oatmeal by summerfield

oatmeal

and/or oats. i eat my oatmeal with dried blueberries and raw pine nuts. sometimes if i want it a little bit sweet, i mix in a teaspoon of maple syrup. and if i'm missing my mother, i put condensed milk in my oatmeal and eat it with toast lathered with butter.

my planned shot for today is not accessible or not available. i walked two blocks to get to the place and they didn't have it. this is my spiel: "hi, how are you? my name is vikki and i came here because i have an assignment in my photography course. i need to take a photo of an *****. how does that look like? i frankly haven't seen one in person. do you have one?" you see the amused look in the face of the store manager but only to be told, "oh, we don't carry that, those are high end items so you only get that from really specialized stores. but you're welcome to take pictures of anything else in the store."

drat!

so tomorrow, i go to a really specialized store to get my photo. and if i don't get one, not to worry. i have my back-ups!

thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are truly and genuinely appreciated.
Beautiful composition!

I agree with Lisa, I really like the comp. I like the prepared dish along side the uncooked oatmeal and the oat twig? or whatever it's called. Another O! You're on quite a roll my friend.

You are being very mysterious! Will await further developments! Your mixture from your Mother's recipe sounds delightful - unusual but worth trying!

I'm with Maggiemae, mysterious indeed... can hardly wait to see where this is going.I like the shot too. Your mother-love oatmeal sounds delicious. I have my oatmeal with dried blueberries, walnut bits, and dried coconut flakes. Maple syrup would finish it off.. or condensed milk which would finish it and me off quite nicely...

Great composition. Love it. Look forward to the mysterious one of tomorrow.

Yum This looks so good! I love how you have composed it! Sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the "specialized shop" shot!

A real lovely shot!

Oh I wonder if the Teddy family would like some oatmeal. This is a wonderful composition and shot!!
October 25th, 2014  
Nicely composed. My mom has oatmeal every morning.
October 25th, 2014  
Oh, condensed milk. I haven't had any for years. You never see it in my local supermarket

Lovely still life set up. Not a favourite of mine but you've made it look appetising.

You're a story teller, you got me hooked instantly and I want to know the end! Beautiful set up on black background!

Love the setup on this one....what were you looking for, though? Ostrich eggs? Octopus?! The suspense is killing us!!
October 25th, 2014  
Looks tasty. So well captured.
October 25th, 2014  
Wow - you are very dedicated to this challenge! :) At least you got some exercise in... I like my oatmeal hot, with bananas, yoghurt and strawberries :)
October 25th, 2014  
So well done! And the oats with condensed milk is a classic of course! Sometimes we even add milo to it. heheh.

This could be a magazine advertisement shot. It's fabulous. And I love oatmeal. And it makes me think of my parents. And I love a mystery. If you don't find what you're looking for, hope we find out what it was anyway....
October 25th, 2014

October 25th, 2014
