I played a little with my LensBaby, photographing practically everything around the house. I even made my cats model their eyes and paws, but honestly, they didn’t appreciate my artistic efforts. My two smart cats simply ran away from me and hid in a safe place for the time their owner keeps the camera in her hands. I ended up experimenting with fruits on the table, as inanimate objects now they didn’t escape the photo session. Here are the results:

I am taking some risk by setting up this presentation. These pictures and the actual meat/beef section at the Cuzco food market are very graphic. I will start by mentioning that I am a vegetarian. Somehow I didn’t feel disgusted by the scenery, I was amazed how clean the place is, there weren’t the mass clouds of flies as I anticipated to see. I saw an abundance of tasty goodies there. The market place was loud, colorful and vibrant. People were setting their goodies, negotiating, smiling. The small kids were running in the aisles from one vendor to another, probably seeing the relatives or the other children to play with. The whole atmosphere was bright and healthy. In the meat aisle I noticed a dog pilfered a juicy piece of meat off the counter while the girl was chatting with her friends.
As we know all roads lead to Rome. In this case, the journey is as interesting as the destination. Here are some treasures I collected on the road to Rome. Italian country landscapes are magnificent in early August. Restaurants in small towns are welcoming and charming and cuisine is exceptional, especially at mamma’s and pappa’s places. Three words: I love Italy.

Oh, it is rich in flavors and yummy! I would go to Morocco again just because of the wonderful food.
Once I was invited to take pictures of black caviar, salmon roe, oysters and another variations of the possible fine food. The experience of setting everything inside the light box was very interesting and creative as well as the opportunity to visually manipulate the actual dimensions of the product. I was driven by the idea of keeping everything real: no artificial colors and no photoshopping. The other fun part happened after the session when we had to eat all those pretty plates. Yummm.I need to give credits to one of the best caviar distributing company in USA.
Abundance.
Tagine is an interesting type of clay pot that is very popular in Morocco. Basically, it’s an ancestor of the modern slow cooker. They cook and serve the dish in tagine, and it comes in a lot of different sizes and decor.

I am a passionate observer who likes to collect the moments and the looks.
