Y2 Photography: June 2009

Ross Whitaker Trio at Al's Bar, Lexington, KY

Chris has just started a remote recording business focusing on live performances. Hopefully, he can offer photography as a part of his recording packages in the future.

Recording

Chris jammed with the band for a couple songs. This is during one of his drum solos.

Ross in deep thought

Then the shutter of the camera woke him up so he smiled for the camera

The lobby of Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art

We were chatting with volunteers of the museum and realized that this building occupies a relatively small plot of land but the design by Zaha Hadid gave it the open spacious illusion.

Photography isn't allowed except in the lobby so to learn more about the artwork in exhibit, please see http://www.contemporaryartscenter.org/

The Book Loft of German Village

This book store is like a maze with 32 rooms of books!

We stopped at The Schmidt's Sausage Haus for lunch. It was raining but I didn't have a picture of the restaurant yet so I made Chris hold an umbrella over my camera for one shot.

We were on our way to FallingWater when we hear gushing waterfall of Ohiopyle and decided to stopped by to check it out.

We have been wanting to see the Falling Water House by Frank Lloyd Wright for some time but never got the chance to stop by until recently. If you are interested to learn more, the link and a description from the website below.http://www.fallingwater.org/

Fallingwater is the name of a very special house that is built over a waterfall. Frank Lloyd Wright, America’s most famous architect, designed the house for his clients, the Kaufmann family. Fallingwater was built between 1936 and 1939. It instantly became famous, and today it is a National Historic Landmark.

I'm thinking this can be edited into an album cover one day

San Francisco in April 2009

We flew red-eye so we just woke up when we saw this spectacular view out the window.

The first thing we did once we got in to San Francisco...coffee

We were having brunch at this French restaurant by Washington Square Park when we saw this lady enjoying her brunch. I couldn't resist but to take a picture of her.

Many thanks to Torsten and Mads (on violin here) for getting us tickets to SFJazz's "Beats, Bows & Brass: A hip-hop symphony" (which is already sold out). Full House. And the audience was dancing toward the end!
