Photographer’s Note
Slow Food! II
I like slow food, it takes time. We go to markets, walk around, and slowly decide what to buy.
We go home, prepare the house, friends come and the place starts to live :)
You don't need a big kitchen in Latvia.
You need a big table.
Everybody comes with food, and the preparation is a social event. While we talk, the table outside slowly becomes an artwork. For me anyway. For the people around me, it is just another day, and this is how we live. It could happen any day.
I come from Holland.
There we eat at six.
We plan a party month in advance, comparing agendas.
the food is measured to the amount of people who will come.
We can only learn from other cultures :)
PS2;
crop, small color corrections, resizing, added the border slight sharpening and finally added the text.

Hello David,
Interesting picture and interesting note. The food looks appetizing and the composition of the picture is very nice. The red plates are perfect eye-catchers.

Hi David.I am glad I can do a critique without worrying about a melodramatic response from an injured ego. First impression, great graphic quality, very strong pattern with the blue cloth and the red plates. Second impression, a bit boring no people, no human context. A close up of food could be interesting in its detail, but spread out like this it lacks impact. Thus, perfect composition and exposure,but the subject fails to set me afire. A table with some food, is just not enough. Sorry to be your 'bete noire' but you asked for it. regards kevin
