I had the pleasure of drinking Ranger Creek .36 Texas Bourbon for the first time this week. Here is a picture I took for an upcoming post on the Whiskey.

This week's photo (5/52).

Like most photos in this project I had other ideas during the week but ran out of time and had to scramble on Sunday. Being Super Bowl weekend I had some of my favorite local beer in the fridge and decided to shoot that. I spent 90 minutes on this shot and the best part was.... Drinking it!

This was actually more difficult to get setup than I originally thought but I am very happy with the final result. I still have a good amount of sugar to sweep up off the floor..

Photo 3 of my 52 week project.

Tilt shift photos are always fun since they allow you to stretch the creative boundaries to make photos that look surreal. I have been photographing Longhorn basketball games lately and I went upstairs during halftime with the intention of getting a shot for this project. It looked good as a tilt shift but the addition of my hand helped drive home the miniature feeling. There was actually a fair amount of work that went into the details.

Here is the second photo of my 52 week challenge. My original idea was to cut a green apple, red apple and an orange in slices and stack them together but my culinary skills were a bit off and it didn’t look like what I imagined.

I had to come up with a plan B and fortunately my wife just bought some raspberries so I put them in a little measuring bowl and took this. This was the only angle that made the photo interesting.
