Spice it up.: Man in his attempts to conquer nature

My new blog!

Hey friends,

Welcome to my new blog. This is intended for all varying types of foodies. The foodies who only eat at the best restaurants, the foodies that spend their days and nights cooking, and the foodies that order pizza every day. Yeah you. We all have one thing in common: our love for food. So fuck the whole I don't cook thing you have going- its not very pretty on you. Cooking is the new basketball. Its sexy, fun, and gets you smelly. So get your hands dirty and go for it. One idea I've been playing with is meals in 20 min - for the on the go college student or working mother. I mastered the art of 20 minute meals my senior year of college when I had exactly 20 min to cook.. and eat. Fun.

But the point is, anyone can cook. I'm sick of hearing my friends say they can't. All you have to do is take a bunch of foods you like, throw them in a pan with some oil, and go nuts. The rest of this blog follows that golden rule. Only in some more detail. But the rule persists- regardless of the ridiculous hilla- concoctions, the rule is, once again- take a bunch of foods you like and throw them together. Don't think. Just cook.

And never stop singing. Or dancing.

Enjoy.

Man in his attempts to conquer nature

I love this shot because while man tries to stand tall, he's nothing compared to the vast forest around him. Our bus brokedown, and some friends and I were walking through this path we found. I was in awe of how huge the trees were, and tried capturing that exact idea.. of just how small we are compared to nature. The greenery everywhere, the tree in the background, and the strength of the sun peeking through the canopy. To me, they all represent that we not are above nature in anyway, and therefore can't control it as we have been for the past couple centuries. I'm an environmentalist.. I guess.. so that's a huge part of my philosophy. I love my friend Pat's body language. He thinks he's so awesome, but when it comes down to it, in a fight- nature would win.
