Keira’s Mulan

I’m not sure how Halloween will play out this year, but I wanted to do something nice for our neighbor Keira. This was especially true when I heard that she likes Mulan, so we did a photoshoot.

It’s been so long since I did a shoot, I was a bit off my game. That only means I have to shoot more. Here are some outtakes.

On the technical side, this was my 1st chance to use the Magmod Magbox. It was a bit small at 24″, but was light in weight and quick to setup.

Pandemic Cooking #8

With various leftovers in the frig I made what we call Basura Ramen.

Pandemic Cooking #7

Tonight Sandy seared some scallops for me. So lucky I am.

Pandemic Cooking #6

Jamaican brown stew chicken, a bit spicy for us but we enjoyed it so much.

Today by some stroke of luck the burd photography gods granted me the opportunity to shoot that ever so shy female kingfisher in the backyard that I’ve been chasing forever. Also later in the day, what I believe was a hairy woodpecker right in front of Paul & Brenda’s.

Pandemic Cooking #5

Leftover grilled pompano & pork belly turned into street tacos. To much youtube caused me to make loco moco.

Pandemic Crops

Perhaps its from being cooped up at home day after day but I started to plant some seeds from a leftover potato, avocado & papaya. We’ll see what becomes of it. Maybe I should get some farm livestock too. A weed eating goat that hates papaya would be cool.

Pandemic Cooking #4

Our neighbor Paul gave us some smoked salmon, so today Sandy made some pasta to accompany it.

Pandemic Cooking #3

I tried a new recipe for crispy pork belly. Unfortunately I overcooked the piggy as it was a bit tough. We gave that one to Chris & Tami, we kept the good one. The celery root & red cabbage was a great pairing.
