Each week, we get a box of seasonal fruits and vegetables that taste so fresh and delicious. The box has introduced us to lots of new vegetables, forcing us to learn how to cook with new ingredients including romanesco, rapini, kale, chard and turnips. If you're in the Bay Area, I definitely recommend this - not only do you end up eating more veggies, but you're supporting a local organic farm! <br /><img src="http://alisonyin.com/blog_posts/10/02Feb/ADM-Veg--01.jpg" border="0"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><div><script type="text/javascript">addthis_url='dailydoublea.blogspot.com'; addthis_title='Daily Double A'; addthis_pub='admgolub';</script><script src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/addthis_widget.php?v=12" type="text/javascript"></script></div></div>Adm Golubhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13684422016533856675noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524415082589584590.post-28706778886631567272010-02-15T10:57:00.000-08:002010-02-15T11:03:58.918-08:00Happy Chinese New Year!In the spirit of Chinese New Year, here are some photos from a celebration at the Senior Center in Modesto.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.alisonyin.com/blog_posts/10/02Feb/AY-Chinese-NY-2.jpg" border="0"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.alisonyin.com/blog_posts/10/02Feb/AY-Chinese-NY-3.jpg" border="0"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.alisonyin.com/blog_posts/10/02Feb/AY-Chinese-NY-1.jpg" border="0"><br /><br />Photo by Alison Yin for <a href="http://www.modbee.com">the Modesto Bee</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><div><script type="text/javascript">addthis_url='dailydoublea.blogspot.com'; addthis_title='Daily Double A'; addthis_pub='admgolub';</script><script src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/addthis_widget.php?v=12" type="text/javascript"></script></div></div>Alison Yinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16023891058807173921noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524415082589584590.post-65911562515439359622010-02-09T13:00:00.000-08:002010-02-09T13:00:00.856-08:00Turkey!!!<img src="http://alisonyin.com/blog_posts/10/02Feb/ADM-turk-01.jpg" border="0" ><br />While I was scouting for another shoot I saw some wild turkeys.

Bill made a bed with side table for a client so we took it to the parking lot behind his studio to photograph them in Altadena. Although the backdrop gave a nice industrial look, it was pretty cluttered so we had to figure out how to keep the light off of the back drop while overpowering the sun and highlighting the wood. Additionally, it was no easy feat moving the bed around since it was pretty heavy, and we had to be careful to not damage it.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.alisonyin.com/blog_posts/10/01Jan/Stranger_Bed_24.jpg" border="0"><br /><br />Details (Bill always inscribes his work):<br /><br /><center><img src="http://www.alisonyin.com/blog_posts/10/01Jan/Stranger_Bed_17.jpg" border="0"></center><br /><br /><center><img src="http://www.alisonyin.com/blog_posts/10/01Jan/Stranger_Bed_18.jpg" border="0"></center><br /><br /><img src="http://www.alisonyin.com/blog_posts/10/01Jan/Stranger_Bed_15.jpg" border="0"><br /><br /><center><img src="http://www.alisonyin.com/blog_posts/10/01Jan/Stranger_Bed_26.jpg" border="0"></center><br /><br />Photos by Alison Yin and Adm Golub<div class="blogger-post-footer"><div><script type="text/javascript">addthis_url='dailydoublea.blogspot.com'; addthis_title='Daily Double A'; addthis_pub='admgolub';</script><script src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/addthis_widget.php?v=12" type="text/javascript"></script></div></div>Alison Yinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16023891058807173921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524415082589584590.post-49121816831900776422010-01-22T13:01:00.000-08:002010-01-22T13:01:00.748-08:00New Dreams<img src="http://alisonyin.com/blog_posts/10/01Jan/ADM-stuff-01.jpg" border="0"><br />I added these two new images to my dreams porfolio on my website.

Parent, a stellar student, received conditional acceptance to San Jose State University, his first choice school, yet after accidentally marking the wrong major on his online application, he was told he'd have to postpone starting school until the following semester. Instead of putting his plans on hold, Parent was luckily able to transfer to UCSC in time to start for the Fall 2009 semester. Because of California's budget crisis, state schools, such as San Jose State U., have started finding any kind of loophole in students' applications/admissions processes so that they have some justification for putting their admission on hold. Simply put, there are too many students at a time when schools are cutting classes and faculty so students are being told to postpone their higher education plans indefinitely.<br /><br /><center><img src="http://www.alisonyin.com/blog_posts/09/11_Nov/Picture-7.jpg" border="0"></center><br /><br /><img src="http://www.alisonyin.com/blog_posts/09/11_Nov/Jacob_Parent03.jpg" border="0"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.alisonyin.com/blog_posts/09/11_Nov/Jacob_Parent04.jpg" border="0"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.alisonyin.com/blog_posts/09/11_Nov/Jacob_Parent13.jpg" border="0"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><div><script type="text/javascript">addthis_url='dailydoublea.blogspot.com'; addthis_title='Daily Double A'; addthis_pub='admgolub';</script><script src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/addthis_widget.php?v=12" type="text/javascript"></script></div></div>Alison Yinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16023891058807173921noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524415082589584590.post-66344061244965650082009-11-01T16:41:00.000-08:002009-11-01T16:54:36.692-08:00A Mostly Steampunk Halloween<center><img src="http://alisonyin.com/blog_posts/09/11_Nov/ADM-steampunk-01.jpg" border="0"></center><br />Alison and I went to a Steampunk Halloween Party at our friend's house in Modesto.

We wanted to create a nice and personal space where we would feel comfortable with friends and family, but one that also allowed us to meet with people on a professional level. <br /><br />To create the room, we started with the rug to give us the color palette, which was Alison's mom's idea - her mom helped create a design plan for the room. Then we chose colors for the walls and ceiling to match the rug (swiss coffee for the ceiling, whispering wheat for three walls, and terracotta red for the accent wall). Next, we painted a couple of salvaged tables to pull out the blues from the rug. We also had silk drapes made to not only help with insulation, but also give the place a little more of a "homey" feel. The furniture is a combo of thrift stores, <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com">Anthropologie</a>, <a href="http://www.cb2.com">CB2</a>, <a href="http://www.shopattherapy.com">Therapy</a>, and <a href="http://www.ikea.com">Ikea</a>. We're still short one coffee table (which a friend is making), and wall art. <br /><br /><center><img src="http://alisonyin.com/blog_posts/09/10_Oct/ADM-Drapes-02.jpg" border="0"></center><br /><img src="http://alisonyin.com/blog_posts/09/10_Oct/ADM-Drapes-03.jpg" border="0"><br /><img src="http://alisonyin.com/blog_posts/09/10_Oct/ADM-Drapes-04.jpg" border="0"><br />Photos by Adm Golub<div class="blogger-post-footer"><div><script type="text/javascript">addthis_url='dailydoublea.blogspot.com'; addthis_title='Daily Double A'; addthis_pub='admgolub';</script><script src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/addthis_widget.php?v=12" type="text/javascript"></script></div></div>Adm Golubhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13684422016533856675noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524415082589584590.post-40071747101000738862009-10-12T11:15:00.000-07:002009-10-12T11:34:20.960-07:00Nikki Kellogg<img src="http://www.alisonyin.com/blog_posts/09/10_Oct/Nikki_028bw.jpg" border="0"><br /><br />About a month ago, I was approached to put together an aspiring dancer's portfolio. Nikki Kellogg, 22, is planning to move to L.A. to audition and make a push for being a dancer, and she said she needed a portfolio to show around. This was an entirely new project for me, and we spent quite a bit of time planning our shoots and what kind of photos she wanted to showcase her looks and talent. We did a combination of "studio-esque" shots with dancing in the street and more traditional head shots. Nikki was really wonderful to work with, which made my job a whole lot easier. Here are just a few of the photos that we made prints of for her final portfolio.

Well, he is great. He is able to do just about everything now except step on the break, and he didn't do that before. Having both of his knees replaced was hard on him, but he has bounced back and has even been spotted walking around Noah's in Modesto by himself. This picture was taken at Kiaser in Modesto the day after he had his surgery. He was in a lot of pain when this was taken, and the doctors were still having to give him blood. He told me during this visit that he was going to be ready to photograph this coming season. It looks like he might be right. He wont be able to kneel by then, but there are places he can stand and shoot from at the Raiders and the 49ers. The Old Guy still has it... Way to go Dad.<p>Photos by Adm Golub<div class="blogger-post-footer"><div><script type="text/javascript">addthis_url='dailydoublea.blogspot.com'; addthis_title='Daily Double A'; addthis_pub='admgolub';</script><script src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/addthis_widget.php?v=12" type="text/javascript"></script></div></div>Adm Golubhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13684422016533856675noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524415082589584590.post-59156855443524209972009-07-15T09:36:00.000-07:002009-07-15T10:07:34.049-07:00Ice Cube, Hot Night<img src="http://alisonyin.com/blog_posts/09/07_Jul/Summerfest-02.jpg" border="0"><br />It was a very hot day when I picked up my assignment for the Ice Cube concert on 10th Street in Modesto for the Bee. I was excited for the challenge and decided to shoot without a flash - no safety net. I practiced during the warm up acts, but my D300 made it almost too easy. I kept waiting for the night air to cool, but when Ice Cube took the stage at 12:45am, it was still in the high 80s. After having been kicked out of the camera pit, all of us photographers had to work our way back into the back stage area, and then back into our positions. I only had about 15 Minutes to shoot since I couldn't burn too many overtime hours, and at the last second, Ice Cube's manager let me go on stage just before Cube threw up a "W" for the West Coast and the crowd went nuts.
