Hf423: bringing the studio to you! - April 20, 2007

well i brought my setup into class today -- felt kinda goofy porting a mini reflective umbrella on the outside of my backpack, but it was worth it.

I got some more good experience with the flash, and even tried some flash-HDR (which shouldn't really be different, but is...)

Anyway, here are the results:

Shooting with a Sunpak 4000 AF (non TTL, basically guess work, and frustrating when it takes 20 seconds for the flash to recharge)

Hope you like em.

French-style oysters from a w0nderful Russian fish-purchaser - April 01, 2007

So after grabbing pickup from Dok Bua (best Thai in boston, amazingly 100 yards from my apartment) Lara and I stopped into Wulf's fish market looking to buy some oysters.

While there, we were lucky enough to converse with a wonderful Russian woman who was having a fish mongered for her.

She offered us a recommendation for our oysters that turned out to be one of the most wonderful flavor/texture/experience combinations I have ever enjoyed.  She made sure that we were 21 first (it was all sort of hush-hush, really), and told us about this:

Could this oyster be more perfect?

Sauce:
5 oz fresh (good quality) horseradish
2 oz heinz katchup
2 oz organic ketchup
1 oz rancho gordo hot sauce
1 oz worchestershire
salt and pepper to taste

1 freshly shucked oyster *minimal hand-stabbing*

topped with lemon juice and ice cold grey goose.

devine.

serve with a pacifico beer:
mixed with 1 oz rancho gordo hot sauce
                      1 oz worchestershire
                        2 oz lime juice
                          salted rim

have a wonderful day.
