Vacation, All I Ever Wanted

April 16, 2012 by Jennie | 3 comments

Joel and I spent the weekend in Ocean Shores.

With the exception of a couple treats that I posted on Instagram, I took exactly one picture of food, and that was at breakfast on Friday before we’d even left Seattle city limits.

Joel: “Are you taking a picture of your half-eaten omelette?”
Me: “No, that would be weird.”
Joel: “Yes, you are. I saw you posing that bite on your fork.”
Me: “No! That would be weird.”

After months of shooting indoors, with 90% of my subjects being my food (and the other 10% being my cats), I decided to leave my camera untouched when we sat down to eat and focus on enjoying my meals. The rest of the weekend was for playing on the beach and going on hikes, taking pictures all the while.

Here are a few of my favorites.

Blame Canada

Sorry, readers, (or perhaps I should say sore-y) but I don’t have a proper post for you today. GFBF and I got home late last night from a three-day weekend in Victoria, BC, so instead I am subjecting you to a few photos from my vacation. Enjoy.20110821-102524.jpg20110821-102542.jpg20110821-102637.jpg20110821-102801.jpg

I’ll be back tomorrow to talk about traveling gluten-free. Until then!

Behold! The Cat To End All Cats©

July 26, 2011 by Joel | 1 comment

Come dear patrons, rest thine eyes upon the succulent juices of the cat who is called… Eggs.

Also, please take note of the box in which he rests. This fine container is not only suitable for withholding the majesty of cats, it also serves as a box which you place items to photograph, then purposefully direct light towards the tissue paper covered fistulas on the sides and top of said box. This light is then dispersed evenly inside the aforementioned box, blanketing whatever shall be contained in a soft evenly dispersed blanket of light. This contraption is called a Box With Which To Put Things In With Light Coming From Three Sides So They Look Good On Camera, or as I call it: Light Box©.

You may be wondering by now what god I’ve stolen this mystical device from. You may be picturing me climbing down from the peaks of Mt Olympus, muscly arms glistening with sweat and glory. In one hand I clasp the Light Box©, in the other a team of handicapped orphans saved from their impossibly terrifying fate in the jaws of the great and mighty Ares.

“NOT THIS TIME, ARES!” I scream into the thundering darkness, “you can go to Valhalla!”

But, dear readers, you’re dead wrong.

This box was crafted by the talented and beautiful Jennie, the GfGf herself! Marvel at it, I dare you!
