About Me
- un petit morceau
- Corrales, New Mexico, United States
- My mother grew up in Paris, one of 11 children, and had memories of bomb shelters and only flour and water to eat, as well as raucous family meals.[What else could they have been with 11 children?]When she landed in America as a young girl, she paid her way by assisting the dietitian with all the meals at her Ann Arbor, Michigan school.So family tradition,hunger and a decidedly forward thinking school cook all led to food and dinner time being somewhat of an obsession.My mother would always prepare a 2 and sometimes 3 course meal for us.Working beside Mama in the kitchen was a cloth woven with long periods of comfortable silences,confessions,laughing and the intricate ballet required when you have more than one person in a New York City apartment kitchen.What I write here has so much to do with this woman who would literally swoon eating a marron glace. Appreciation, gratitude and wonder.She had those and I hope to share some with you.
I know I said this before, but this shot deserves more praise - you have a real talent for this! These photos are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOz is right, you do have a talent for "seeing" the shot in what you are looking at. Plus, the captions are evocative as well, which only adds to the photo. I think all of us want to go to New Mexico now!
ReplyDeleteYes - NM looks so beautiful in the pictures by Nana. It's a pity it's too far from here...
ReplyDeleteMust be looking out towards ABQ proper.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lenka and others - it's so nice and peaceful, but it's so far from here (it's about 15000km from Irkutsk where I live - I've calculated it on "google map" just now) :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, I posted a revision to my comment: apparently Google didnt like it.
ReplyDeleteWhat I think I was trying to say, and didn't communicate well, was instead of saying "talent for 'seeing' the shot" -I should have said the
"talent for "seeing" the beauty around". and communicating it through the image and captions.
:-)
There, I feel better.
I give you all a big kiss!
ReplyDeleteThat would make a nice CD-cover... *g*

I just stumbled on this blog about a week ago and I've been utterly charmed. I loved the cooking video blogs so much and I hope we get another one soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you for putting a little homey touch on my blog reader. :)
Is this Corrales? I always imagined a really tiny village.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the picture is beautiful! Reminds me a bit of Greece: Sitting in a tavern in some bay on some Greek island on a summer night and, as the sun has set, watching in the villages around the bay and on the far islands the lights go on one by one until the whole bay is illuminated... sigh!!
