“Cazuela” was taken in the afternoon in October 30th 2011. My wife Elizabeth and I had traveled to Ecuador, my country of origin to visit family and friends and relax at the beach in Playas one of the many beautiful towns populating the coast of Ecuador. Our friends convinced us to try a typical dish called cazuela, named after the clay dish it is served in. Elizabeth and I were initially a little apprehensive due to the fact that it was prepared in a very “folkloric” facility (street food). We decided to try it, and it was delicious. I snapped a photograph in the same style I use for the pictures I take to promote the restaurant through social media here in the USA. Trying to emphasize the texture and color of the main protein in the dish while letting other ingredients fade out of focus, kind of the same way they would in your mouth after you take a bite.
