These are pictures from Carolyn's birthday dinner at Buca di Beppo, a wacky restaurant in Palo Alto. You'll note that I was playing with my camera's black and white mode. I'm actually kinda impressed by some of the pictures.

cbday - Most of us outside the restaurant. From left to right: Laura, Alan, Trish, Chris, Nat, Carolyn, and Peter.
cbday - A shot of the store front. Very festive.
cbday - The first of the black and whites. It's a statue's foot.
cbday - Another B&W shot of the statue. This one is better IMHO.
cbday - I really liked that statue. Some cobwebs on it.
cbday - OK back to color. The room we were in was covered with wine bottles. Unfortunately, as far as we could tell, they were all empty.
cbday - Some people at the table. Trish, Chris, Carolyn, Peter, and Alan.
cbday - More table shots. Nat, Trish, Chris, Carolyn, Peter, Alan's arm.
cbday - Whoops, here's the B&W again. I thought these condiments on the table looked cool.
cbday - Kim points out an interesting menu choice.
cbday - My lemonade and a fork.
cbday - Still life with two glasses of water and a Pepsi.
cbday - OK I think this picture just kicks a lot of butt. Trish and Chris in B&W. It's interesting because I took the picture without a flash, but at the exact same time I took mine, Peter took a picture with a flash. Interesting angle for the light to come from.
cbday - My salad just looked awesome.
cbday - I dunno, I just really liked the mashed potatos and chicken.
cbday - The seafood pasta dealy was pretty good too. 2 lbs!!!
