Re: Cheese
Inspiring images. Wish I could appreciate cheese. My calorie counter indicates that it is a good thing that I don't.

Re: Cheese
Hi, Chris
I also have been experimenting with some still life imagery (to a lukewarm response thus far
) so I can begin to imagine the work you've put in here. I really like the color, textures and arrangements in your most recent offerings, but several of these have some extraneous shadowing creeping in from the margins, which are a little distracting. I've been enjoying your series.

Re: Cheese
Thanks Kevin and Mike!
Kev- you're right. These were pretty lazy photos, shot in a hurry and in sub-optimal light. I've been really busy but am dedicated to daily content for the blog... so these are more "blog-worthy" than high art- no excuses, I want to get back to more effort in them. Shot some recently that will go up in a week or two that should be better. Thanks!

Re: Cheese
Apologies for the long absence... experience a colossal technological bollocking with my PC... back together now.
October is American Cheese Month... will be eating and reviewing 31 cheeses in 31 days... a great opportunity to get back to the camera.

Good to see you back. I was away when you posted that set in July, so I missed it.
You post today has allowed me to discover it and this one is a beauty. I think the harmony of tone and colour across the image, as well as the excellent lighting, really make it stand out.
What is that that's in your last image above? Is it a sheep's milk? Looks wonderful.

Oh fine! Just when I though I 'might' be able to get my diet back under control! I put on weight just looking at your outstanding cheese images! Originally Posted by Fit

Re: Cheese
LOL Frank
Hi Donald and Cheers!
That last is Hoja Santa, a fresh goat milk cheese from, of all places, Dallas. Delicious. Fudgy texture; fresh milk flavor. It's wrapped in leaves of the same name, which taste like sassafras. It's green, minty, sorta like sarsaparilla. You eat the leaf as well, which is very moist. Great combo.Last edited by Fit; 22nd September 2012 at 11:31 AM.

Re: Cheese
Hey Chris, glad to see you posting again. Now I got the craving for real cheese. I'm heading down to Lanesboro in a week, any suggestions for local cheese?

Re: Cheese
Hi RT-
If you pass through Rochester, check out ZZest: http://zzestmarket.com/index.htm
There is also a shop in Faribault: http://www.faribaultdairy.com/
If you like blue cheeses, get their St. Pete's Select.

Re: Cheese
Did you get to ZZest? I was there last Saturday. Nice shop. The burger in the restaurant was especially tasty. Pretty good cheese selection.

Re: Cheese
I did not make it to ZZest, I ended up going down Wisconsin 35 to Wabasha, I did pick up a nice local Brick cheese at a small grocer in a small town though. Forestville did not disappoint though

Re: Cheese
The eagles were everywhere this weekend! Saw an otter, lots of deer. Good color too.

Re: Cheese
You should consider going north of Big Lake on County Rd 11 towards Santiago, the Sandhill Cranes are massing just south of Santiago
