for our 13th. wedding anniversary, howie and i went to our favorite portland restaurant for dinner, followed by a sinful chocolate espresso dessert drink at grace -- an old catholic church converted artfully and meticulously into a fine dining restaurant. we walked into the grand space and i gasped at the most amazing transformation.
the environment was welcoming and warm, with a jazz trio playing this classic.
we admired large scale paintings hung throughout the space by contemporary, mixed-media artist Traeger di Pietro.
and I handled with the utmost of care an incredible gift from my sweet, thoughtful, generous, out of this world husband. its range allows for wide angle capability (which i heart), as well as being perfect for portrait photography -- i can zoom in close without getting right in the subject's face.
you could say i am majorly spoiled. i would not disagree in this case.
