Taking A Closer Look At: Perogies

I love perogies. They are the reason why I live! One day, I discovered on large bag of CHEEMO (it's a brand) perogies, and, well, I used only eight (I saved about 20, mmm). But I was in the mood, the lighting was serene, and my camera was at hand.
La Beurre
I'm not sure why, I particularily like this shot. It makes it seem like the butter has a life of it's own. And is about to die. Darn.

Sauté-ing
Just, sort of, an overview.

Les Perogies
I like 'em! It makes my perogies look like a family.

Taking An Eye To It
Air bubbles and perogy death.
Fin
Oi liked the light on this one.

>>All of these were shot with an ISO of 1600.

Salut!

No, I'm not in France, but that would be amazing. Anyways, sorry I've been off lately (again), I got sick with food poisoning (I believe it was from the hot sauce on my burrito).
HAPPY NEW YEAR! From The Life Of Pictures!

Happy Holidays from T.L.O.P!

Sorry I didn't get this post in earlier, I was tied up in a lot of the festivities. How was yours? Or if you don't have a holiday right now, dang.
Recently, I've been DJ'ing a lot, creating mixes etc. Sort of off topic, but what program(s) do the pros use? I've been using garageband, but recently got Live with a keyboard, but I have no idea how to use it. Got any ideas?

I think this is just a photograph for a resort, but the leveling is amazing. I'd love to be there!

Warholism.

Not exactly photography, but a spin-off of, is Andy Warhol. I find his works very ingenious of the time: the famous Mao, Marilyn Monroe, and his new form of art. I just find this next one entertaining.

If you look closely at the top right hand corner of the Banana, it says: "el slowly and see".
What is that supposed to mean?

First of my Own

Just some pictures I took one day when I felt like I wanted to just "capture" something. They aren't my best, just easy to get to files.


^A flower pot w/ flowers. I really liked the light angle from the window. Sepia'd.


^Vertical pot. Colour is boosted. Look at the glass at the top of the vase, the light is astounding. Colour is boosted.


^Bottom of the vase. There is something that just cought me about this. It seems as though it is a miniature sea of creatures and hiding.

Oldies

I think I'll start this blog off with a little retro/oldie photography.

"Maiden-hair fern"
Karl Blossfeldt (Date Unknown)
Courtesy Of: The Karl Blossfeldt estate.
It looks almost surreal; the plant looks like a fruit of the imagination. With the plain background, it makes the darkness feel like a rustic touch, something almost oriental.


"A Harvest Of Death"
Timothy O'Sullivan (July, 1863)
Courtesty Of: Unknown
An early work, this was in Gettysburg, Pensylvania. It seems as though we constantly try to mimic this powerful way of capturing an image today, when then, it was easy!


"The Bridge At Ipswich"
Alvin Langdon Coburn (C. 1904)
Courtesy Of: The Estate of Alvin Langdon Coburn
This picture is very "moody." It makes you think of the simple, minute essentials of life. It's beautiful the way the reflection captures almost a parallel universe.
