the hubs and i just returned from a trip to san francisco to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. i’m notoriously bad at taking personal pictures… i tend to want to just enjoy the experience rather than focus on capturing images of it. on this trip, my camera sat in the hotel room about half of the time, and i carried it the other half but only snapped the shutter a handful of times.

one of the highlights was lunch at tyler florence’s new restaurant, wayfare tavern. it’s new and pretty and out of the norm for us, so i did document this hour of our trip quite well. the food was delicious, we got special seats at the chef’s counter (overlooking the kitchen) and tyler was right there… finishing plates and talking with his staff.

the restaurant is in the financial district, around the corner from the transamerica tower:

i don’t claim to be a food photographer, but this food was so pretty that it was easy!

the view from our seats… it was really cool to watch the cooks in this tiny kitchen make everything with such care.
