One of my favorite aspects of travel is experiencing the culture through food. When I was younger I refused to eat “weird” things (although when I was tiny I ate whatever my parents gave me, including Baulet). This restaurant next to the Molino Stucky Hilton presented us with this mixed appetizer dish. Here’s a video [...]
I’m currently in Venice, Italy. My Italian has come back to me, although I’ve been mixing masculine/feminine nouns and using the wrong endings. I studied Italian for 2 years and lived here for 8 months so it’s frustrating to hear myself mess up. I had almost forgotten how beautiful the language sounds. It’s very musical. [...]
A trip through CES on Youtube This is a little bit of everything we did at CES. I was shooting with a Canon 960is which I borrowed from a friend. I have since purchased and received it just in time for Mexico. (Yep, I’m currently in Mexico.) The touch screen at the Intel booth was [...]
Last Wednesday I was lucky enough to join Virgin America on their inaugural flight from San Francisco to Orange County. Check out this video for some highlights including spray tanning, makeovers, and Branson’s little kissy for Justine. They were serving Veev açaí spirit for almost 12 hours, from the gateway at the airport, on the [...]
After many years of living in San Francisco, I finally had the chance to explore Japantown. One of the bookstores had a display of mystery toys. Each box contained 1 of a series of toys. The naked baby series was just too creepy to pass up. Naked baby on youtube I love Japanese tchotchke. Lately [...]
I was chatting with a djsteen last night, who had the misfortune of eating at Chevy’s for dinner. There’s nothing wrong with Chevys and it’s easy to make the mistake since it is right next to Moscone South and they have commercials on TV. However, there are a lot of yum yum places to eat [...]
Inspired by edrabbit I decided to compose a list of cities I’ve been to in the past year. Photos above link to past trips. Pics or it didn’t happen, right? * for staying at least 1 night + for going more than once New York*+, NY Easton*, ME New Brunswick, Canada Boston*/Cambridge*+, MA (soooo sad [...]
Austin… what can I say? It was really weird. The story for Austin is full of silliness and definitely worth checking out. Watch episode 1 to get a taste of the absurdity: Lost in America-Austin:cookies! (ep1) from Karen on Vimeo. The other episodes are on my vimeo channel and a behind the scenes post about [...]
For the last few months Justine and I have been running around together shooting videos for At&t. The videos for our Anchorage trip are finally up. I’ve posted episode 2 below. Lost in America – Hot Dog/Cold dog (ep2) from Karen on Vimeo. Gotta say, I love video quality preservation on Vimeo. You can watch [...]
I’m currently in Chicago filming our last installment of the At&t series. I absolutely love Chicago and I’m really glad to be back here. One of the first things we did was to take an architecture boat tour. It was fantastic. Check out this video I made while we were on the boat: I am [...]
