Food, Photography and maybe more…
Gridskipper used one of my San Francisco pictures for a review on Bix. I’m tickled they used this shot. Good times in San Francisco with Susan and Tom. Sometimes I’ve toyed with the idea of doing some freelance photography for newspapers and magazines. Then I would have to invest in a decent camera, at least 7 megapixels, and make an effort at shooting from a reporter’s prespective. I’d have to find scenes, objects and compositions that tell a story. A good one. That could kill the joy in snapping pictures of moments I want to remember. We bought our Canon Elph for our Eurotrip and I’ve used it in a free-form fashion. I try to take a good picture, without shaking and paying attention to lighting. But beyond those concerns, photography is more subconscious thing for me.
For now, I’m happy when my pictures get picked up for online publications. Someday, I’ll re-consider plunging into freelance photography for pay.
This is a good example of taking a picture to capture a moment. This is my take on an ediets recipe for Cuban beans and rice. I’ve added smoked sausages to this dish….because I was in a meaty mood. It’s quite filling and it makes great leftovers. I first used this picture for a group I joined at work. Each of us dumped $20.00 into a pot and the person who lost those most weight by next Feb 2007, takes home all of the cash. We started up a group web site with motivational quotes, goals and healthy recipes. This dish is pretty healthy, as long as you don’t add the meat.
