I am back to working on the Middle Earthish project, but Photobucket has been a major PITA lately and I've had difficulty getting then to honor their end of the bargain after taking my recurring payment. This is the first test run of photo hosting since all of that began, so I'll see how things go now.

I'm testing the lighting in the new area I am working in, and a pot of vegetable soup is one way I like to check how colors pop. This is the pot of soup I put on last night.

The story of how this thread got it's title can be found here in this blog post.

Looks delicious Mist. Keep them coming!


Thank you Nathan, there is more coming. I hate that it took me so long to get back to it but life has been really complicated since Lisa and I split up in January. Just the divorce and trying to keep Alayna's life as stable as possible in the process took up a lot of space in my head, but then there was me quitting smoking and and fearing being around the pipes and tobacco, and me losing weight and fear of being around that much food lol. Then in June I messed up my leg really bad and uneven ground has been extremely painful until recently. But I think Alayna is settling into things now, and seeing me happier and healthier has been helpful in her understanding why things needed to change. This is the first time I've been in a good enough mood to actually make a pot of soup, much less photograph it since 2013 in Michigan. The leg is feeling a bit better now. I haven't had a cigarette in over 9 months and don't crave them, even when I'm around smokers smoking. And I have figured out a system for using the foods as my regular meals now rather than as something extra. I've lost over 70 pounds and I do not want to gain that back.

Now that I have finally gotten my head back, and have had some very special friends help with inspirations, and had someone very special help with unlocking my heart again, I've been back to doing a lot of experiments recently with lighting and color.

Alayna and i went foraging this weekend. First time in the woods in months. The ankle hurt like hell afterwards, but it didn't throb that night when I laid down so I was able to skip the NSAIDs which was a nice change. She loves persimmons and muscadines.

So...not really up to running races again yet, but back in the saddle again at least. You'll be seeing something familiar pop up soon :)

...

yea!

and the photo's in "The Road to Friday" works again

Thank goodness!! That is the exact reason I didn't just give up the fight and go with Fotki. I had paid for the services and I was really hoping for them to hold up their end of the bargain. I was going to re-write that through Fotki if I had to, but I didn't want to if I could avoid it and shouldn't have had too.


Good to see you returning to your project Mist :)

Bill

Thank you Bill, it was a rough year, but I think I have a handle on things again now :)

Thanks Douglas, it's nice finally having my head back and my feeling my heart again :) The Gaucho is a fantastic model, probably my overall fav Fiddleback all things considered. It's the perfect time of year for soup too. Man I love Autumn!!
 
I’m glad to hear your doing better and getting back out in the woods. Looks like Alayna is growing up on you, mine are too. Good luck going forward.
 
Good to see you back!

I have to say I can't even imagine the effort and time it took to put something like that together. Having to stop all the time to photograph and rinse and repeat. I'd be too hungry to do that. Thanks for taking the effort!
 
Wonderful post and pics as usual Brian. Was missing your posts.

As always, good to see you & Alayna back. I’m sure you’ll be back to 100% soon.
 
Really was missing your posts and pictures! Glad to see you back and good luck with everything.


Thanks man, I'm glad you enjoy them, I'm glad to have my head back for doing them!


Thanks for sharing the nice photos buddy. Hope you continue to heal well, inside and out.

Thanks brother, healing has been a long term process...because the problems go back a lot farther than I will ever discuss I suppose, but it is nice feeling happy again for a change after so long of not. I hope all has been going well your way man.

Uneven ground is still pretty painful at the moment, so it's slow go, but being back in forward motion again is nice :)

Yes...she is growing up too fast and throwing words like "my crush" around a little too nonchalantly for my liking...


Good to see you back!

Thanks man!! It's really not all that bad...or for me anyway since i do so much of this sort of thing professionally for different venues. Mostly it's about having a place to set the device down and quickly clean hands to take the shots then getting back to the next step. I am setting up my current temp kitchen as also a photo studio with natural lighting on one side and with the window, and LED lights (so far) in this area, so I needed to check the colors. I do tend to nibble a little here and there, as does Alayna lol.

Thank you Abe, it's nice to know I was missed, but even better to be back, I'm glad you enjoyed the post! I hope all is well in the land of Oz?
