"Nancy Edmonds, of Aurora, searches the shelves for a bottle of lemon juice inside a local Safeway grocery store in Denver on June 5, 2008. After nearly a minute of searching she finally found the key ingredient for her signature lemon bars dessert."
As expected today was full of errands. My mom and I did all our shopping in preparation for my graduation party on Saturday evening. Between three stores, including our beloved Costco, we spent way too much money. I'll spare you from the disastrous total but I'll put it this way, if people don't come to the party we'll be eating fajitas and drinking margaritas and beer for three months. It's a little startling how much food and liquor we have maneuvered into this house. Luckily we have a plan which consisted of finishing all the desserts tonight and prepping all the food tomorrow evening. We'll be in the kitchen most of the afternoon/evening tomorrow but we'll be ready.
During our adventures I took along, as I usually do, a camera and my 85 1.8. I shot most of the afternoon wide open, that's at f1.8 for all you readers out there who aren't photo lingo savvy, and made some great images at the grocery store. All grocery stores have one thing in common, awful cluttered backgrounds full of ridiculous colors. Shooting wide open allowed me to separate my subject from the background to make them pop. It also allowed me to make some nice images using depth of field to create some unique textures in the produce section.
Tomorrow is my next to last day of this APAD project and while it will be a relief when it ends I will miss the anticipation of what the next day of the project brings. Hopefully I can finish strong with the last two days of the project. I have something special planned for the last day (graduation) so stay tuned!
