Thank you to everyone who participated in the first round of Through My Lens… an experiment in interpretation. I think it is really interesting to see how simliar and different each photo turned out to be! Over the next few days, I will be posting each photo individually with the “behind the scenes” data for each one. Hope you’ll tune in and I hope you will support the photographers who participated by clicking through the links to their blogs!

The next assignment for Through My Lens will be…Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches (Thank you Mangio da Sola for the idea!). Easy to make, but I think it will be a challenge to photograph! Imagine that you have been hired by a magazine to photograph a simple PB&J for them. How will you interpret that assignment? I hope you’ll join in!

The Details:

  • Please make, photograph, and post about the assignment on or as close to September 8th as you can.
  • Through the “submit your photos” section on Culinary Snapshot, send me your photo, a link to your blog and a link to the post that relates to this event. In the subject line, please put “Through My Lens” and your blog name.
  • I will have a roundup, linking back to your blog, up by Thursday, September 10th. For those who provide “behind the scenes” info, an individual post of your submission will also follow the roundup.
  • If you plan on joining in on the fun, please leave a comment on this post indicating so.
  • All Through My Lens participants will be eligible for the Culinary Snapshot monthly giveaway drawing.

Oooooh! That is a toughy! I’ll have to erase all those 80’s PB&J commercials from my mind.

So cool to see all the different interpretations on one recipe! I will definitely have to participate in the next one, but I will be using soy nut or almond butter instead. Peanut butter is banned from our house – 4 yr old has an allergy. Will be interesting to see how this one is photographed.

What great results! I had been so planning to participate but with my holiday just a day away there was too much other stuff to do. The PB&J sandwich challenge is a great one, unfortunately I won’t be around for this one either, but can’t wait for number three!

I somehow missed this one, but not sure I would have had time to get it done in light of our upcoming trip. But, I am intrigued by the idea of photgraphing PB&J… may have to play with that idea!

I’ve been looking for something to give me a kick in the behind – I need to figure out how to photograph in my new space. I moved TWO WEEKS ago and I haven’t taken a decent picture yet! This may be just the thing. Can’t wait to play :)

Hmmm – I am intrigued. Taking better pictures is one of my goals over the next year so perhaps I should get my thinking cap on for this one….
