This is Slow Cooked, a collection of weekly musings, ongoing projects, and the media I’m consuming; delivered every Thursday.
Ripe Bananas 🐒
A monthly series where I attempt to break down my photographic practice and try to find patterns in my work.
An antidote to the idiom, "don't buy green bananas", i.e. to not invest in things that take a long time to yield results.
Blow-Up 🔬
I’ve always thought of my camera as a tool to explore and capture the world around me. Much like tools, each camera has a unique set of capabilities and limitations.
Over the past two weeks, I've been exploring what my new camera has to offer.
This led to some interesting discoveries, including finding little surprises hidden within the photographs that only revealed themselves when zoomed into.
I began thinking of these as photographs within a photograph. Most had just one, others had a few.
Here are some of them.

With Slow Cooked, I'm trying to build a community. So, it would mean a lot to me if you'd share this with others who you think would be interested in it too!
Every little helps!
Thank you 🙃
If you made it this far, I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to do so.
