why salted herring

why salted her­ring? i come from fin­land, and i love her­ring. i love any kind of her­ring, salted, grilled, pick­led, smoked, plain, in mus­tard sauce, with dill, spiced with horse­rad­ish, you name it. but i’m crazy about salted her­ring that you buy at a candy store, in a small bag, the black salted licorice kind. so, what else could i ever name this blog, hmm, or maybe the blog is the red her­ring’?

salted her­ring blog

is about  mun­dane wan­der­ings with iggy, spiced with art and photography

from mid  sep­tem­ber 2009 salted her­ring has been blog­ging on dry land in cen­tral mex­ico. iggy is at home in san fran­cisco with sam.

who is irene stauffer

i’m artist, pho­tog­ra­pher, and nomad. i’m curi­ous of the life that sur­rounds us, let it be mun­dane or extrav­a­gant, there is a story to tell. my pas­sion is to tell this story visu­ally. i have won­der­ful hus­band, tuomo, and three fan­tas­tic and tal­ented chil­dren, susanne, kalle, and samuel. i live in san fran­cisco in lower haight neigh­bor­hood, where i pho­to­graph, do my artis­tic cre­ations, walk with iggy, and live my mun­dane life.

    Hi Irene. Very nice pic­tures you‘ve taken..

    I espe­cially like: rest­ing clown, gua­na­ju­ato, and was won­der­ing if it was pos­si­ble to get the pic­ture from you? I just wanna print it out and hang on my wall, noth­ing else.

    Hope to hear from you :-)

  2. Hi Thomas, I’m presently vagabond­ing. When I return back to stu­dio ( end of August ) and get to my files I’ll get back to you. How big of a print are you think­ing about? Salu­dos, i
