I have fallen way behind on my Project 52 Weeks themes. This week's theme is catching up. I did week #32, imitating or interpreting an artist and the artist is Elliott Erwitt. My picture is no where close to his work but one of his subjects is children. I took this picture of the little girl near the pond in Central Park. Thank you for the pose, little girl!

Aug 6 - Shallow Depth of Field

I signed up for 30 days to better food photos (30dbfp) project. This picture is part of that project. Whenever I post a picture from that project, I shall mention it.

Bowl of dal in the background is gangavalli kura pappu.

At a Farmers Market

Produce from Union Square farmers market. It was closing time when I got there and there wasn't much to buy. These onions caught my eye, so fresh and straight from the farm. I did not buy anything except some blueberries.

Cooking Experiment - Northern Thai Chicken Curry

Northen Thai Chicken Curry was our dinner last night but did not like how it turned out. It was different from most of the Thai curries I have tasted. It tasted more like an Indian chicken curry. It is not going on my food blog.. :(
