Catching up

This post isn't for the squeamish, but I am crazy behind on editing and thought I'd share these anyway. A few weeks ago, Nicole Franzen and I met up in Brooklyn, because it was getting ridiculous that we hadn't met up in person yet, despite all our online interaction. I love a good excuse to go to the Blue Bottle there, where I almost always get the New Orleans Iced Coffee. That time, I tried an adorable s'mores sandwich too.

We then headed to the piers in Williamsburg where we saw a few men fishing. Yes - fishing in the East River. We got lucky and witnessed them catching this pretty sizable striped bass. These shots were taken in less than ideal conditions at f/4.0, 1/4000s on Kodak Portra 400.

Yum yum.

  3. Aw, that's not so bad! I thought you were gonna show 'em gutting it or somethin'. Then again, I used to go fishing with my dad every weekend as a kid (and horror movies were my bedtime stories) so I guess I got a leg up on the rest of ya. :P

  4. I just caught and gutted my first fish on a recent backpacking trip. Ripping the guts out of a fish out isn't exactly what I call fun.. Never again.
