The light was really, really bad… and yet I really like the light in this image.

This underscores the fact that you never truly know how the image will look until you press the shutter.  In thinking about this, I’m reminded of that famous Garry Winogrand quote:  “I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.”

“Cascara, meaning husk, peel or skin in Spanish – the dried skins of coffee cherries.  Brew it just like you brew your tea!  This cascara tastes like jujube fruits, honey and dried fruits.“
