KFC and Verena in Kyoto
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.

Before the Feast, the Photograph
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.
