I spent some time yesterday afternoon taking headshots of my friend Heather and her business partner Kala, for their new home bakery business, the Night Kitchen. It’s interesting, trying to get natural shots of people who are very conscious of your camera. I think I got some winners. When their website goes up, I will…

dim sum
dim sum, originally uploaded by minervacat. I sort of miss taking pictures of my food, in a masochistic self-flagellating habit-forming way, so I made my mama and my aunt suffer while I took pictures of our dim sum lunch on Saturday. I left the camera at home Sunday night when we were eating tapas or…

permanent view, originally uploaded by minervacat. I decided I wanted to start 2010 with a clean iTunes slate, so this week I put my epic Drive-By Truckers re-listen on hold to frantically plow through everything that was built up in my various unplayed and/or unrated playlists.

it’s good to eat green things
it’s good to eat green things, originally uploaded by minervacat. My current favorite dinner recipe: Chicken Cashew Asparagus Stir-Fry. Faaaaaantastic. Although last night my preparation of it started out with a grease fire. No chickens or asparaguses or cashews were lost, but a really good pan might have been. This is why I’m not allowed…
green #26
green #26, originally uploaded by minervacat. A couple of uninspired, flat shooting days since Saturday night. Partially the weather — too hot Sunday to bother much with shooting the baseball game — and partially the drag of job hunting and trying to keep my mood up as I job hunt. But this cupcake was delicious,…
