Gabe Ritter X Jen Pak
There's that X... for collaborations. Does it apply to marriage? I suppose so. That's Gabe Ritter and Jen Pak. Gabe's written a bunch of articles for Giant Robot beginning with Ai Yamaguchi cover and interview. They've been dating since high school, and it's a very rare occurrence that they're going strong nearly a decade later. We were at Koehler winery in Los Olivos, CA. It's a nice looking place, and if you look at the next photos in the upper left, you can see an expanse of grape vines, almost as far as you can see. 
That's Ai Yamaguchi and Shingo Hayashi and Rei. He's 2 1/2 years old and like to take arty photos. Look at those curls!
Cupcakes taken to a new level.
That's Gabe. We knew him when he was a kid, but he's grown up now.
Can't stop taking pics of food, sorry. The beef which was grilled onsite (you could see them grilling) was good. Potatoes rocked, chicken got a bit firm, and the beans were smokin'! Definitely a good meal and a pleasant wedding, especially when it began to cool down. Weddings are tough, I guess I can't say I'm into them, but seeing people happy in their maybe once in a lifetime day is alright.

The 'X' only applies if they have a limited edition baby
rei is so cute. i want to see the photos he took with that ginormous camera.
signore edittore!
please NEVER apologize for all of your mighty food shots and entries. they are like the essential art clues in a sherlock holmes story telling how everyone is living. and they are part of what makes Giant Robot the enormously powerful cultural machine it has become, DOMINATING ALL OTHERS.
the cupcake wedding cake is very now. the dinner looked quite splendid, a cut above, so to speak! that squash looked quite special, also. were the filled with garlic and butter? these are matters worth dwelling over. i am sorry about the chicken, however.
in any case, thank you for photographing a delicious meal.
dining vicariously,

Long live Gabe and Jen!
nice cupcakes. i'm sorry to ask this, i was googling about ai yamaguchi and your blog was refering her, do you know if she has a personal website or any website where i can take a look at her art? i was told by a friend to check her out, but all the images i find online are little thumbs lol and not much more info besides exhibitions and such.
