I chose to take a picture of this pie because to me it represents american comfort. To many americans a homemade strawberry pie is a symbol of home and mothers cooking. This I why I chose to use a pie to demonstrate the concept of comfort. Most Americans are familiar with the idea of a woman in the kitchen baking a fresh pie, pulling it from the oven and setting it on a window sill to cool. This are strong images that have been written in our cultural DNA thanks to cartoons, and shows like Leave it to Beaver. This image of comfort proceeds beyond all borders because whether or not an individual likes pie or not they most likely will be familiar with the concept of a pie freshly baked. Comfort is an interesting concept that is routinely depicted with a blanket and a teddy bear or something similar.

I like the lighting in this picture. The way the light hits the strawberries is perfect. Also, the crust in the back is a good color to add to the picture and keeps the message in focus. This picture makes me hungry.
ReplyDeleteThose strawberries do look delicious. The red color is perfect, and the way the light reflects off of them. The way the lighting is, it looks like the sun is setting which is a perfect time for dessert.
