Happy Birthday Victoria!


Voila, Philadelphia cheesesteak extraordinaire!

This week's theme is people. I used to avoid taking pictures of people but now I like to. It's fun trying to capture them at the right moment.
-To my dear wife Vicki, you are twice as old as you were the first time we celebrated your birthday as a married couple and I love you twice as much. You can have dinner anywhere you want and it doesn't have to be a cheeseteak.

    Such a natural looking capture! And, that sandwich looks darn good! I might choose to have my birthday dinner right there...do they have wine? Ha

    You said, "this week's theme is people." I am confused...is it a meme or just your own theme for the week?

    & a beautiful sentiment for your wife James!.
    this is a great photo too. I take so few photos of people I look through my blog posts and wonder, where have all the Long Islanders gone?

    Aw, that's so sweet, James. I hope you and your wife share a very special celebration.

    I'm constantly asked what i miss most from 'home.' I used to say 'nothing.' But you just reminded me...Philly cheesesteaks (esp Pat's). Oh, and scrapple! Great photo, James, it brings back a lot of good memories! ;)

    As a week theme, the picture is simply great and strong( even if I prefer not to say what I think about the food this man is showing...Ü)
    for a birthday, your words are lovely, but don't match with the picture! Ü
    Anyway, please tell Vicky that she has some birthday wishes from France, and lot of hugs to share with "she knows who"...
    joyeux anniversaire!

    This is a great shot James. But no Pat's? (jk) I think you captured him very well. And you captured that steak beautifully, I'm salivating! Happy Birthday to Vicki and have a great week. Kathy

    Happy Birthday to Victoria!

    Yes, it looks very delicious.
    Though simple, a lot is expressed.
    I like this work.

    That's a real good shot, James. Glad to see you got hooked on 'people'. No way I could eat a roll that size!

    Oh wow, that photo is giving me a serious case of the Munchies !!! Cruel and Unusual !!! Foul !!! Not fair ! I want one ! Bad James !!!

    Listen, if Vicki doesn't want it, maybe you could wrap up real well and FedEx it over here to France ??? I promise I would eat every last crumb !

    And the icing on the cake, is my Word Verification is : "hogey" ... now how is that for adding to my aggrieved state of seriously needing a cheesesteak or a good hoagie ???

    Weird, I could have sworn I commented on this post! Shucks it isn't here.

    Vicki - happy birthday - late now I know...sorry!

    James I was interested in knowing if you ask people if you can take their photos before you do it, or if you just take them and they are fine with it?

    I am just curious because I am always such a chicken to take people's photos, but would love to because I find them all so interesting.
