Pizza is one of those things that’s really satisfying to make. I have a crust recipe that I’ve been slowly working on making better, and I think I’m almost there now. To test this theory I decided to make a shrimp and pesto pizza today.
Having been thwarted two days in a row on grilling, I decided to make a roast chicken inspired by Thomas Keller’s roast chicken from Ad Hoc.
This past week I was going to go to a steakhouse, but was thwarted by a hour and a half long wait time. As a result, I decided that I was just going to make my own steak at home.

What follows is a tale of woe. It’s a story filled with pretty colors in a mostly out of focus gathering of light upon Kodak Portra 400.
It’s been a while since my last post. With work going crazy and then a trip down to Southern California, I wasn’t really able to shoot much. However, here are a few selections from two different rolls I shot in the past month or so.
