Three Days in Berkeley

I flew out to Berkeley to photograph Ms. Waters. Weather disrupted my flight, and I ended up travelling all day. In addition, the airlines misplaced my luggage (both there and back). But it was all worth it to spend several days with good friends, and to meet an icon. Here is Doug in the hotel.
Adam
Adam and I drove up on one day to the Berkeley hills and enjoyed the fog and rain.
We did a bit of searching for the right light. Some pictures were made indoors and out. I'm looking forward to seeing them all. I only made a few images with the smaller camera, mostly of Adam in the light. Most of the time i was busy trying to make things work with the 8x10 camera. Having Adam there was so great- I'd talk with Alice, compose, and then say "ready" and Adam would take a reading, stop down the lens, and hand me the film.
We were rewarded with amazing food- oysters, fresh salad with baked goat cheese, braised pork, rabbit, pasta with pesto.

Pear gelato with pomegranite and almond tuiles.
