plum(b)ing the depths

Posted in Inspiration, Kitchen Inspirations, tagged creativity, food, fruit, humor, Inspiration, Photography, plums, procrastination on September 6, 2012| 3 Comments »

One morning I purchased a single plum. It was an impulse buy. I haven’t eaten plums in years but I thought I might use the fruit as inspiration. In the end, it was my antidote for mounting procrastination. You see, I had a project due soon. Amazing how strong the urge to take a long walk when you need to stay seated and finish a writing assignment. I couldn’t go for a walk but …

… I decided I could rise from my chair on occasion and take a photo of the plum. I did so throughout the afternoon. No fine art produced but the movement was a release of sorts.

When I finished the writing assignment, I ate the plum, a final dose of a sweet treat that helped me stay focused just enough. I think I might buy an apple today!

And so, on occasion, a couple of bananas I do buy.

They are actually fun to photograph especially once their length is cut in half.

It’s the eating part that makes me pause and wrinkle my nose,

And secretly wish that the mouse in my house — I saw him last night —

Would eat the banana so that I wouldn’t have to at all.

like a field of fresh fallen snow

Posted in Inspiration, Kitchen Inspirations, tagged abstract, food, fruit, humor, Inspiration, Photography, still life on June 20, 2012| 2 Comments »

With temperatures suddenly rising into the 90s and expected to stay there for the next few days … well, I think that’s why I felt called to choose a white background today. Like a field of fresh fallen snow beneath spring fruit and flowers. Tomorrow I might photograph ice cubes.
