Project 365, Day 1

I actually took this shot last night shortly after midnight.  Sarah and I were up for NYE and she was making Marshmallows from scratch.

On the subject of Jelly Beans

The other day Sarah was out at an event with some friends while I gleefully stayed home and slept of played video games.  Sometimes we do this.  Well, when she came home she was loaded down with various food stuffs that were excess from the event.  Some very evil person sent her home with a jar of Jelly Belly brand jelly beans.

Yes, the most amazing jelly bean on the planet.  It is taking all of my willpower to not devour the whole jar in one sitting (it’s a big jar too).  To combat my desire to “eat all the things”, I decided to set up a little photo shoot.  Below are the results:

No one likes the black jelly beans!

Jelly Bean Statistics
As you can see from this chart, we show 100% Deliciousness.

Both of these shots were done with my SB600 strobe mounted on the Gorilla pod stand, positioned about 2 feet away and the Lightsphere about 1 ½ feet above the subject. (Triggered remotely)

Dinner time.

Went to a place called Okra’s in old town Manassas tonight for dinner.  As per usual it was amazing!  I wanted to play with the new camera a bit and take some pictures of my food (I know I know, I’m that guy).  These are two of our favorite dishes:

The Choctaw Oysters.  This was the last one left, they went far too fast.

The Pasta Diablo with Shrimp.  By far my favorite dish there.  Extremely spicy (in a good way)  Highly recommended!

The only downside to going is that it’s kind of pricey, Plan for around $25 per person, but it is very much worth it.  They occasionally have live music as well.
