February 5th:  "Food"

The prompt for the day is "Food".  

So many of you might think that this would be an easy challenge for people.  After all, food crosses our path several times a day.  But for me, this is probably my most difficult.  Not because I can't photograph food, but instead because my Italian-German food loving side of me has to remember to take a picture of the lovely food before I devour it.  As you can see, this was not all that successful.  Even when you know it is your kryptonite and you remind your whole family to "not" let you eat the food before taking a picture.  And yes, knowing me they look at me like I'm crazy.  So, without fail, food comes.  Everyone is focused on their own yumminess and I begin to eat my delicious food.  I quickly stop and bust out laughing as I suddenly remember.  No one could help but laugh at me for doing the exact thing I said I didn't want to do only 5 minutes before.  Que sera, sera!  But it was yummy and I stand by my choice.  Maybe it should have been labelled "food crumbs" for this challenge and I would have done better.  I hope you are all better at abstaining from letting your stomach rule your picture taking. I wish you luck!
 
So what kind of deliciousness will cross your path today for our "Food" photo challenge?  We would love to see your photographs, even if they are slightly eaten.  We don't judge here.  There are really no boundaries for this challenge so get as simple or creative as you like.  You can take these prompts as literal, abstract, or creatively as heart desires.  There are no right and wrongs in art, just personal growth and meanings.  We would love to see a huge variety of interpretations from everyone.  You can use you cameras, phones, devices, etc.  Feel free to use straight out of camera photos, edits, filters, or compositions.  Where ever your creative mind takes you, we would love to see and share in your journey this month. 

So what inspires you?  Have any favorite comfort foods that bring you joy?  Share yours with us, we would love to see and hear from you! 

You can post your images to our blog under comments or to our facebook page:  www.facebook.com/CJphotography.OH under the individual posts for each day/category.  You can also post on instagram and tag us @cjphotographyllc, so we can see your creative works.  Hashtag your photos: #cjphotochallenge1 so everyone can find them.  Don't forget to "Like" and "Follow" our pages so you can see all of the updates.  This is all about encouraging others, having fun, and growing our skills.  Feel free to show your appreciation to others works by leaving nice comments for them.
