Wilber’s was my least favorite of the three. It wasn’t that it was bad, it was still tasty, but it just wasn’t able to hold up to B’s or The Skylight Inn.

Notes:

The sweet tea here was actually the best of the three and there was plenty of it. They bring out a large pitcher full of it and leave it on your table.

The collard greens were quite mushy and seemed like they had been cooked too long or pureed.

Notes:

They mix some cracklin in with the meat to give it a nice crunch. The texture is odd at first, but you quickly forget about it when you realize how incredibly delicious it is.

We’ve decided to document our discovery with photos and video. (Video is new.  Just got my 7D yesterday, so cut us some slack.)

Notes:

B’s is hands down the best pulled pork I have ever had.  It is tender, sweet and the sauce is amazing.

The staff is extremely courteous.  Plus, I love being called sweetheart by old ladies.

Get there early.  They open at 10 and close when they run out of food.

I’m surprised that more people don’t go to the beach in the winter.  Surprised and thankful.  I couldn’t imagine anything more peaceful experience than setting up my gear before dawn and waiting patiently on the shore for the sun to rise.

I’m fascinated by water drop shots I’ve seen around. This is my first attempt at making some of my own.

I followed a guide I saw on the Strobist site.

I used a canon 580EX II off camera left at 1/4 power. It was triggered with a Canon ST-E2 wireless transmitter. I basically used the exact same technique from the Strobist tutorial.

The colors come from a combination of a really poor painting of mine and an ad on the back of a magazine I had laying around.

It was a lot of fun to do and I will definitely be trying this again, hopefully with better results.

Here’s the photo I originally toyed around with submitting.

This photo was taken at the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks, Oklahoma with a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 (the thrifty fifty).
