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.

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

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
