    more portraits inside a windowless home! with all the practice lately, i feel like i can do this with one hand tied behind my back.

    however, this one initially gave me some fits because i couldn't get enough light. this was the house where bounce flash went to die. i went manual at full power and the walls and ceiling just sucked up the light. so i found a large white ethiopian serving dish and had linda stand in the doorway holding it where i could bounce some light.

    shooting in RAW and noise ninja sure help when you're way underexposed, too.

    What is the stuff to the left of the girl on the floor?

    i don't know! i didn't see it until i was looking at the photos. the stuff in the very bottom corner is cassava. the other stuff i have no idea...maybe a root of some kind. i saw something similar-looking drying outside at another site.

    Hmm. I didn't realize that cassava was hard pieces like that. Do they then boil it?
