Everybody Has a Story - Day 9: Janson

Welcome home Janson!

Janson got home from an LDS mission in Taiwan just 2 1/2 weeks ago!

Of course, the first thing I wanted to know was what kind of interesting food he ate while he was there--apparently there are a lot of interesting things. For example, a duck egg that is just weeks away from hatching is boiled and served whole. Ick. According to Janson it's actually not too bad with a little salt, although one time he did get one with feathers. Ick. Ick.

Better yet is the egg that is soaked in horse urine for about a month and then boiled and served. Uber-ick. Janson didn't like that one so much. As Jeramy says, "Who actually comes up with these recipes?" Apparently someone creative and without taste buds.

His faves were the bread, sausage (both are sweeter than we have here), dumplings, and fruit.

Apart from the culinary experience, his mission was filled with wonderful people and experiences. An interesting one was named "Rosscamp"--everyone gives themselves English names. The problem was, nobody knew if that was one name or two. And the guy wouldn't tell them what his real name was because he said that he was a secret agent. So I'm wondering...if someone tells you they are a "secret agent", don't they have to kill you after telling you that?

If any of you went to Hillcrest, you probably remember that he was Student Body President. He will be attending BYU-I this fall and may run for student government there. He's majoring in business and would like to do something in international communications since he learned Mandarin Chinese on his mission. He is also looking for a job, so if you know of one, drop us a line at mail@freckletonphotography.com and we'll pass it on.

By the way (not that this is an on-line dating ad) Janson likes running, biking, hiking, and hanging out with friends. What a fun and super-cool dude...now on to the pics.



So we went in search of gigantic dumpsters but found this vintage RV--hey it's for sale for $4000 bucks if anyone is interested!




Finally--a shoot without rain!


We didn't intend for this to be another sessions with trains, but sometimes you gotta go with inspiration!




Thanks for a great sesh Janson!
