BAKE-A-THON

So today I was on a baking spree, don't ask me why, there wasn't any particular reason why I decided to start baking like a maniac.

I baked lemon-poppy seed bread,


white chocolate chip cookies,


raspberry oat bars,


banana muffins,


and two types of cheesecakes (graham cracker crust and chocolate crust).

I guess that I might have decided to bake because of the photo assignment due on Monday: Simple and Complex. For my simple photographs I decided to take photos of individual baking ingredients: sugar, honey, eggs, milk, white chocolate chips, and flour, in natural light from the kitchen window set on a black background. For the complex photographs I decided to take photos of the"complex" baked goods I made throughout the day: white chocolate chip cookies, banana muffins, raspberry bars, cheesecake, and lemon-poppy seed bread.

These are some of the photos I am thinking about using for "Simple".




I need to shoot some new photos and re-shoot others for the "Complex" series because I lost the ideal lighting as it got later in the day. I need to get up early again tomorrow and hope for good light two days in a row. I plan to print and mount my photos tomorrow so I can spend the rest of the weekend working on my paintings and my web site HTML/CSS.
