Day 19 - Dinner Club May 2010 - Project 365

My wife had a great idea to start a dinner club with friends and family members. Basically once a month someone will recommend a local restaurant and we go eat there! Pretty simple ay? We try to choose the small mom and pop shops or the non-chain locations to try. Today we went to the Fire & Spice Grill at the Sheraton in Tempe, AZ. The food was excellent, the service was excellent and the Suns beat the Spurs so even more excellent. We will certainly go back and eat here again. Here is a group shot of our first Dinner Club party!

Day 18 - Westgate Bike Night 2010 - Project 365

Today was a great day! I received my new Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens in the mail. Luckily we made plans to go to the Westgate Thursday Night Bike Night which is hosted once a week until the end of June. Lots of bikers from around the valley go here to strut their stuff. Not only did I strut my Warrior around but I whipped out the new ultra wide angle lens to give it a test drive. I'm so glad I chose this lens. It performed flawlessly in low light conditions. It's sharp as a tack and takes amazing photos. I honestly cannot wait to get some great downtown shots with this bad boy. It's going to be a fun lens and it just opened a new can of worms for me.

Here is one of the very first pictures I took with my new Tokina UWA lens. It's a shot of the bikes at Westgate this evening.
