Almost THERE

I ventured out to the distillery last week with half my photo class and when I got home to see the pictures - I must admit I was pretty impressed with my little D40. I even showed the husband who agreed and my mom and some co workers. I felt great. Then I take them off to class last night for a showing and it was a bit of a let down. Some people had great pictures and others not so much but I guess I had built mine up so much that I was ready for a great reception. Didn't happen. I still love my photo's but I guess it just reinforces that I have a ways to go until I'm THERE.

I can dream while I sit her in my cubicle thinking of better days ahead. Chin up - it's still Christmas.

The Basic Ingredients

This seems like the right time of the year to start a photoblog about food. Tis the season to gain 5 lbs. Since I'm just starting out with my food photography adventure - seems appropriate to start with the basics - you know - flour, butter, eggs..

I've got a couple ideas for some future shoots. My kitchen needs a little cleaning first after my pomegranate experience last week. Will post that epic story tomorrow.
For now, lets enjoy the simplicity of butter... the food that makes other foods worth eating. (sorry bacon)
