Landscape
composition techniques A landscape photographer establishes a sense of place by interpreting the sight of mountains, lakes, forests and buildings as a composition of vectored lines, scaled proportions and tonal contrasts confined to a two-dimensional space. Some basic techniques are demonstrated here. |

Planning
a trip This is my modus operandi for do-it-yourself adventuring: I am my own travel agent, guide and chauffeur. |

Not just another homemade meal -- Even here, in the Asian culinary mecca that is Los Angeles, a truly respectable serving of classic nigiri sushi is as rare as it is costly. If you can find a market that offers the requisite ultra-fresh ocean fish, you may as well make them yourself. For this ten-piece set, I spent $14 on about 1 lb of sashimi-quality fatty tuna and king salmon filets, which I rinsed thoroughly with filtered water. Steamed rice, at room temperature, is mixed with rice vinegar and furikake (finely-particulate mixture of dried fish meat, roe, sesame and seaweed, commonly tossed over rice) before it is shaped into thumb-sized rolls by hand. A small wad of wasabi (horseradish) is applied to each roll before it is dressed with a generous cut of fish. Chopped green onions and more furikake are sprinkled over the sushi prior to a light dousing of soy sauce. Finally, this fabulous course is served with green tea and thin slices of pickled sweet ginger. Photo on left was taken with a Nikon D100 and a f/2.8 20mm D lens; photo on right was taken with the same camera and a f/2.8 60mm D lens.
