DSC_1966 PS  DSC_2012Went to the Goldcoast train museum in Miami Saturday. It usually closes at 4:00, but a couple times a month they open it up from 4:00 to 7:00 for photographers to take pcitures. These are a few I liked best.

Woke up at 3:00 in the morning, and noticed that a fog had rolled in. From our 28th floor balcony, we were above the tops of the clouds. So took these pictures of the Miami downtown skyline.

Bar Louie

New Martini bar, Bar Louie opened in Midtown Miami. From 11-12 until 11-18, from 6:00 to 9:00 you get one free appetizer, and all the martinis you can drink. Went there tonight, the place was packed, the menu looked really great. I guess we’ll have to go there thru Sunday just to sample all the appetizers.


Tried this recipe I saw online this weekend. Bought a fresh pineapple and sliced four slices, then cut them in three pieces each. Took three jalapenos and 2 serranos hot peppers. Grilled them all together, then put them in a small tupperware container. Poured a couple cups of tequila, I used a Camarena Reposado, then let it marinate in the refrigerator for three days. The tequila turned an amber color. Poured it through a strainer, and now I have a tequila with a sweet/hot taste. Very smooth. Really good. Bonus, the slices of pineapple soaked up the tequila, and are like a shot in every bite. Sweet!!!

Isla Mujeres – Just got back from a 5 day stay. What a great place to get away from it all. Fresh seafood in abundance, Coronas around $1.90 each. Ocean Breezes and sany beaches. Snorkling, scuba diving, fishing, sailing, etc. etc. I’m ready to move there today. Gots to go back.

Hong Kong Harbor HDR

Hong Kong Harbor HDR

Hong Kong Harbor. I am trying HDR, High Dynamic Range imagery. This is my first attempt, Hong Kong harbor taken in July 2011. Since I have the benefit of living in Miami, I am going to start taking lots of pics here to practice with. I ordered Photomatix Pro, which is supposed to be the thing for HDR photos. Can’t wait to get it installed and start creating.
