Some Kitchen Fun

I've posted quite a few food pics so far (in case you haven't noticed), but what I haven't posted is where all these dishes are made. Even though the kitchen is my favorite room in the house, I still don't have any shots of it that I really like yet. I'll need to spend some more time on that eventually.

Since the camera is practically a permanent attachment on my arm, I obviously have taken quite a few random shots of just about everything, and the kitchen is no exception. Here are a few...

Stir-Fry for breakfast? - North Bay Food Photography

Pretty much every day of the week, I have the exact same thing for breakfast (I'll post a pic of that some other time). So when something different gets on the plate in the morning, I of course have to take out the camera and snap a few shots. I don't have time to say much more about it now, so here are the pics...

Not So Good For Your Appetite

No good food to post today. lunch consisted mostly of old, dry KD, so I had no interest in pulling out the camera. I did receive a few interesting suggestions for pictures though.  The idea is was to photograph something dead, or rotten, and somehow make it look nice. I think this could make for some pretty interesting shots, and I'll need a bit of planning for the visuals that first came to mind when I read the suggestions.  I'm not too sure if I'm ready to have things rotting in my house for weeks before they're at the point I want them to be for the photos. I might have to wait until summer for this project, so I can let things rot outside. hah.

In the meantime, I do already have some shots of rotten things, which I took for no good reason really.  One is a fish I happened to see on the beach one day, and the other is a dead, dried up cactus we had in the house a while back. The cactus looked like some strange sea creature to me, so I tried to take the shot in a way that would make it look like it was on the move.  These shots are not necessarily appealing, or nice to look at in any way, but they're somewhat related to the requested theme, so they'll remind me to follow through with what I have in mind for taking something disgusting and making it look appealing. Here they are...

Shooting The Brothers Humble - North Bay Photography

A few months back, I took a few headshots of buddy Michael B Humble for use in promotion of "The Lake" (one of our Somerset Productions projects). There were definitely some goofy shots in there, but in the end, we did end up with some nice ones too.

Today, Mike's little bro Ryan came by for a few headshots of his own.  He recently got his real estate license, and starts his first job on monday. So he needed more of a simple, corporate shot to use in his self promotion. Good luck with the new career Ryan!

here are a few shots of the bros...

Who Likes Eggplant Anyway?

Lots of people like it apparently.  I'm generally not one of them, and there are two main reasons for that:

1) the soggy texture of cooked eggplant grosses me out.

2) I'm a little weird, and there are a few words that I really don't like (ok, many words) to the point where they almost put me in a bad mood when I hear them. It makes no sense, and I can't explain why, but some of the words at the top of my 'hate list' are:
- Pumpernickel
- Cliché
- Verbage
- Couch (when used as a verb)
- and of course... Eggplant

Anyway, where I'm going with this is that I've finally had something with eggplant in it that I actually really liked. An eggplant soup with ground beef, tomatoes, celery and more... thick, chunky, and deeeelicious! I guess I'm not quite done with my food picture phase just yet.
