It’s hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that I started this blog nine years ago. One of my first posts was a recipe for quiche. I think I was still using a pink, pocket-size Canon Powershot. The recipe is the same, and spinach quiche is still a favorite meal around here, but so much has changed over the years. That blog post looks ancient!
Today I had a friend over for lunch and we both enjoyed this meal - between the two of us we ate half the quiche. She’s taking a beginning photography class and asked me if someday I’d be willing to show her my process for taking food shots - my lenses, lighting tips, props, etc. We had the time, so I got to work. The quiche was an available subject but it wasn’t serious work. I was surprised 20 minutes later to see that the casual shots turned out quite well, crumbs and all.
