Black And White Urban Building Restorer

Black And White Urban Building Restorer

I'm writing this at 4.30 am as I have hot feet and about to dive into the freezer.

Coming back from an appointment yesterday I took some urban shots which is a departure for me.

Before I took these shots I too felt abandoned in a sense drifting , but seeing this poor abandoned building I realised what potential I have.

 

With photography it is all about having a go , at the moment I am varying my angles to get different prospective. One time I would have been bothered about the cars being in the shot , but I am reminded of my architectural and history , heritage  background . To breath live into our old buildings is a miraculous achievement.

Whether they are iconic landmarks 

Or as an urban canvas for griffiti form and functionality.

This is very very much much in it's raw state and it is my new baby and I don't even have a badge yet!

I hope it will set you on a path of self discovery and will be self peculating.

For me many moments are flash and feeling , as mentioned before I think it , see it do it.

For me photography is a pleasure a release , I've just ordered a ring flash and I'm looking forward to playing with that.

Cheats Chicken Kiev And Eaton Mess

My son is obsessed with chicken Kiev and given half a chance would eat it every day , I much prefer him to have fresh chicken Kiev rather than ones than look like they have spent too much on the sun bed. Fresh Kiev's are available from the local village butcher but are rather pricey, so I much rather buy a packet of 4 chicken breasts and as we are a family of 3 there is one left I can slice up for my husbands pack lunch result !

Ingredients

4 chicken breast

cream cheese about 4 tablespoon 

3 garlic cloves or less depending or your garlic levels

You could also use garlic paste as a quick option

100g fresh breadcrumbs

1 egg/ olive oil

Optional you could add some garlic to the cream cheese  and put less in the seasonings, 

Method

Peel the garlic cloves and together with mixed herbs, breadcrumb whizz in a food processor.

Cut a slit in your chicken ( about a thumb length) carefully making sure do not go all the way through.

Spoon  some cream cheese into the slit and push down , repeat this for the remaining chicken breasts.

You can either brush your chicken with olive oil or brush with beaten egg the choice is up to you .

Then press the chicken into the herby breadcrumbs.
