postcards from san francisco

the workshop took place over two days, four hours each day. i loved the entire process, even the most challenging moments. it pushed me to try new things.

I had the pleasure of capturing some of that PNW essence for the Le family this weekend —Washington natives and UW sweethearts with the sweetest camera lovin’ daughter.

i am the oldest grandchild on my dad's side of the family.  for six years, i was not only an only child, but also an only grandchild. on october 11, 1993 when jeicille was born and i wasn't alone anymore.

oh man, where do i even start with this one? my recent experience at taneda sushi in kaiseki was one of the more special experiences i’ve had.

samara recently opened in our neighborhood. it used to be a video rental store, though you’d never know with the modern, cute interior that’s there now.

archipelago is a filipino inspired restaurant that only serves eight people at a time. it’s an intimate experience with chef aaron verzosa and his wife amber manuguid. they walk you through a journey of dishes inspired by their filipino culture and pacific northwest roots.

Decided to go through a box of photos (aka my SD card) and pull some photos I haven’t had the chance to post. I went to boston + washington d.c. in 2018, so these are a long time coming.

I celebrated my 31st birthday in my favorite place on earth — new york city. birthdays are always a melancholy time for me. yet, the city always continues to surprise and delight me.
