![Making pelmeni. (5.25.2012)<br />
<br />
Originally from Siberia, pelmeni's the Russian equivalent of ravioli - a little meat-filled dumpling that's boiled & served with butter & sour cream. It's widely eaten throughout the country & sold frozen in the supermarkets. Some, like this woman, still make it from scratch.<br />
<br />
This shot somewhat epitomizes [to me] how our perceptions are deeply influenced by our cultural reference points. Rustem sees this as a typical village woman making a tasty Russian delicacy. Admittedly, I'm not a fan of pelmeni - something about the meat & spices combination doesn't appeal to me. That aside, when I look at this, all I can think of is yuck, as my eyes are drawn to those short, dirty fingernails engaged in food prep and, to a lesser extent, their disparity with the imitation pearls.<br />

on Oct 11This shot is wonderful. I love the scene you have here..The baker's concentration.. your composition, and the wonderful light. We will be in Barcelona as part of our trip to Europe in November, your shots are tantalizing and getting me so excited to travel and see what I can find of interest to share!

on Oct 11I really like the comp and pp. Makes me want to go to my local bakery although I see this is soup/sandwich.
What's going on with the daily community is quite sad...

on Oct 11Outstanding comp and light!!! Yep, really noticed a drop in participation from a year ago, used to be you could get 4 or five pages of comments, now, you're fortunate if you get 3 (for me, it's 2)...
