Damaged Box

Once a month I place an order with an online business called Melaleuca.  They sell healthy products:

shampoos, house cleaning items, weight loss items, snacks, etc.

This box was waiting for me yesterday at my door.  I've never received a damaged box from them before~~it was probably the delivery system.

Before I opened it I took a photo of it just in case any of the items inside were damaged, but they weren't thankfully.

Items in a Box

Several years ago I became interested in this concept of putting items in these boxes because I wanted to do my grand kids in the boxes.  I practiced with these still life items before I photographed the kids.

I found this image in my files.  (the kiddos in the boxes came out really good)

I didn't do kids in a box this year~~my daughter just had a baby late in the year and the weather didn't cooperate much.  Hopefully I'll be able to do a photo in the spring.

Curious Goat

While doing a session for "kids in a box", this goat had to see what was going on.  

My heart is grateful for:

Practice

I've been reading a book about food photography, so today I finally decided to do some practice.  The book has some great suggestions that have enabled me to work without having to schlep all the equipment and props outside, only to deal with wind/bugs/uneven light.

It was fun.  Now I just have to get motivated to do some cooking so I can have some subjects to photograph.  That will be the hardest part!
