Jessica and I met up with Jeannette, Yvan and Tien in Long Island City, Queens. Last year when we went to LIC Jeannette and Yvan’s new condo was still being built and they still lived in DUMBO, Brooklyn. This year the new condo was finished and they’re finally all moved in. They’ve still got some unpacking to do, but the place looks great. Happy they’re finally settled in.
Just like last year we had brunch at Tournesol, a French restaurant. Tien and Yvan both have Canon cameras and they brought along some of their toys so I could play. These photos at Tournesol were taken with Tien’s Canon EF 50mm f1.4. Yvan just told me today that this lens is on sale at Amazon and I’m really thinking about getting it. I was finding it difficult to use for certain things, but the portraits were turning out so great that it makes me want to learn to work with the lens. Also, it’s a fixed length (no zoom) and I’d like to get one of those. I want to take a photography class and a fixed lens is always recommended for that. Tien said it’s because when you’re not messing with the zoom and stuff like that it makes you learn your camera better and it also teaches you about composition.

[...] On Sunday we had brunch at Cafe Henri. This is my bowl mug(?) of latte. We loved all the food. I had Le Croque Madame, an open-faced egg sandwich the ham near the country bread and with the cheese nice and toasted and an egg on the top. On the side was a salad. We liked everything we had so much and wanted to try so many other things on the menu that we joked about coming back for every meal, or at least for brunch the next day too.. but sadly we didn’t. I do think we’ve broken the Tournesol habit though (see here and here). [...]
