One camera, one lens

I decided that since I had not picked up a camera for a few days (I have been busy with life things, and medical things, and organizational things and preparing for my trip to Beijing in January) I needed to take some pictures today. I also decided to take only one camera and only one lens and see what images popped up.   I chose mt Leica M8 and a Voigtlander 25mm lens.  I decided also to try scale focusing instead of using the rangefinder. It is good to practice these skills before you need them (I could probably use a little more practice!). Anyway, these were the images that caught my eye today:

Thanksgiving goes better with Leathers!

At Ryan and Michelle's we had a great meal and even better company! I even admitted to never having been a woman (when I get relaxed, I open up!).

I had a great evening and it was warming to my heart on a cold day!

Thanks, guys!













Crab stuffing and oyster dressing



At thanksgiving I went to Ryan and Michelle's and I decided to bring Crab Stuffing and Oyster Dressing. I had made the oyster dressing before, but the crab stuffing was a new twist on my old recipe.

I start by tearing up a loaf of bread, then add the package dressing as per isntructions (onions, celery) and then add the oysters and liquid or crab and chicken broth.

pretty simple...pretty delicious!
