Days 5 - 5th August 2011 Part 2


Friday Night - I waited til I got home before I even started taking photos today, I knew I had a night in the kitchen ahead of me and potentially a night out on the town.  Turns out I ended up spending alot longer in the kitchen than originally planned so didn't make it out on the town, however I did get over to a friends new pad (Yay one of my closest friends has moved to Gosford!!) and learnt how to play Mario Kart which was good fun.

I decided to capture my adventures in the kitchen, I started off trying to be arty farty and photograph my first glass of wine for the evening but don’t really like the result, I either couldn't get the picture in focus or it was too dark and as I was drinking rose out of a pink vintage glass the camera just couldn't do it justice.

My night in the kitchen involved making chocolate balls and risotto, I did try to photograph the food and some of the chocolate ball photo’s were ok – but really it just highlighted what a messy cook I am.  

In the end I decided to go with this photo because:

a: even though it’s not the best self portrait I wanted to try and photograph myself quite a few times throughout the year to see how I’ve changed (aged LOL) and I think this captures the inner dag in me!!

b: I had no idea how to use the self timer on the Pentax and it took me bloody ages to get it to work so Day 5 is my first self portrait - I'm sure there will be plenty more!
