Goodies

We do not really have the food culture or habits that puts us in candy or sweets traps. Instead of soft drinks, our guys have become accustomed to cold milk – which works well with any kind of food or cookies. We prefer homemade food that is healthy with lots of vegetables & hearty salads. But it’s hard to resist sweets, after dinner, to the coffee or just during a nice family evening together.

Sometimes it’s the freshly baked, the actual scent that is adequate. Or the aesthetics of the baked goods that attracts. I know that it might sound weird but it’s the combination of the taste & smell together with how it looks that makes the whole experience. It doesn’t have to be so fancy, super stylish, big or exclusive. But it’s nevertheless important with the way it looks, you eat with your eyes too, right!

I’ll share a little secret with you – I love donuts. Not the big ones or the regular big size, even if I don´t mind them but those small tiny ones that you have to bite off in small pieces & chew carefully so they’ll last longer. A tip, check out the last image!

Daily inspiration, food art

It’s sometimes hard to define the difference between photography, art, commercials & food styling. What’s art – a constant question but as usual, it lies in the viewer’s experience. As simple as this is, I find it graphically appealing.

Daily inspiration, green bridge

As I understand, this is a place somewhere in the world where someone came up with the idea to build a forest green bridge over the highway – because all animals were run over & killed when they tried to cross. And it works, it’s much less of a problem now. Plus that it’s such a hearty thing to do for those animals that actually belongs there.

go BIGGER

There’s a great deal of oversized framed photos & posters on various inspirational sites. In the right place it certainly makes a difference. In other it looks too cramped to my liking. But again taste is so different so I’m not having an opinion around that. If you don’t want to go for a big, bigger design, you can create that feeling with several small – that hangs in more rows such as one of the images below.

Some people prefer plain or empty walls while others want to fill them with all kinds of art. Either way, it works just fine with either or. But today, you get to put up with a lot of bigger options. Let’s see what you think!
