Seattle – O’Brien Photography

Kaylee and Miso

Yes, it’s a dog and a cat. But it’s my first photo in a long time (and proof of concept of a post from my phone).

2018 MS Art Show

I had three photos in the MS Art Show at Seattle Center.

The two people in the back are looking at my photos. The fellow in front stepped into a convenient column of light.

The Hangtown Fry

hangtown fry

At the Wandering Goose, Seattle.

The origins of this dish go back to the California Gold Rush. Placerville, a town in the Sierra foothills, was also known as Hangtown. A gentleman, flush with gold, came in to a restaurant and allegedly said, “Give me the most expensive thing you have!”

The result was this: Oysters, pork belly, soft-boiled eggs, all on top of a bed of potatoes. At the time, it was the eggs that were regarded as the true extravagance.
