a chronic addiction

(taken with 680 on 600 film)

hi.
how was your weekend?
it was a bit cool and pretty for me.
the temperature was comfortable around 70, and that made me feel the summer is going away now.
i went a farmer's market for the first time after a long absence with my husband instead of doing darkroom work, which we always spent our saturday mornings for.
they had rearranged the way how shops made lines, and it made me feel i had been to a new place where i'd never visited.
late summer crops, new street regulations, new talented street musicians, the first time crepe eating (though there has always been crepe gangs, i call them that 'cause crepe makers were wearing dark black sunglasses, white cook uniform jackets and short pants, since the summer 2 or 3 years ago.), everything was enjoyable so much.

one of the things on the to-do list of the past weekend was to update my photography homepage.
though i've left that for a long time without any update since the last, i've been thinking about that earnestly.
in spite of the necessity to have been connected online for the update, the big wind storm hit the night before disabled me to do that.
so i simply reviewed my portfolios.
then i noticed that i have a necessity of making another food portfolio.
though i've already made one last time, whose portfolio name is "cafe & bar", i had to admit the fact i can't skip food related pictures this time, either.

why do i take same pictures again and again and again and ............ everlastingly??
i took the today's picture 2 or 3 weeks ago, and i'd taken this kind of pictures before and before and before and ........ constantly!!
i shoot my table almost everyday.
i shoot our breakfast almost every weekend.
i can't have any reasonable word for the excuse, but just i love that.
i love my table and our breakfast on weekend, earnestly.

i cherish polaroid especially when i shoot food and plates and mugs on the table are haloed with the pretty morning sunray.
i expect the way how polaroid fuses the gorgeous light and the outlines of the objects.
it's all about the pleasure of the weekend morning.
sometimes it makes a lot of sparkling stars on the pictures unexpectedly, it is so lovely and makes me feel i'm the luckiest girl in the world on that morning.

i adore black and white film for its excellent capability of catching the moment memorably.
even though i shoot similar food events so many times, they all vary.
and whenever i look them again after a while or long after, they unexceptionally successfully remind me of what, when, where and how i loved the situations once.
b&w film is an a-1 memory reminder.

though i don't like color film very much recently, i still trust how slide film (positive film) catches and shows the fresh color on seasonal fruits and the nostalgic color and patterns of my collection of antique plates.


so, well, i apparently have a chronic addiction of taking food pictures.
and i think, i'd better to rethink about my food related portfolios in the web gallery to be series.
i hope you'll keep an eye out for the update of it which is supposed be done within days.

have a pretty monday!
