A Belgian who took to the sea at fourteen to work as a ship&rsquo;s cook and saw many things - including over-eager young Poles cutting their fingers off and the preparation of seagull in secret to offset a meat shortage. He was a restauranteur for a spell and then a cooking teacher. He just so happened to teach me how to make an easy chicken stock.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2018-05-03-did-a-quick-impromptu-photo/ Thu, 03 May 2018 14:07:12 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2018-05-03-did-a-quick-impromptu-photo/ <p>Did a quick impromptu photo session for my dear mate Marcus - a powerhouse consultant on African social investment programs - for his new website. Good enough until I can go again with my full gear.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2018-02-14-all-cats-all-the-time/ Wed, 14 Feb 2018 10:29:48 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2018-02-14-all-cats-all-the-time/ <p>All cats all the time I’m afraid. I should start taking more interesting pics again as Feb goes on. My handsome boy is in danger of getting fat. He eats twice as much as the others.</p> <p>This is that same 105mm Nikkor from the ‘70s that I posted last year. It’s my fave 35mm lens at the moment. On this crop sensor it’s a 158mm f2.5 - a perfect portrait lens.</p>
