New Week - Theme: Food!

Welcome back to the icy tundra, returning from the warm, sunny beaches of Mexico.  Don't worry though... we saved plenty of cold and snow for you!

I cheated a bit last week by repeating the theme, so I'll get the ball rolling here for this week.  How about making the theme, 'food'.

One of the 2 guys at the bakery where I work ( who, it should be noted, is very slim and rather buff) slipped accidentally into an unfortunate discussion about weight in a roomful of female co-workers.  To his credit, he quickly realized he was on a slippery slope and tried to redeem himself by saying he was talking about 'soul' weight and not actual poundage (still not sure this is any better).  So, he nicely decorated this hilarious cookie for me and all was forgotten!  :-)  Yes, I ate it.

HERE I AM NOW

You may remember this 70s nugget of wisdom. 
Easy to smile about, but not such bad advice after all.


So our theme for the week is HERE I AM NOW. I suggest we use only new images/videos, etc. to try to express where we are, right now.

Just noticed

my past two posts are very similar visually: color, proportion, placement. not sure if this is a coincidence or indicates an approach i have to composition or it's just the phase of the moon... 

our little project is helpful in showing these things - i also noticed I like to angle things a certain way, so i've been consciously trying to vary that. what do you think?


Your turn

Charming and downright educational vintage 'Orientation Film' for the Polaroid SX-70 camera





Polaroid SX-70 Orientation Film in HD (1972) - Polaroid Photography

Possibilities from the past can look just as amazing, tantalizing and inspirational today as they did in 1972!  Polaroids are really all about possibility and anticipation.  An idea so rooted in and dedicated to the potential of creativity can never truly disappear.
