My own food portfolio, perhaps.
My wonderful wife is out of town for work this week, and since I would normally spend time hanging out with her rather than doing anything else, I decided that I needed to break the boredom and keep me out of the fridge. There’s only so much Olympics you can watch, and its rare that we find an episode of Law And Order (R.I.P. Lenny) that we haven’t already seen.
A month or so ago I ran across an online pamphlet for Phase One titled "The Food Portfolio" and I really wanted to try to re-create some shots from there as well as some other still life shots I’ve seen in the last months. These don’t really do justice to the original shot, and I obviously don’t have my own $30,000 Phase One digital setup (yet), but I feel like I did pretty well. Here is a link to the original.
I will be trying some other shots in the next day or so, or perhaps some I’ve saved in my flickr as favorites from other people. Some of the shots in the food portfolio look rather messy, so we’ll see how that goes. Liz comes home Friday so I should try to have the house restored at least close to a cleanish condition.
