I love garlic...

This will be a short post, since I have to edit all of the shots from the soccer game and bar gig shoots this week. In addition the first family I shot portraits for ordered their prints this week, so I need to finish their post processing as well.

Today's picture came courtesy of dinner preparation. My family is entirely made up of garlic lovers, and tonight I was skinning some garlic that had just begun to sprout. I sliced off the top and bottom, and saw this:



Yeah, I love garlic :)

I (Heart) Chocolate

Day 42, and it's almost Valentine's day. Thus, the stores are packed with candy and knicknacks in a million shades of red. Naturally, a young man's thoughts wander to the various ways he can attempt not to disappoint his wife this year.

A secret Valentine project has begun, but I dare not speak of it here, since my good lady wife reads this blog. Instead, I shall throw out another Valentine's inspired photo, courtesy of the candy that was purchased for my Daughter's pre-school class:



Is there anything that says Valentine's Day more than a heart made of hearts that are made of chocolate and are also suckers? I do not think so.
