[best appreciated at full size against black] When you go to most Asian restaurants, you will notice that the usual condiment for flavoring a dish at the table is soy sauce, a very salty liquid made from fermented soybeans, which has the consistency of water and it has a unique flavor which I love. While Steve and I were waiting for our order to be prepared, I had fun taking some pictures with my camera. Without moving a thing, this grouping of soy sauce, salt and pepper sitting on the table next to the frosted-glass window made a cool still life! This image was taken in November, 2011.

A few months ago, Steve and I went to a sushi restaurant and I had a lot of fun taking pictures with my (then) new 100mm lens while we waited for our order. This pair of images is a study in bokeh: distant and near (the other is below). I hope you like them! :) This image was taken in November, 2011.
