I think this is one of my favorite photos of Eric. We had been wanting to stop at this diner, Dewey’s Diner, on Fuller for months and months, but never caught it open. We were up early today to change out the Shasta vent and found the place open! The guy was very adamant about me not taking ANY photo that would include even a sliver of him in the frame. He claimed even his wife and kids don’t have photographs of him. So, it was hard to take photos and a bit uncomfortable—and completely frustrating because the place was gorgeous and I wanted to snap so many photos!! A patron offered to take a photo of the two of us together with my camera. I’m interested in seeing how that one turns out.
This is our new favorite diner. The people were just great. The blue interior is so beautiful [...]
