Makeshift studio, broken lamps and lots of rice

Our friend Mohammed invited us over for a dinner party last night. Of course, when there are three photographers in a small room together, things can get chaotic really really fast. Think of a pack of wolves cross-bred with piranhas and then starved for several days...that's kind of what it was like. After dinner, we found out that Mohammed's kitchen light made for a great studio lighting situation. Unfortunately, the dome on the lamp fell to the floor and shattered, thereby ending our photo shoot. It was a true cultural evening. We had people from Germany, Iraq, Turkey, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and France! Here are a few shots from the evening.
