Band must be the house band for the Old Towne Pub, located in the Old Town part of Pasadena. This was the beginning of the 2024 Doo Dah Queen Tryouts, the photos and video frame grabs I shall post later on, a few at a time.
This was taken with my ultra-wide lens on my Samsung smartphone. I shot video mostly on my Canon EOS, but I took the time to get some stills with my phone. I wanted to try some shots that recalled the style of 1960s album covers and '60s rock and roll photos. It used to be quite a thing to see in those days, but once everyone else got their hands on extremely wide lenses for rock and roll photos the novelty wore off quickly. But I thought I'd give it a brief revival, as I was too young to take advantage of photographing rock bands back then.
Shortly after my arrival at the Old Towne Pub in the Old Town part of Pasadena I got stills of the band and their soundboard guy setting their instruments up, ready to have a sound check. I used the ultra-wide lens on my Samsung so I could make the room look a little bigger than it really was. Outside the window behind the lead singer is the private courtyard, where people could go and get some air and still hear the music clearly.
This was all for the 2024 Doo Dah Queen Tryouts, held on October 27.
A lit hall on the upper floor of the Pasadena City Hall. The 14mm wide angle lens gives a distorted view reminiscent of the Beetlejuice movie.
I spent the better part of the day in Pasadena, for the 45th Doo Dah Parade. As was the case with last year, the parade has returned to its original location, over at Old Town Pasadena. This is the staging area, located on Raymond Avenue.
I was getting video to eventually cut together, as I have done in the past, and have them shown on YouTube. That said, I decided to shoot my stills solely on my phone. I was concerned about loading up my memory card, as well as running down both batteries. It turned out neither happened.
I was looking south on Raymond when I got this shot.
Pregnancy portraits like this are just a sample of the beautiful studio portrait work of Pasadena photographer, Linnea Lenkus.
