burgh with an H

on my way to brazil last year for christmas/new years eve, the airline screwed up and gave me a free flight ticket anywhere in the states. i decided to visit my old college buddy in pittsburgh. while we were in college, ben and i would always find new places to eat or just find a place to explore. i love hanging out with him because he shows me new things, and i document them with my camera.

i took two cameras with me for the trip:
my "everyday" camera (or as i would like to call it, "my third hand") the Canon PowerShot SD1000 and the school's Mamiya 645AFD II. since the Mamiya's speed is slow and heavy, i work a lot with the elf camera for trips because it's small, easy to carry, and you can shoot practically anything at any time.

he first took me to a malaysian restaurant for dinner. here's a shot of the menu:


the next morning he took me to a vegetarian breakfast burrito place:

we were invited to a bbq and i took a shot of the beer cooler, inspired by our color assignment a few weeks back:
