September 1st - Spice of Life

Didn't make it to PAD yesterday, just too much going on at work. Today was a much better and slower day.

One of the things I received as a gift for my b-day was a salt cellar. I've been jonesing for one of these
since I first saw them on a TV cooking show. This one is filled with kosher salt. Not for religious reasons,
but because it's simply better to cook with. It's pure, it's flaky and easy to get a pinch of...

Well, my life may not be too exciting - but it is my life!


ps:levels, b/w...

Yes I did see myself. Last Christmas I worked on a commercial shoot for TV where the scene was just a bunch of red ornaments. We worked like crazy to find a way to keep our reflection out of the shot. Took us hours of experimenting! We finally draped everything in black, the cameras and ourselves... Tonight I said what the heck...

I'd like to have one of these, too. When you grab a pinch, do you yell, "Bam!" Nice, Todd. Did you notice your reflection?
