Re: PESO: Swedish Deli

[Paul Stenquist]

Thanks Frank. I checked the metadata. The focal length was 16mm. Of 
course (dare I say it?), the field of view would be the equivalent of a 
24mm lens with 35mm film. I cropped a wee bit as well to straighten the 
verticals in the center of frame. (The freezer case apparently hadn't 
been leveled.) I bought a jar of imported Swedish Herring in cream 
sauce. It was very good. Perfect little fillets with more garlic and 
less vinegar than what we get her in the USA. I also bought a jar of 
Swedish mustard. It has a nice rich/sweet flavor. My father, Nils 
Gustav Stenquist,  hung around in Andersonville in the 1930s, so it's a 
special place for me.

Shel's picture of the ice-cream parlor reminded me of this shot I took
in a Sweish Delicatessan last weekend. Ya, the deli is in Chicago's
Andersonville neighborhood. It was shot with the *istD and the DA
16-45, f16@ 7/10ths of a second. I rested the camera on a freezer case
to steady it. You can see that one customer moved during the exposure.

Nice shot, Paul.  Looks like a cool place.  Love the old tin ceiling
and the vintage display coolers.
Whatever focal length you used, it's just about right for the
circumstance.  Exposure's perfect - I (of course) actually like the
blurred guy - adds even more character to the shot.  Really nice
composition, nice soft lighting - the shot has a nice mood to it, I
find.
Terrific stuff!  But, what's a guy named Stenquist doing in a Swedish 
deli?
