CE: Accordion Potatoes

Hello hello!

Back again with another image that I'm currently editing.
Haven't done anything to the image really so far except for cropping and adding text.

Don't think I plan on doing much more other than some spot removal on the background and playing around with the type. I'm not a fan of all the negative space in the bottom left corner, i'll probably add the recipe there or something. Once I finish I'll be sure to post the final image here and on my website.

Later days

Felisha & Kris Wedding Preview

Now I don't shoot weddings often; however, when it's a destination wedding to Punta Cana and it's a amazing couple like Felisha & Kris who can decline? It was an amazing trip with a lot of memorial moments one of which is that it was my birthday the same day as the wedding and the bride and groom decided to get the waiters to give me a lap dance.....like a said not your ordinary couple.

Anyways check out a few of the images bellow and a preview of the highlight reel. I'm still working on the images a full post should follow by next week.

Kris - Groom

Felisha - Bride

Danielle - Groomsmen/girl also my roommate from China

I didn't get a chance to go into town for long but did mangage to sneak off the resort for a bit on morning.

I think thats their president in the background

or someone trying to get elected, his face is everywhere :s 

Saw this kid baby we stopped by the church but didn't get a chance to 

take her photo, luckily we saw her again while passing by another church.

So Long 

I'm making waffles!

Had the day off today and woke up early because of the sunlight again. So I  decided to pull out the waffle marker I  just bought and have a quick shoot. Btw you know you have a strange sleeping patterns when your co-worker calls you at 10:00 a.m. and is very shocked to find out your actually awake at a decent hour of the day.......T_T Just to be clear I don't work night shifts I work 8:30 a.m. -4:30 p.m. 3 days a week. If you give me a day I will sleep the day away if I have nothing to do ^_^

Anyways still editing these photos and cleaning up, had a giant spill of maple syrup at the end of the shoot.....

Then I started stabbing blackberries for fun :)

Until next time

God took this photo.....

God took this photo.....

Okay maybe God didn't take this photo but he was my assistant ^_^
I'm not religious at all (let's be honestly I haven't been to church since I was 6, I'm now 21.....)I'm just messing with you guys, the reason why I said God was my "assistant" was because I needed some fill and both my reflectors are at friends houses, no foam core/corrugated plastic, and no aluminum foil....what the hell;however, thats when God came into my life and I remembered that there was a God Bless Our Home mirror hanging in my mums room and here we are. ^_^

Anyways crappy story over, this is one of the shots I took just now unedited. Once I combine my exposures and such I'll post the finish product. BTW  this was a spur of the moment shoot, was told not to go to work today since there was a power outage (why does this happen every year? :s) So I slept till 1:00 p.m., don't judge me, until the sun started glaring through the window and woke me up.

Not 100% what to call this dessert, let's just call it no bake cheesecake. All I had that was quick to prepare was cream cheese, chocolate, graham crackers, pecans, and sheered coconuts. THESE WERE THE INGREDIENTS CHOSEN TO MAKE THE PERFECT LITTLE DESSERT, BUT PROFESSOR KIDDY ACCIDENTALLY ADDED AAN EXTRA INGREDIENT TO THE CONCOCTION.....CHEMICAL X! THUS THE "NO BAKE CHEESECAKE" WAS BORN!!!........sorry but the Powerpuff Girls them popped into my head so I had to type that out *shame*

Anyways, there's a fashion shoot coming up Sunday bellow is a test of us working on hair and make up.

Until next time,

The Foot on my Neck

The man has his foot on my neck!! - The now daily saying in the office T_T

I've been pretty busy as of late Humber's Orientation week is coming up (next week) yeaaaah 6am start time!! T_T  We left the office @ 12:30 AM last Friday night (sorry had to katy perry that line) lol Can't wait for it to get started and for all the construction to be done and this potential strike stuff to end, way too much work to get completed.

Experimenting

A few things today: 

1. Shot Chocolate Macarons

2.Started playing around with text

3.Got my delivery of Vanilla Beans from France finally...(long story short cheaper on ebay then any store in Toronto, but there was a postal strike)

4.Got my new business card sample pack from MOO printer profiles a bit off need to adjust colour and change images

5.A few DIY  projects are going to start happening soon some of which are a camera slider and a soft box for my SB-900. Will be pretty easy once I round up supplies.
6.Started up a Vimeo (sp?) account the ex film student in me is starting to emerge *Kid Pix Voice* "OH NOOO!".....and yeah I think thats all for now -__-

Too warm in my place filling started to get soft :( 

Still taste good though :)

Macaron recipes pretty much all follow the same recipe give or take various flavours and colour this is the one I used this time but I aged my egg whites for around 3 or 4 days and used a different filling recipe the ends up pretty much the same. Also yeah there will be spelling, grammer and all sorts of errors in that recipe didn't really prof read....me no like english ^_^

Vanilla Beans smell so good! 

The tapes just there to hide my address because that's just dangerous lol 

A few of the sample cards. I can't figure out how to rotate at the moment :(

Currently editing: Raspberry Souffle

Well hello again wink wink nudge nudge.......
I've been told several times this week that I'm weird and to that I say weird or totally awesome!?.....
Seriously though yesterday I made a Raspberry Souffle whoot whoot! Way to hot to be in my kitchen though had a headache for like 5 hours pretty sure thats not normal...so the plan for this week was to do a shoot a day this week being themed desserts but today my brother took over my studio a.k.a my living room and refused to move because god forbid he couldn't go a day without playing Call of Duty on the big screen, dude shouldn't you be in summer school by the way? lol and I also got a call to go to North Campus tomorrow as well so not a lot of time to shot and make everything is there? It also doesn't help that some of the things I was planning to make was a: Raspberry Silk Cake, French Macarons, Ferrero Rocher Tarts and others....can't I ever just make cookies or something? ^_^

Yeah so here's one of the shots I'm currently editing so yeahhhh........
