I was off today (!) and looking for walking shoes at Uyeda Shoe Store (more about that later) when I received a call from Nadine at the Sake Shop. She asked if I could drop by sometime this week to take some photos for her for something (I forget what). I only had my wide-angle 16-35mm lens with me which isn't the sharpest or the fastest lens for the job, but hey I was free, so I told her I'd be right over and I'd give it a try. The low light in her shop is a challenge, but challenges are what makes photography sooooo gratifying. Not sure if she's gonna like my pictures, but I can always return with my faster, sharper lens, and no excuses then!
AHAHAHAHA!! Susie, I know you don't drink 'cause you tell me that all the time, but you should go check out the pretty bottles next time you're at King!
Well, from someone that knows absolutely nothing about taking perfect pictures, these are fantastic. I love the shapes and colors of the bottles. Great job, as always!!

Very, very nice, great sake shots! Did she give you that giant bottle of sake? So, where is the free sake?
Hahahaha. Nadine gave me a Junmai Ginjyo! It has a really pretty wrapping.
