Mostly for personal enjoyment. My wife has an alternate career as a food writer. This has taken me all sorts of places, as I often take the shots that accompany her stories. We've been published in the NY Times, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Dallas etc. On my own, I've had shots in San Diego and several magazines. Food shots can really vary (from workers picking olives in Spain or walnuts in Paris, Texas to pics of real food that has to be well lit and taken before the ice cream melts out of shape). They are almost always challenging and usually the people involved make them lots of fun.
For enjoyment, I like shots of dogs (we've been raising Bearded Collies for over 40 years) and people in foreign (to me) places. I usually try to show how similar we all are while highlighting singular differences. Larry in Dallas
