April 7, 2004: Passover in Park Slope
I used my parent's annual Passover seder to play around with the dedicated flash. I strapped it on to the top of my little G2, and generally pointed it up at the ceiling in these shots. I still haven't mastered it, but I think the results are promising- certainly the photos seem less blown-out than ones I've taken with the G2 flash. Another thing: I'm trying to cap these daily posts to a maximum of 8 pictures each. Eliot and I were talking earlier in the week, and he reminded me of the importance of editing. So according to my eye, these are the best 8 shots I took in this series. Judge for yourself by looking at the rest in the gallery section.

Ah, another second night Passover seder, another day after second night Passover seder food hangover.
In small rooms, try using a diffuser box (like $5) on top of the flash... it will light the 4 walls more and ceiling less, so you don't have that "flourescent light" effect of such directional lighting.
Why did you put up that ugly-ass picture of me? We are no longer related.
I mean this a completely objective way, but why is Jewish food so bad (esp., during holiday). If I was invited to someone's house and they served me boiled eggs on plastic plates I'd pick up and leave not come back.
everyone is entitled to his opinion, but i love jewish food. i love boiled eggs and roast turkey and briscuit, and corned beef, roast chickens, etc. i love chicken soup with maztoh balls, and i love matzoh and all the passover foods. i love kosher pizza, and i like gefilte fish, and i'm partial to all manner of kosher dark chocolate dessert foods, including marshmallow sticks, jelly rings, etc. i could go on, and i haven't even touched the non-ashkenazi jewish foods- i'm particularly partial to israeli and north african food.
