flattery


they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. i'm into it. i'm spending my evening watching bad tv, saveur magazines scattered beside me, computer in my lap, stalking other photogs' websites and playing with new and old photos. meanwhile i'm getting hungry.

and inspired.

lions and tigers and food, oh my


i remember the days of getting up and only thinking about taking pictures quite fondly. especially since there have really only been a handful of them. these days, i am busy raising two beautiful girls and working, but the urge to be creative is always there. having ideas and making them happen isn't usually easy. working on a personal project is often sabotaged by the buzzer on the dryer or a rumbling tummy or loses a battle against my need for sleep.

when i was offered the opportunity to take photos for my beloved employer, fish, i got really excited to pick up my camera and really nervous about how to do it. food photography turns out to be a stroll down a yellow brick road. i was terrified of a beast that sort of sat there, not trying to harm me at all. and it sits there. funny jokes, helpful directives, all wasted on an inanimate objects.

it's a work in progress. and a labor of love.
