Last weekend, my sister Heather hosted the greatest dinner party I've ever been to. It took place in her Colorado backyard; as an artist herself, her vision was a "Babette's Feast", "Chocolat", and "Big Night" dream a la Martha Stewart -- a spectacularly planned feast that was finally realized in this 7-course spread of deliciousness! There was even a wine service in between each course! I began taking pictures right when the preparation began on the day before. My vision was to emanate Martha Stewart Magazine a little bit, with the idea of putting together a collage of some of the best images at the end. This won't be a collage, exactly, but at least you can get a bit of an idea as to the event. It was interesting shooting food rather than people for a change. I learned quite a bit, and artistically, I actually had a lot of fun. Be sure to visit Heather's blog at www.artbyhlm.blogspot.com to see more photos of the food and the menu. These are my favorite images from the night. (click once to enlarge)
