for the love of the male


hi friends. happy monday!
lately i have been thinking a lot about what inspires me and have been taking a closer look at my own photography. i have noticed that a lot of my favorite food photographers have been male. there is something about the grittiness and the use of lights and darks that i like. they seem to be drawn to a darker, more neutral color pallet, which i really like as well. i try to achieve this in my own work, but it seems to come out much more sweet and girly. i guess there are certain things you just can't control and have to go with your own natural tendencies.

speaking of favorite male photographers, i LOVE the work of marcus nilsson. he often does the photographs for the road food column in gourmet magazine which i love. marcus embodies all the characteristics i described above and really inspires me.

on an entirely different note, i am off work today and decided to watch the martha stewart show. i think today's show was made for me. they dyed easter eggs with natural dyes, which i had just mentioned last week, and made two great breakfast recipes, ginger scones with cardamom and lemon-ricotta poppy seed pancakes. yum, i'll have to try those soon!
enjoy the rest of your day-i will!
