Work in progess

Posted on August 5, 2008

The blog may be showing some crazy stuff these days… it’s only because I’m working on it and to save time I do all the testing online. So if you see anything out of the ordinary, don’t worry, everything is going to get back to normal soon with just some additions.

In the mean time, we are also working on my website, www.kdphotos.com. New design and a lot of fun, fresh pictures coming up soon. I’m looking to complete all the updates and upgrades in less than 2 weeks… time in which this blog or Photolicious may face starvation. As I said, all is gonna get back to normal afterwards.

Tonight is strawberry risotto night… and I’m looking forward to dinner :)

Our new neighbour

Posted on August 2, 2008

He (or she) came to pay us a visit in the backyard yesterday… I couldn’t resist taking a couple of snaps.

He was so friendly… even let me lift him up

Of course, Filippo was not so happy that some other cat invaded his territory… but this little guy was so cute and when Filippo came inside the house he so insisted coming in too. We felt so bad about leaving him outside (we left some food for him though) but we really cannot afford to make the king of the house (aka Filippo) angry.

Some days

Posted on July 28, 2008

Some days are just like this… stuff happen.

I’ve been a bit absent from either this blog or Photolicious (which I just updated with a new pic, by the way!! go check it out and leave some love) lately but here’s the thing: after a month long visit, the in-laws got on a plane today, and back to Italy. They were a big help around the house, but somehow I couldn’t concentrate on my work very well. From today everything’s back to normal… the good and the bad things.

This is gonna be a very lazy evening: the two of us, the sofa, a nice movie and some snacks. I’ll come back tomorrow to blog some pictures I took during Saturday’s bbq lunch. Stay tuned!!!

Internationally speaking

Posted on July 3, 2008

I just had a conversation with a virtual friend of mine (we never had the chance to meet although we’ve know each other over the internet since almost 10 years now, back when ICQ had just started out and I was a young computer geek teenager); He’s in Italy, about to dine in Turin… and was asking me about the italian dishes on the menu. At last, I did, apparently, help him decide what to order for dinner.

Rajeev says (12:33 PM): small world. An indian from uk is asking for italian food help from an albanian in usa

Talking about food, I love taking pictures of what I eat, although I don’t do it often.
** Once Markino was determined to photograph every creation of his coming out of the kitchen and I think he even started with a couple of pictures but then gave up… I’m trying to convince him to take it seriously.**
Getting back to my food photography. I’ve decided to start taking pictures when we dine out in fine restaurants because the plates look soooo good apart from tasting delicious of course. You already saw some pictures I took at a restaurant in Carmel, a couple of weekends ago.
Last weekend we were lunching in San Francisco, at the Steps of Rome. I know, it’s a place for tourists, located in what’s left of Little Italy… But we like the guys (all italian) that run the place and the food is good!

This was my grilled shrimp & calamari on a bed of mushrooms and some green stuff which I don’t eat because it’s too healthy :P
