"Spicy Eggplant" by Wes Aldridge
Well, this is a shot I set up in the studio. The food looked pretty nice and colorful, but the image just needed a little more dressing up. I went to Pier 1 Imports and bought this little place mat that looked pretty Asian and seemed to fit in well. Then, of course, we needed some fly looking chop sticks. Funny though, no stores in Cool Springs had any for sale. Everything they had was for display only, not for sale.
I ended up in Hecht's department store and saw a table setting there... with chop sticks made of black porcelain. I NEEDED them. I told the store manager this in a frantic way, and he felt the desperation in my voice and could read it in my eyes. He agreed to let me take them on the premis that he "trusted me" to bring them back when I was finished with the photo shoot. Believe it or not, I got them back to Hecht's when I was finished. Such a good boy am I.

YUM - you MUST tell me where that food is from. It looks SOOO delicious! Have you tried the new sushi place in Cool Springs?! It runs on a conveyor belt and you just grab whatever you want - pretty cool huh? My mom wrote a food piece about it you can probably find online for the name but CHECK it OUT! Seriously the best food EVER. Damn now I'm hungry. (sigh)
