now, to eat! - #336 - December 13, 2007

Finally, I get to enjoy the fruit of my labor. The guacamole set has the recipe and step-by-step instructions.

I created this picture for the Epic Edits "Shoot Yourself" photo project. It's amazing how many shots I had to take to get one that looked halfway decent.

The setup is this: I placed a mirror against the backsplash behind my stove. The range hood has halogen lights in it, which provide the majority of the lighing. I then ducked down a bit and leaned into the light, grabbed the chip with guac, pointed the camera roughly at my nose, tried to get a natural expression on my face, and pushed the button. Then I would stand up, look at the camera, grimace because my aim was off, the lighting was wrong, or my expression was stupid. And then I'd try all over again.
