When it rains it pours. I hadn't had someone visit from The States for three years, and this week I'm enjoying two visits, my Aunt Jeannette as I noted yesterday, and separately, an old colleague from Yahoo! who now lives in Singapore, Kuan-Fu Chang (aka “KFC”), and his wife, also a former Yahoo!, Verena Wee.
I particularly enjoyed how they're both somewhat camera geeks, so I enjoyed taking pictures of them taking pictures.
I'd met them for dinner the other night, bringing along my Sigma 30mm f/1.4 for the low light, watching as they photographed the various dishes as they arrived. In the shot below, it's a tomato dish, with scallions and grated daikon, and was quite good.
Today we walked around my place, visiting the gardens of Murin'an, the Nanzen Temple, and the Shogunzuka hilltop overlooking Kyoto.

This would look great as a slideshow with wacky background music.
Thanks heaps for showing us around, Jeffrey. We had an awesome time!
The photos that made the cut can be seen here.
Think I might get a dslr after all 🙂
Thanks much Jeffrey! 🙂 You and Anthony were our highlights in Kyoto.
These are my photos that made the cut. There’s also a short clip I made from some of the photos in that set about you making a bowl of noodles for Anthony.
It’s a pity that KFC’s noodle clip isn’t available anymore. 🙂
