Yummy Photoshoot

My afternoon at Whole Foods looks like this...

As a creative person one of the scariest moments you can face is this:

Someone sees your work and likes it sooo much that they want you to do one just like it for them.

It's such a compliment that you can't say no... but you wonder, can you replicate the masterpiece they admire? At this point you wonder if you can even remember how you created it in the frst place. You were in the zone...the creative sweet spot and it seemed to just appear fully formed and beautiful - your new favorite work. Then comes the admiration. And the flattery. It all ends with the inevidable moment when you hear those terrifying words - 'Can you do that for me?'

'Of course!', you affirm. No one wants to think of themselves as a one hit wonder. The better choice is to decline, sighting individuality and mumbling something about being a one-of-a kind. Suggesting that you could taylor something to their needs/prefrences is a highly superior plan. But I haven't mastered that speech yet...

So off I go to try to replicate this... ... with vegitables.

I'll keep you posted.
