Phood-tography

When I first started this blog (a whole entire week ago) I simply wanted a place where I could post more photos without clogging up my facebook page and annoying all my 'friends'.

So here I am. :)


The back-story to this particular post......
Over a year ago I was paroosing the net and I googled 'good blogs' (real creative eh?), and came across The Pioneer Woman. I was just really getting into photoshop at the time and feel in love with her photography, photoshop skills and incredible humor. If you haven't read her blog, you MUST!

Here: www.thepioneerwoman.com try it!

The Pioneer Woman's real name is Ree Drummond and she hosts random photo assignments on her blog that her readers can participate in. Weeeeee! I love em! Her latest theme for said assignment was food.

EEK.

My first thought was this will be like food photos you see in cookbooks and magazines. I have never done that before, at least not successfully! But I gave it a whirl and submitted a few shots. I really didn't expect her to choose one of mine.

But she did!

I squealed.

I realized after looking at all the other photos submitted, that you can get creative with food and it can actually be kinda fun to photograph.

Here are two others I did for her assignment:

cocoa, sugar, & oatmeal.



popcorn.
(not sure I really needed to state that ;) )

After taking those photos, I decided to take a look back on some of my older shots and see what I could find.
And lo and behold, I have actually photographed food before and just never realized it.

My girls at the apple orchard this past fall.

Again.

Not food, but I'm counting it anyways. mmmmmk?
