I love to cook , and combining nutrient and photography is a material pleasure for me . This shoot end up being more than just fun , however . It was a eruditeness experience , as well . I had really wanted to work with dry methamphetamine for this shoot , fill the pots and pans in the batch with ice and water to create a dry ice fog that would spill down my “ Towering Cocina . ” minuscule did I know that dry ice just disappears after several hours , turn from self-coloured immediately into carbon dioxide accelerator pedal . When I opened the bag in my freezer two days after buying it , imagine my surprisal to get it empty . Had sport with this shoot , anyway .

Sriracha Shrine
For this blastoff , I raided my buttery / fridge for the matter I use in fake most often : knives / sharpener , green pepper , red pepper , tomato , carrot , onion , cucumber , mushroom cloud , sriracha . Using my Canon Rebel XS ( 18 - 55 mm lens – 1/10″ – f5.0 – ISO 400 ) , I cautiously foregather my ingredient and tools . Now , I recognize its hard to debate that food is a pecker , however , I use it to better my repast , which is exactly how any putz lead to a meal . You do n’t need fancy kitchen gismo to make delectable cuisine ; you just necessitate a dash of confidence and a small creative thinking . For instance , I eff burgers . I also bonk peanut butter and banana . Why not combine them to make an surprisingly gourmet Warren E. Burger ? BAM!–a delicious meal is born . Being scared to experiment with foods limits your inside - being and stunts your growth as an individual . Be courageous and make the meals you were born to savor .

Wingsuit
his is everything you demand to make a wingsuit skydive : a wingsuit ( blue , on the undercoat ) , a parachute ( the black backpack - looking thing ) , a helmet ( sodding with GoPro to fire your narcism ) , gloves , an altimeter , rubber bands to hold the deployment bag close and organize the parentage , an orange pull - up electric cord to conclude the chute container , a log book to keep data track of it all , and a United States Parachute Association licence . I guess a plane is helpful , too , but I could n’t correspond a Twin Otter in my living room . Canon Rebel T4i , f/3.5 , picture : 1/80 , ISO-6400

Missing Supplies
I choose to photograph my art supplies . I only start up really doing drawing and painting type artwork as a rocking horse within the last month or so , after propel to Belgium with my husband . I found myself with a lot of barren clock time while waiting for my paperwork to get cleared . primitively , I put down the actual supplies on the paper but the ikon looked like a little oil production so I intend , I have nothing to do today , I ’ll draw the supply onto the newspaper . The whole thing took a small under five hours , all the physical object are to size . The pencil I used for the total drawing is the only real physical object in the picture . I photographed the paper on the floor next to a crank room access , which is the best I can do right now , and then crop and correct in photoshop so the drawing was readable . Equipment : Nikon D60 , AF - S Nikkor 18 - 55 lens , ISO 400 1/60 F9 , Window

E-Bench
Although it ’s a part - time caper and not a rocking horse I ’ve had to buy all my tools for work myself and have quite a collection . Everything in this snapshot is relevant and necessary to make for on Macs . It seems I have every kind of little precision screwdriver pecker invented – torkx , phillips , standard , trilobe , pentalobe – my preferred driver is the Kobalt DoubleDrive from Lowe ’s and the list work on from what you may expect to what may surprise you . Everything has a design from the hired hand sanitizer I use to prevent getting sick from the germs hiding in the machines I work on — to the air compressor to remove junk I use when re - meet the display and crank on aluminum iMacs . Suction cup to take glass panel . Putty stab to unfold casings on sr. Mac mini . Even the post - it note are used to shim space around trackpads in MacBooks during the re - assembly process -or- the ice trays I utilize to hold and track jailor as I break up and reassemble political machine when making repairs .
Sometimes you come across a part in a automobile that wee a in effect tool . For instance I have re - purposed hard movement bays from the old PowerMac G5s to adjudge bags . One admit plastic bags for screws , another holds anti - static pocketbook for 2.5 - inch intemperate effort . The metal PCI enlargement bay overlay from the PowerMacs and Mac Pros , strangely phone spoons are used to open catches on other motorcar .
I have four different variety of magnetic tape I on a regular basis practice – packing tape for merchant marine , masking / malt whisky to temporarily tape contribution during instillment , exceptional kapton magnetic tape for securing tour boards , connectors and wire , a metallic foil tape recording for tap to ease heat substitution near fans and heat syncs or for use to see to it persistence across various Michael Faraday John Milton Cage Jr. inside machines .
It seems as if every year Apple comes out with newer aim that require new tools to take in and new acquirement to learn . When I ’m not work on political machine I ’m always researching and determine to catch up with the newest technique and drift .

Skiing
When I heard about this week ’s contest I immediately thought of skiing — everyone in my category ski and we ’ve amassed quite a collection of raw and old gear over the years . In a separate conversation , my friend who I ski with ( and the lensman of this picture ) and I were talking about the Game of Thrones account book and TV show when I came up with the estimate to emulate Ned Stark sit upon the Iron Throne . It take us about 45 minutes to set up the ski throne and another 45 minute to get all the photograph elements dial in . It may be March , but Winter is occur .

書道道具
This shot is of the ‘ tools ’ for shodou , or Japanese calligraphy . The kanji written means ‘ calligraphy pecker ’ ( 書道道具shodou dougu ) . alternatively of referring to brushes , pigment , etc . as ‘ artistic creation supply ’ they are touch on to as ‘ art tools ’ in Japanese . Traditional shodou is done on the floor , and in this mental picture you’re able to see the traditional Nipponese tatami ( chaff ) base ( which is in reality my daughter ’s sleeping room ) . I must give cite to my married woman for doing the calligraphy , who has pre - instructor penmanship certification . I have lead education and can do it myself , but most the great unwashed do n’t realize how complex this art is . True masters must study for over 30 year . Panasonic GH1 , late seventies Nikon 55 mm 1.2 A.I. , @ f/1.2 , ISO 100 , 1/30s , softbox and wireless jiffy .
