Boo Boston!

Tonight’s dinner was tarragon chicken, (too) creamy garlic mashed potatoes, and asparagus.

I need to figure out how to give more details to object that don’t have distinct edges (like tonight’s mashed potatoes).

If you’re getting bored of the food photography, I’m going on a week long road/camping trip next week. I’m sure I’ll come back with plenty of awesome out in the field photos.

I was really in the mood for some crepes this morning instead of my usual grilled cheese. Made these with some strawberry preserves and fresh blackberries.

I need to figure out a way to better reflect some light onto the foreground. Right now I’m just shooting light through a diffuser slightly from the back, but I need to get the front out of the shadows. This will be something I can work on figuring out this week…

Tonight’s dish was turkey chili with black beans and Spanish rice.

I could have lit the chili better, it’s much darker than I would have liked. I’ll work on that for next time.

We are also camping at this beach in Key West for two nights.  As long as we prepare well for bugs this is going to be amazing.

Also can’t wait to look at the stars while camping in two weeks!  Apparently this park is super dark and perfect for star gazing.  Let’s hope I don’t get eatin by a croc while lying on my back enjoying the night sky.

Going camping here in two weeks.  Cannot wait!
