I have been playing around with a new Trademark on my photos.
The first one is the the small one Name tagging just on the left side below.
Watermark JaapWillem Small
The other trademark is a big adjustment with my name on it with a crystal type banner.
Watermark JaapWillem.com Large
Which one do you prefer?
Tamales Plate
Nopales Plate Close up
This is one of the most delicious plates for me in the Mexican cuisine.
Tamales are based upon corn with a Corn Dough and a Corn Skill, like almost 75% of the Mexican kitchen.
Furthermore they’re stiffed with various ingredients, like peppers, chicken or anything else you would like. After stiffing the Corn you should cook the tamales for at least 1 hour before the Tamale is ready.
Nopales are vegetables picked from a Cactus with for me a small comparisation with beans.
Only they are slightly more sour then these. Normally you can prepare them with cooking for a little time and mix them together with a few ingredients, for example peppers, tomatoes and Tamales 
…
If you are in Mexico you really should try it, if you’re somewhere else, good luck with finding one in a very mexican restaurant or shop.
These photos of Tamales and Nopales are edited within the Adobe Lightroom program and I’ve used only the adjustments sliders.
Red Strawberries, originally uploaded by Jaap Willem.
In this picture I’ve tried to keep the red color while making the other colors a bit pale. As a result in my opinion I was able to to create a vintage look in the photo, while keeping the most important thing, the strawberries in focus.
This Red Strawberry picture have been edited purely in Lightroom, while I’m playing around with the color sliders the generate the different kinds of colors.
Please let me know what you think of this one and stay tuned for some more pictures this week on Jaap Willem Flickr Photostream.
