just a couple photos… got a bunch more in the queue. It’s amazing how far behind you get when you start a month behind and then lose the use of your laptop for a week and a half. But enough excuses. I’m working on a bunch of things… couple photo shoots coming up hopefully, coding some interesting side projects. I have to wonder: is the extra mental energy spent on coding a drain on my photography? I think it is. If nothing else, there’s only so much time in a day. I don’t sleep much. Oh well. That’s what the coffee obsession is for.
Speaking of, this was a really enlightening day. It was down at Elemental’s new Alley Bar, which is, as I’ve written before, pretty amazing. I learned a lot about espresso blending and what exactly goes into it. A lot of coffee was drank. One blend had the distinct flavor of peanut shells, I’ll never forget it. But the real blend, what we came out with, was amazing. Lots of complexity and goodness. I wish more coffee shops in town used Elemental. Actually, scratch that: I wish less shops in town used Neighbors. I wish some of them would actually taste good coffee and think about what they’re serving. </rant> Anyway, this was a pleasure. They’re open limited hours in the mornings right now, but totally worth getting up a little early to get to.
