It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

The Restaurant
I photograph a lot of restaurants as part of my job. Usually it involves finding a nice view of the dining room, and then setting up a the chef and maybe the owner in the picture. Usually I need to set up a studio flash unit to light the subjects as well. Sometimes the photographs have a similar look to them because of the compostition. But on this day, I walked into this restaurant and saw these wonderful paintings on the bright yellow wall, AND, there was really lovely natural light coming in through the windows on the right. All I had to do was to arrange the owner and the chef in a nice composition, and shoot the picture. About as easy as it can get, in this case.
