A Proud Father

Today here in Tokyo I took that train to the airport to greet my three associates coming in from Germany, and the down time finally allowed me to finish editing our pictures from our family trip to San Francisco last month. So... I'm finally continuing my San Francisco posting from last month.

The previous posting covered the first day that we went in to "the city," for which I was able to join the family. The second day we went in to the city, my trade show had sort of started (it technically started the following day, but I had setup and meetings to attend to), so I couldn't join them during the day. So I handed my camera over to my son and he took over picture duties for the day. I must say, CHRISTOPHER MADE ME SO PROUD!!! Like a complete photography geek, I like to "frame" things when I shoot, and just LOOK at this awesome picture here, and how Christopher "framed" the cityscape with a tree in the foreground!!! :-) This picture was taken from Alcatraz Island.

So... I've trained Christopher pretty well in being all geeky and framing pictures that he shoots, but apparently I forgot to train him to put PEOPLE in the pictures. I've uploaded 87 pictures that he took that day, and even though there isn't much of our family to be seen in them, they're still fun memories for us whom were there that day. :-)

After driving in to the city from Susan & Eric's house, the family dropped me off to work, and they went off to play. The biggest part of the day was touring Alcatraz - I've never been out there, so I'm sorry I missed it. But then later that afternoon I was able to join up with them for dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe at Pier 39, and then we all went to see Wicked. It was... well... WICKED!!! Seriously, it was so good!!! What an amazing show!!!

Enjoy the pics on Flickr and on Facebook (in two albums there; three and four).
