I love these pictures. I really liked how they were sepia and not normal colors. I think that by making them sepia, they become more than just photos of food.
Clearly I see food in these photos. I don’t seem to see a certain connection within the photos other than they are all of food…Other than making me hungry, these photos evoked a response of socializing. I think because eating is such a social event, I felt this way. I think that it is interesting to view your photo set as more than just food, and also a social interaction. Since all of the food is different, its hard to make any other connections. Perhaps it might be cool to have a photo or two of some food that has been partially eaten?
Ah! I didn't even think of that...great idea!! In my little bubble of friends, we do make food a social affair, somewhere in the arena of extravaganza. I honestly didn't see that connection in the photos until you said so, but that was insanely insightful. There's some work to be done with these, or maybe just room to play around a bit. I'm almost certain they'll change before the final due date. Thanks for the excellent idea!! :)
I'm not sure whether we're supposed to be submitting these as blog entries, or as hard copies for class. So, I'm just going to do both.
I love the food idea that you've chosen! But I'll have to disagree with Scott on the filter you chose for these. I feel like it flattens out the color, and makes everything look a little bit more bland than it ought to be. Maybe you could find a different filter that would make the colors pop a little bit?
They remind me of something that one might see on a restaurant menu at a diner. I know that food photography is a pretty important business in the professional world of taking pictures, so I might suggest looking at some menus when you go out to eat to see what kind of technique they use in their photos. Then you can expand this collection and make it even more mouth watering!
great shots, i am interested to see the paper. I would like to know the knife and fork on the pizza shot not the broccoli plate? do you eat pizza that way? lol? Are these your foods of choice?
I like your narrative. I'll be interested to see how you tie in the limes, beer, and finally the chocolate, which is how every good meal should end. As a reader, I was pulled into the story by your colloquial style, i.e. "jonessing for coffee.". Sounds like just the sort of 'list' that a working day starts with. One thing that was confusing: why does Miranda meet you at the door with a pan of eggs? She's bringing them to the store already cooked? Also, why don't you know the customers well? At first it seems like you've worked here a long time. I like the title to your piece. People can relate to the humor and slight sarcasm. The Asian sauce is an intriguing detail, and adds interest to the story and visuals, because it's different than the other pics. It was a cool idea to let the pics determine the story. So, where do you think you'll take the ending? Will you end with an 'quitting time' scenario?
Whitney,
