Coachella Chamber of Commerce Mixer

Last night I decided to stop by Fantasy Springs Casino's new lounge, The Penthouse to join in on the Coachella Chamber of Commerce monthly mixer.  I always enjoy meeting new people and it's a great way to network.  Here is a small sample of photos I took while I was there.

Delicious!

Last week my lovely fiance and our friend Kate Franco got together at my place to whip up their first attempt at Paella.  A flavorful Spanish dish with mussels, shrimp and plenty of seasoning mixed up with rice.  It was perfect and while you can't taste it here, you can see the flavors.  Don't be jealous!

Happy New Year!

This is a photo I took in December of 2008 of the San Jacinto Mountains which are north west of Palm Springs.  I'm pretty sure I took this with the camera mounted on a tripod that I set up in the bed of my pickup truck.  Exposure was 1/320 at f/11, ISO 100 at 80mm.  I did some minor exposure adjustments in Lightroom .  One of the pleasures I have in living in Palm Springs is that when it snows, we can get beautiful scenery such as this and still enjoy comfortable winter temperatures of 60 degrees.  We haven't seen anything like this so far this winter season but it's still early.  Happy New Year to you and may it be a prosperous one.
