We had the best meal of the entire New Orleans weekend at Cafe Amelie.

From the menu and description we chose Cafe Amelie, knowing that if it didn’t work out the [...]

J: YOU can
K: Good start.
J: Good FINISH.

J: You know that overhead storage shelf I want to get for the garage?
K: Yeah
J: I was thinking… those aren’t that complicated and we have some wire panels left over from the dog kennels. I could probably just make one. All I would need is some…

He’s been really supportive this past year (forever really, but this year especially) as I’ve taken photography classes and obsessively studied and asked questions about lighting and composition and exposure.
