Shoot, cook, eat


My food obsessed days are far behind me and my waistline and blood pressure have benefitted tremendously as a result. Thankfully, I can still cook reasonably well — like riding a bike, I guess — it’s just that my interests now tilt toward preparing healthy and simple dishes with fresh ingredients. These miniature eggplants, each about the size of a grape or cherry tomato, immediately caught my eye at the farmers market yesterday. I’ve never seen anything like them, so, before prepping them for dinner I decided to record them for posterity. The aqua box and red netting contrasted nicely with the purple of the eggplant. And by the way, they were quite delicious sautéed in olive oil with garlic and green onion also from the farmers market.

I hope you have good light and many opportunities to shoot this weekend.
