Tasty Tuesdays :: Thanksgiving

Jesse — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 18:48:32 +0000

With American Thanksgiving just days away it only makes sense to post some old photos from last years Thanksgiving. Two of my favorite family recipes from Thanksgiving are my mom’s cranberry relish and an old family recipe for a jello dish. I am not 100% sure what the jello dish recipe is, though I do know it entails lime juice, jello, cream cheese and celery. I know this may sound odd but don’t knock it til you try it (this is the same family that eats peanut butter and pickle sandwiches). The other dish is a little less bizarre and is cranberry relish. My mother has never been one to follow a recipe, but it is something like this:

1 bag cranberries, rinsed and picked over
1 orange
1 cup sugar (you may way to start with 1 cup and add more to taste)
3 tablespoons Cointreau (again this is to taste)

Put all ingredients in a cuisinart and pulse til it looks like relish.
Let sit for at least 10 minutes.

What are your favorite family recipes?

Bug in a Field {Tasty Tuesday #44}

Jesse — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 21:57:49 +0000

This weeks photo from the archives is from a shoot I just can’t resist posting about more. I had such fun shooting with Kelsey that I thought I would post one more photo from our shoot together, and one she took of me (cause if you have a volkswagon in a field you have to climb on top of it yourself!)

Siblings {Tasty Tuesday #37} :: Sacramento Wedding Photography

Jesse — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 22:17:45 +0000

I don’t normally do this (post two photoss) but I have been catching up on a bunch of editing and these are two of my favorite pictures I have gone through today. First, is my sister (again), and I am hoping my mother will like this one, cause Mere is actually smiling. Even if it is a tiny smile. The second one is my brother, Cam, who is growing up to be super handsome, as well as talented. I loved the light in this one especially, and Cam finally seems to be coming around to me taking photos of him, which I love even more. These were both was taken at my cousin Gillian’s awesome wedding in Winters, which I posted about here. I took lots of photos of Gillian and Paul, but I also had a chance to get some really great shots of my more immediate family.

Back and Forth We Go {Tasty Tuesday #33 }

Jesse — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 23:40:13 +0000

So this week I am headed back down to California; this time for my cousin’s wedding. I am pretty giddy about the wedding, though not nearly as giddy as I was for my own. I have come to LOVE weddings and I am especially excited for Gillian’s, in large part because she is family. And I love my family. Kevin and I will be attending the rehearsal dinner, a rafting trip and finally the big day, so it promises to be a fun filled trip. I am planning to do my best to embarrass Gillian during the rehearsal dinner (we have a bit of a tradition in our family of roasting the couple the night before); all I will say now is “Look guys! They jiggle.” So, in honor of California, and weddings this photo from the archives comes from the day after my own wedding and was taken in California. If you look closely you can spot the hawk (you should know by now I am have a big thing for birds.

T-Rex Tasty Tuesday (#14)

Jesse — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 19:55:42 +0000

This weeks TT comes from a visit to my Dad’s house a few years ago. I love going home and playing with my little brother and all his action figures. I didn’t have too many action figures growing up as a child, but my little brother does, so we have fun making stop motion films and putting together lego sets whenever I go visit. This photo is from a little reenactment we did before filming our first movie together (which you can see here). Please keep in mind that I made this with my nine year old brother and he was the director, and I was just the editor.

Tasty Tuesday #5

Another installment of Tasty Tuesdays. This fruit was shot on the same trip as the previous installment of Tasty Tuesday. This one was shot in New Zealand. It was a very random roadside attraction. Got to love those crazy Kiwi’s.

Tasty Tuesdays

Tasty Tuesdays is something my my friend Reuben Krabbe started a while back. Reuben tends to have good ideas. This sometimes makes me insanely jealous and I have to tell him that he sucks* at photography just to make myself feel better.

So, I have been playing along with Tasty Tuesdays for four weeks now. This photo comes from 2006, when I had a layover in Hong Kong, on my way way down to New Zealand to visit my sister (who was living there at the time). This is one of my favorite point-and-shoot photos. This building is lit by light reflecting off, and emanating from another, much newer, building that wasn’t nearly as interesting

* Reuben doens’t actually suck at photography. If you would like to see some of his work, and enter to win a print of him check out his blog.
