We could discuss argue about which camera or which format or which lens is the one blessed most by the holy saints of photography or we could just go out to various places and have fun making photographs that appeal, at least to use. I took a vacation and went to Montreal. Everyone told me it would be cold and bleak but of course it was sunny and temperate. I went to the markets and had fun making images of all kinds of food. Some of which I ate. I had a time restricted diet since I was only in town for seven days.... That's enough of a restriction for me.
I took a camera with me to the markets. And, of course a lens. Usually either a short zoom or a rangefinder 50mm. All of them were perfect choices. Now I'm back home and still going through the images and finding new stuff every day that I like. Now back in Austin. Went out with B. to El Alma Restaurant last evening. Ate fun stuff. Capped off dinner sharing the best presented and best tasting trés leché cake I've ever had. And I've had a fair number of samples.
Spring weather in central Texas. Hot, cold, wet, windy, humid and dry. All at once. Here is a selection of food images and related stuff that I really enjoyed looking at and tasting. That's all I can think of right now. Maybe I'll argue with you about obscure camera knowledge in the near future. Or not. You can never tell. Am I enjoying retirement? It's better than any other alternative. Off to dinner...
Court mandated donut break. Really.
They start shopping early in Canada...
I make my own pesto, but I'd buy a lot from that market. Oh, and I've ordered a new SCL-2 battery from Leica UK for £150, ($200 aprox).
ReplyDeleteThe colors and textures in these images are fabulous, Kirk. Did you get a tattoo at ArTisane Cafe?
ReplyDeleteI thought about a tattoo but then I thought of the stern disapproval I'd get from both my spouse and my dermatologist...That stopped me in my tracks.
DeleteSuch a nice presentation of the food! And appealing pictures.
ReplyDeleteDitto!
