Description
We had alot of different Root Vegetables with Falaffel and Chicken and Humus for the Saturday Dinner with our family :) This shot is taken of the Roots, before we, added spices and Leeks and baked them in the oven.
Amit, our oldest son brought the falaffel and the Humus. He is an excellent Home Cook and I am so proud of him. Amit is mostly the one that is cooking in his family, but his work is with Website Solutions and programming. I am very proud of both my sons, but this time our younger son, Dennis wasnt here. He had to work all the weekend.
Dennis is married to his work. He simply loved it the first time he tried it as a school boy in Job practizing and he worked on the college for that purpose. He is now a leader of the dry food section of a big Supermarket and has always, in his almost 20 years there, solved computer problems there too, as he is also a computer nerd. He refuses to go higher up on the seniority, because then he would have to sit and get fat in the office, instead of the daily life in the supermarket, that he loves so much. I fully understand him.
Amit is the son of my first marriage and he and Dennis met eachother the first time a little over 20 years ago, for a reason, I shall not go into now and they love eachother very much. I feel very blessed having them together and Per treats Amit, as if he was his own son and his kids, as if they his own grandkids. And they love Per back. ..............So here you got a little about our sons :)
Have a beautiful new week. Weather is windy cloudy and 7 C.... brrrr!
Thank you for your visit :)

This is so colorful and delicious looking, Helle! I'll bet it was delicious, too.
I've often thought it would be fun to be a commercial food photographer. You don't have to direct carrots or celery, and you don't have to get a model release from a stuffed pepper. The pork chops aren't going to complain about sitting under hot studio lights, and the glazed ham doesn't need a smoke break. It's probably already smoked...
I'm just afraid I'd end up weighing 300 pounds....

I loved this upload for the rich shapes and hues (all your food shots are so appetizing), but also for your story about your sons. Wonderful snippets of your two sons' lives, Helle. If I recall, you also showed these foods after they'd cooked. (I'll find out soon when I re-visit them, next.) Very bright, vivid shot. And re Rod's comment, above: (I should write about this in my gallery):
I witnessed food photography---for ads---and whoa, it's impossible. The client wants their food captured to perfection, and it's almost impossible to please them. Many of the clients don't know squat about art, and they ask the most impossible things in the world. (I.e.: "Make our carrots glow like they're suns and stars..." Or, "make the apple so sexy, every young person in the world will want to eat one...") Then there are all the angles, lights, the reflectors (those big metal 'plates' on top of poles, which reflect light where you want it). And then keeping the food fresh under hot, hot lights: This can be a problem, believe me. And, as for putting on 300 pounds (Rod again): Well, if you're photographing fruits and veggies, you won't gain weight. If you photograph sweets, etc, you might---but by the time you're finished, the food has been sitting under hot lights a long time, and they often warn you not to eat it, as it may have developed bacteria. It's not as fun as it appears, in other words; but it is an art. A very specialized art. And, in my experience, they called on photographers who knew the art consummately. For the prices they paid, they wanted the very best in the field...
