Crosby Coffee in Brooklyn

Crossing off my to-do list, one coffee shop at a time. One warm weekend in November, I went up to NYC and dragged Hyeri to an obscure area in Brooklyn that even she had never been to (in my book, Hyeri knows all the cool/cute places around New York). Not gonna lie, it got pretty scary when we almost got lost but thanks to Google Map, we were able to find this small/quaint little place in the most unexpected corner of this street. I loved the quiet and chill atmosphere, and coffee was excellent. And of course, all white interior, including all the furnitures and walls, with the huge window that softened the light everywhere, made everything so photogenic.

Pearl Dive Oyster Palace

When P.Lu came to visit at the end of November, checking out the much acclaimed Pearl Dive Oyster Palace was among many adventures of the breezy Sunday afternoon. We sat at the bar, slurped some oysters, tried out some cocktails, and just kept snapping pics. No shame.

I think this may have been my second (ever) roll with the Minolta. Currently loving it so far.

Katy + Daniel: seattle reception

Congratulations to Taeyoung (Katy) and Daniel Park! Taeyoung and Daniel had their actual wedding in Seoul, but also had a small reception for friends who couldn't make it over to Korea in October. I've known Taeyoung since freshman year of college - she was actually one of the first people I met when I started my journey at UT. I'd say she hasn't changed much since then - her slow eating habits, her gentleness in handling things, and her attention to detail in everything she does. She basically handmade all the props and signs for the wedding, which was freaking impressive. Congrats again, guys! I'm most certain that you guys will make beautiful bebes.

Annapolis!

My, my. This post is way overdue. I don't even exactly remember when this day trip happened - I think it was sometime in late October. Some friends from work and I had been dying to go visit, so we set a day to go explore the tiny harbor town! The weather was absolutely perfect - it was sunny with some cool breeze, and lots of fall colors.

Excuse some of the grainy + underexposed photos. This was my first time trying out the Minolta X-700 with a cheap roll of film I bought. Most of it all turned out fine except Walgreens sort of messed up processing the film a bit so you'll see dark streaks on the photos everywhere.

And here are some iPhone shots:

Also. We finally satisfied all of our crab cake + seafood crave! These are the beautiful people I have the privilege to work with every single day.

So yes, that 45 minute drive is totally worth it. We also caught a glimpse of all the craze for the Navy vs Pittsburgh game that was causing some MAD traffic congestion.
