When I\u00a0made the Dill Sauce for the Herb Crusted Salmon the other day I had to squeeze out some juice from a lemon so I decided to take a motion photo of my hand rolling and pressing the lemon to break up the flesh and pulp. I have been taking more photos of food among other things like my model trains hobby<\/a>\u00a0as well and have started to experiment with the camera a bit. It is nice having a hobby within a hobby, such as food and photography! I have spent more time in thinking up my food compositions for possible photograph opportunities.<\/p>\n

In fact, sometimes I get so caught up in the cooking and eating that\u00a0I forget to take a photo here and there. Or, it’s more like “…oh…I got to get the camera out to capture this before the sauce reaches a boil” type of moment.\u00a0 Or I need to take this photo before the food gets cold, I want to eat it too you know!<\/p>\n

\"\"This photo was taken with the self timer and the aperture setting around f-18 for a longer shutter time opening. I thought it was a really neat shot! Especially since I had to time when I moved the lemon in sync with the timed shutter opening.<\/p>\n

I have always been fascinated with photography and one of my all time favorite photographers is the French photojournalist Henri Cartier-Bresson<\/a> (1908 – 2004) who coined the phrase and published the book The Decisive Moment<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>which\u00a0has influenced what I hope to achieve in my quest for photo excellence.<\/p>\n

“The simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression… . In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little human detail can become a leitmotif.” \u2014 Henri Cartier-Bresson1<\/sup><\/p>\n

\u00a0Here are a few of my favorite Cartier-Bresson images:<\/p>\n\n\nRue Mouffetard, Paris, 1954<\/strong><\/em> – aka Boy with Bottles
\n<\/strong><\/tr>\n\"Rue<\/tr>\n
