Project 365/26: This is life, not art. It's my actual dinner. Dan makes a very tasty chili. I know most people here in the vast midwestern wasteland eat chili with crackers or macaroni or cornbread. Being Asian and from Hawaii, I really didn't think there was any other way to eat it other than over rice. I guess this is also practice for this week's DPS assignment, "Still Life: Food" for which I will need something more photogenic than tasty.

I think this dish is perfectly photogenic. The contrast of chili with the rice and again with the cheese looks good to me. It just needs a little more light, maybe.

(Please remember I know squat about photography. I'm just giving my uneducated opinion!)

Lighting is a real issue in my house, for life and photography both. So I am thinking you are probably right!

You may not care, but Pioneer Woman had a great post on how to photograph food, in case you wanted tips. It might be too late for the Still Life: Food assignment, but that might come up again.

I never did get my act together for the DPS Food assignment, but that is a great post from Pioneer Woman - thanks for sharing!

Or possibly annoyed because my photographic experiments made him look prematurely grey. I need to work on getting some better...

For an AKC Champion with a "look at meeeeeeeeeeeeee!" attitude, he sure is not very photogenic much of the time. Freya is demanding equal time,...
