"El artista sabe lo que hace, pero para que merezca la pena debe saltar esa barrera y hacer lo que no sabe."
Eduardo Galeano
This was so easy I don't feel right even thinking of it as a recipe.
I'd been boiling the ham hock since Easter. I'd put it in the smallest pan it would fit in, covered it with water, brought it to a boil each night, put the lid on, and simmered it until bedtime. Then I'd repeat the whole scenario each night.
Of course, we'd carved the ham so that there was a generous amount of meat left on the bone. Last night the meat started to come loose, so I knew tonight would be soup night.
Came home (HOURS late!), transferred the ham hock and liquid to a larger pan, probably one that holds about two quarts. Cleaned all the meat off the bone, cleaned the marrow out of the bone, threw both into the soup liquid and threw the bone into the trash. Then I turned the heat on medium under the pot.
Believe it or not, that was the hard part. Next, I drained the liquid from a 15-oz can of kidney beans, put the beans in the soup. I chopped a large leek, keeping the white and green separate. The white went in the pot right away.
While that came to a simmer, I went hunting in the freezer for mushrooms. I often will buy lots of mushrooms at once, sautée them right away in a bit of butter, put the lid on for the end, and then freeze the mushrooms and juice until I need them. The pack I grabbed would have been about four ounces of mushrooms before cooking.
Tossed the frozen mushrooms into the soup, and brought it all to bubbling again. When it was bubbling, I finally tossed in the chopped leek greens. I put the lid on right away, reduced the heat to low, and set the timer to five minutes.
I canned two pints, and ate one pint for dinner. You might be thinking, but what about spices? Well, that was what I thought, until I tasted it. It didn't need a thing. I'd have put potato in if I had some. I thought about a bit of rice. Someone suggested a pinch of cumin, and some one else suggested dill. As things turned out, I ate it just the way it was.
INGREDIENTS
1 ham hock with ham
1 leek, large, chopped
1 15-oz can kidney beans, drained
4-oz mushrooms, sliced & sautéed
That's it! It was ready for eating an hour after I got home.

Verbascum phoeniceum L.
Purple Mulein, DE: Violette Kӧnigskerze, CR: ljubičasta divizma
Slo.: vijolični lučnik
Dat.: April 28. 2015
Lat.: 45.08154 Long.: 14.44152
Code: Bot_871/2015_DSC6126
Habitat: small, grassy openings in the wood and among bushes; flat, calcareous terrain; half shade, dry place; exposed to direct rain; elevation 70 m (230 feet), average precipitations 1.000-1.200 mm/year, average temperature 13-15 deg C, Mediterranean phytogeographical region.
Substratum: soil.
Place: both sides of the dirt road from village Poljica to boat anchorage of the village, west part of island Krk, Adriatic Sea, Kvarner, Croatia EC
Comments: Plants in the genus Verbascum are mostly large and conspicuous. Some species can reach almost 2 m height having hundreds of bright yellow flowers. A group of such plants is a magnificent view. All of 13 species of this genus growing in Slovenia and all 16 of them growing in the whole Alps bloom yellow with a single exception - Verbascum phoeniceum. It is violet and not very tall (up to 1 m, usually much smaller). Its typical characteristic is its flowers when still in buds. They resemble to small, deep violet, perfectly five angled cushions. The determination of the plant is hence simple. Verbascum phoeniceum is a warmth lover. In Slovenia it is almost rare, particularly in its alpine phytogeographical region. It enters the whole Alps arc only on a few, most southern places. North of us, in Austria, it is a very rare and protected plant. The plants photographed were growing scattered, solitary and in small groups of few on both sides of the local dirt road.

Firstly: please note this is not my birthday.
This makes me sound like such a horrific nerd, but the amount of different types of dates this field accepts is so great. Although the placeholder text prompts for November 14, 1976 it also accepted:
01 Jan 63
01 January 1963
01/01/63
01/01/1963
and probably more. This is how forms should handle user input .
This one didn't respond well to the treatment I used for most of the other smoke shots so I left it pretty much as it was. Just a bit of a pull in the curves. It's just recently that I've started to appreciate some of these less processed images.

This shot is part of an engagement session I shot with Gwyneth Colleen Photography at South Station in Boston, MA. Gwyn was directing the couple and I was walking around trying to find interesting angles. There was a leak in the awning with water just gushing out. I was able to focus on the water and catch it in mid air. I give this one the "shot of the day" award.
Simple green drop that I found strangely compelling. Description of setup can be found in "Blue Tranquility". In this setup though, I used an actual green posterboard instead of using gels.

[About this Shoot: This is the 2nd article in a series of 3. On Jan 14th I highlighted David Brier - The Brand Elevator. For today's feature of his company DBD International, David wanted to stick with a theme of "defying gravity". We came up with the simple concept of the classic "is the glass half full or empty" analogy but the twist being the top half is full and the bottom is empty. He wanted to keep a retro, 50's style coloring to the theme. Be sure to check out the 3rd installment of David's book here on the 25th.]

everything is always so complex. I like it when some things are simple, like the joy of a summer day, or the smell of flowers that make a smile come so easily.

By The Box Boy
April 2007
I recently wanted to experiment with wooden hinges for an unusual box I was making.
After reading Roger Gifkins excellent article (available for free download from www.gifkins.com.au/SingleActionWoodenHinge.pdf), I decided that I really did not want to work to the precision required for Roger’s method.
The method detailed below demonstrates how easy it is to make wooden hinges without a great deal of precision. The technique involves making a set of individual hinge fingers and then assembling them to make the completed hinge. An added bonus is that two or more contrasting timbers can be used to give a unique feel to the hinges (as in the photo of the completed box).
I make no claim to originality. These hinges are so simple to make that there must be others who have or are using this technique.
