The following post is a re-edit of a Sticky Egg blog entry dated November 5, 2009. The names have been changed, but let’s face it…
No one is innocent here.
I’m sorry, Philadelphia Boston. I didn’t mean to.
When I moved to New York City three five years ago, I had hoped being a sports team ‘good luck charm’ would help the Mets, but alas — the Yankees Giants won…again.
Even though my powers are extremely strong — and are becoming more legendary by the day– I’ve never had much control over them.
They first surfaced in Kansas City in 1992. Mere weeks after I moved there, Joe Montana signed with the Chiefs. Kansas City didn’t win a Super Bowl under Joe, but they were definitely post-season contenders.
I moved to Boston in 2000 and lived there for six years. I think we all know the impact I had there. Two World Series wins for the famously denied Boston Red Sox. The Patriots win the Super Bowl not once, not twice, but three times.
But the minute I moved to New York City — we’re talking, I’d been in town just a couple of months — the New York Giants win the Super Bowl, defeating the New England Patriots.
Ouch.
My power is infinite and brutal and — with the Yankees’ World Series win just last night now that the Giants have handed the Patriots their second defeat — impossible to target.
I’m starting to wonder who’s behind my powers, and more importantly — what city is gonna pay me for them?
Chicago, I’m in the book.
How I see it
It’s been almost a year since The Egg dared to ask:
Why do so many people attempt to photograph the food they are eating?
I argued amateur attempts often make food and drink look — well — unappetizing. Comments in response to my post disagreed.
Point taken.
But I did want to share an example of some exceptional professional food photography…by Lincoln Barbour.
Look at the color, the lighting, the composition. This is no simple shot of half-eaten eggs and bacon on a plate –
This is art.
That’s all I’m saying.
