Copy Photography on Arbat Street, Moscow
More of my chance copy photography experiments, this time again on the Arbat in Moscow, Russia.
Copy photography is what I (and maybe others) call using a camera to reproduce a work of art which could be a photograph itself or a painting.
And especially reproduce it in such a way that it can almost stand on its own.
With a modern high quality camera, the results can be quite fetching.
Even my olde Sony rx100 m2 does the trick.
See? Not to shabby to pass for my own ... but using photographic posters this time from a Mexico200 exhibition.
Mexico 200 photo exhibition by somebody as seen on the Arbat in late November 2021.
Now on to Korea, south part.
Unboxing Panasonic RF-3500 E-9K Radio Four Bands, including SW
Radios are still around ... and some even still have shortwave bands.

First, hidden bow tie mode.
This is the culprit then.
It was a pre-tied, however I cut the stitches and untied it to tie it myself, as well (or badly) as I am able to on the day.

How To Choose Trousers for Any Sport Coat – Put This On: We’ve all been there before: you buy a sport coat that looked tremendous on the rack. You may have been...
One knows all that, but thank you very much nonetheless, D.G.
Note to self actually.
Red and Green Inspo from RL
Inspo: red and green ... or is it burgundy and bottle green?
Who said they can't be mixed?

Remember reading his blog when he used to post his outfits regularly, some years back.
I noticed that his blog seems to have disappeared and he had stopped posting awhile before that but only today did I learn of his passing a year ago.

How to Tie the Perfect Bow Tie | Lessons from a Men's Shop
Of course, I know all that.
It's kind of like riding a bicycle ... once you learn it, you can't unlearn ... or maybe you can

Beijing Opera and Peking Duck
In my restaurants today: a Beijing Opera cocktail and Peking Duck.
Beijing Opera cocktail, it's rum based, tasty but one isn't enough for much effect, just a hint of something pleasant.
And half a Peking Duck with garnishes and pancakes.
My Chinese restaurant going disguise.
Not much info online about a cocktail called Beijing Opera, could be some new creation by the restaurant so here is composition.
And like I said it's rum based but better drunk in multiples for it to really work, at least three to five per Hemingway.
Hello! Which'd you get ... the palm or the fist.
Choose wisely.
Here at Moscow's Kitaiskie Novosti (aka Chinese News) restaurant.

A Coffee and a Little Cake
Nothing beats a large (400 ml) cup of Americano (Espresso + hot water) coffee and a little cake.
The cake is known as a "potato". It is sweet with a nice texture.
It's a sponge cake basically augmented with some Cognac or Rum used in its preparation and cocoa powder.
And the coffee is very good for you and your health, apparently.
Even better than the much overrated green tea which is bad for the liver in large doses.
The coffee shop was in a historic structure which I already mentioned once on the blog, but here goes again anyway.
