There is a Food Photography Clinic being put on by my good friends Rich Legg and Nicole Young
It’s Thursday at the SLC library 6:30 – 8pm
Here’s the post with more info
I was looking through some pictures to perhaps add to their discussion.
I know my style of food pictures is probably going to be different. Less diliberate more consequential of where I am at. Less product orientated and more to catch memories.
But I thought I’d share some favorites over the years.
Though most of my stuff comes from wedding gigs. This one was taken as I was sitting down for a meal in Italy.
Just kinda took a picture of what was happening
Wedding pictures are mainly done to preserve memories. Remember that awesome cheesecake we had at our wedding?
Well now this is perhaps the only real memory left… my picture.

I have begun my first print project ever.
I am starting off with 21 pictures from Europe.
They will be a limited edition series of 20 pictures each.
They are defaulted to be 11×14 prints
They are mounted with a nice solid backing
And they are all coated with a nice protective finish.
Each picture is individually signed electronically
It is done in photoshop (with a pen)
and numbered as part of the series.

This being the first time I try to sell individual prints
(instead of focusing on making money through events and weddings)
I am still trying to figure out a pricing strategy.
For now the Retail Price will be $95
(Which I know to be very low for this kind of work)
But starting off it is just fine for me and based on the economy in my immediate surroundings it can’t be too high.
The price will be raised when the prints become more scarce in the series.
If you are reading this blog then I will state that for the first little while I will offer them at $45
This will be available for the first 5 for any one picture in the series for a limited time. (at 11×14)
Look for another 20 images or so to be added to this European series sometime in the beginning of next year.

Where was I last summer?
Last year I went to Europe for 3 months.
I drove over 13,000 miles
Visited about 12 countries
Took over 50,000 pictures (over 500GB)
A couple hundred hours later…
It’s been about a year and I’ve just barely gone through all the pictures a couple of times
I’ve selected an average of 35 pictures a day.
I will be uploading a gallery for each day: some will have more than others and some none.
Some of them will be a real treat and others just OK
… there are many more that I took but I had to draw the line somewhere or I would be editing pictures from now until the end of time.
I’ve spent probably hundreds of hours working on going through all these and now editing I would appreciate to hear what you think.
