Into The Light—Banana Heaven Awaits   © 2012 Matthew Moore

What would your life be like if you were a piece of fruit? Would you have friends, a job, offspring? What challenges would you have? Would you have enemies, predators or prey?

In the above images, I played with light and focus to express what a banana might experience at its end-of-life. I wanted to portray a top-down background light in an ominous way as to suggest "going into the light" and a soft out-of-focus essence to create a dream-like state. Luckily in post-production, I was able to create two different stories with the same shot. One where the banana was looking to the light much like a moth does to a flame just before perishing and the other as if the banana's spirit was moving towards the "heavenly light" on its final breath.

Old School: Danielle Saler

Getting back to your roots doesn't just mean listening to old school jams or examining a toy you found in your mother's basement. It means to indulge in your personal nostalgia. Start off with a freshly squeezed glass of good old fashion orange juice. Get back to your roots. Don't know how? Visit this recipe to make your own.

Looking for a great book to read? Five Quarters of an Orange written by Joanne Harris reminds me of this image and is one of my personal favorites.

Fusion: Mary Welander

Right before the end of summer, Denver gets hit with one of it's biggest heat waves of the season.  Sitting in my apartment in Littleton, with no air conditioning, I thought to myself, "What can I do to cool my self down, even a little?"  Lo and behold, in my freezer I found a frozen fruit miracle!  Frozen strawberry puree with a mango fusion has never been more refreshing and delicious!

I'd like to welcome back this beautiful, sunny weather!  

Colorado has been quite gloomy the past week. 

Such a warm welcome deserves a refreshing treat!

     Light is a tricky, mischievous, and unpredictable beast. It is my duty however as a photographer to go into the wild and capture it, or in this case the studio. Once caged in the studio it is tamed and domesticated.
