Following on from my Merlyn Riggs post, a journal seems a promising way of championing food and drink.
One entry involves the mixing of Captain James Cook’s journal, written in an 18th century hand, and a photographed Yorkshire curd tart. No doubt an unexpected sight, but one illustrating the parallels between the Pacific and local explorer.
I’m experimenting what might be the best picture – colour or black and white, family album size or A4 picture, and, inspired by Katy Beinart’s Salted Paper Prints, ways of distorting the photograph, using sea salt, with its maritime connotations, or curds and whey, referring to the tart.
This photo editing malarkey’s new to me. It seems to be about subtlety.
CorelDraw experiments:
Too intense? Is the shadow too prominent?
Other entries may involve a West Riding Pudding recipe, maps, beermats. I could place the pudding recipe on top of a map. Hmmm….
YOU COULD SOLVE THAT WITH A BISCUIT DUNKING MACHINE
