Grocery Store Photoshoot















One of the best places to take photos, I've discovered, is the grocery store. Seriously, the number of things you can find to take pictures of is nearly infinite, and as long as you don't mind looking a little kooky, you can have a lot of fun.

Another advantage is the fact that you can appreciate the art form that is the supermarket a little better when you look through the lens of your camera. There are the classic images, i.e Perrier bottles, as well as more modern ones (see Kool-Aid).

There is just something about capturing this orgy of advertising in a whole new way...and I like it. I want to do it again, but this time , instead of at a Piggly Wiggly, at some high-end place where the lighting is all dramatic and the products insanely expensive. That would be fun.
