Weekend in Pictures: Shots From a Cell Phone

It’s not often that I forget my camera.  Unfortunately when I do, it’s usually during an occasion worth capturing.  We attended a friend’s wedding at a beautiful location that surprisingly never occurred to me could be used as a wedding venue:  The Karl Strauss Brewery & Gardens.  It was a gorgeous day and the backdrop was spectacular.  If I had my camera, you would be able to see that in living color.  Also, if I had a camera with a proper flash, I could have taken a few of the beautiful couple.  But alas, I had to use my cell phone camera and my husband’s iPhone.  We still managed to get a few shots, and I took this opportunity to use the “Shake It!” app on the iPhone, which produces pictures that look as if they were taken by an old school Polaroid camera.  It’s a fun feature because you can “shake” the phone to make the picture appear.

Our little boy was on his best behavior, impressing everyone at our table with his use of utensils (we have a travel set that we bring everywhere).  The guests were also digging on his look, which I guess I could describe as country club golfer and marvelling at the fact that he is only 2 years-old.  One guest even stopped me to say that he should be doing catalog modeling because he is just too cute.  With that little smirk of a smile, we think he’s quite cute, too!
