Pachamanca is the Quechua language word for a traditional Andean cooking technique, in which vegetables and meats are placed underground with very hot stones and slowly roasted. ("Pacha" means "earth" in Quechuan, and "manca" means "pot").
Typical components of a pachamanca include several varieties of potatoes, assorted meats such as pork, lamb, and quinea pig, habas (large lima beans in the pod), tamales, and corn on the cob. The ingredients are layered with herbs such as huacatay (a local mint-like herb) and oregano and covered with very hot stones. This cooking method dates back to the time of the Incan empire, and is still very popular today.

A few weeks ago i was asked to photograph a group of kids at a dance school that my daughter attends. The girls were practicing their routines for their first ever showcase held at The Shire Hall in Hereford just a week later. The girls were fantastic and a load of fun on the day so we decided i go along to the showcase to take some snaps also! Here are just a few of my favourite shots from the session! I have more photographs over on my website but at the moment they are password protected, as soon as im able to then i shall post a few more from there. I went to the shoot with a few different ideas in mind. At the time of shooting i thought that i would already edit these in a showbiz style with it being a touch edgy and fun. The Girls were great at pulling out poses when asked and were fantastic in their routines also!
several plays on language with this one. Way back in the day, Marvel did a humor mag called, "Not Brand Ecchs," in which they parodied their superhero line (along with their Distinguished Competitor's). They presented the Mighty Sore and that was the initial inspiration here. Next, since this is based on the scarecrow character of Oz, soar was only appropo for one who is to scare winged creatures. Lastly, he is in a perpetually foul (and fowl) mood.

Traveling allowed me to learn a new language. In this picture we see the Greek Guards of the Parliament in Athens. But what I want you to look at is the Greek writing in the background.
When I decided to travel to Europe I knew I was going to Greece. There, not many people speak English in the smaller cities (like in Iraklio), so I decided to learn to speak Greek, although I lost a lot of it now that I no longer practice.
When we travel and need to use another language to be understood and get around, we have no choice but to learn it. I find that putting oneself in such a situation is a great way of learning a new language and the people I met in Greece were more than happy to help me learn.

I finally figured out why nobody cares I correctly predicted the single #costliest natural disaster ever in detail publishing in eleven languages repeatedly before it cost the quarter trillion dollars at the "June 15, 1896" epicenter on March 11, 2011 that I was tortured in "four point" restraints for! Because the most expensive day of all time I predicted costliest natural disaster ever made the '04 Boxing Day "Christmas Day at Ground Zero" 9.11 magnitude deadliest natural disaster ever w/ the very religiously strategic epicenter off the coast of "most Muslim" not described w/ watch time for 230,000 non-Christian fatalities as the American Airlines Flight 11 September 11, 2001 departure look much more natural historically on cold plates at a time of our choosing. Competence.
