Ever found yourself without an idea for a meal? Here: cook some macaroni (any kind, any form, really, even spaghetti - whichever is available). Quantity is hunger-determined. In the meantime, mix one part of ketchup with two parts of olive oil. Add dried parsley and black pepper. Add salt per wish. Stir thoroughly. Drain water from macaroni, pour the mixture over and stir some more to distribute evenly. Enjoy! ;)

Location
This photo originated in my former kitchen, many years ago (in Zagreb, Croatia).Time
Date/Time of this photo is 22-Aug-09 14:19:53 so obviously before this quick meal was consumed...Lighting
All of it: 1/250 sec, f/6.3, ISO 64, 0.00 eV, Pattern type metering, Flash Off, F 51 mmEquipment
One of the cameras dearest to my heart, a Sony DSC-F828 (R.I.P), shot out of hand with no add-ons. I'm still mourning the fact that Sony decided not to follow up on this model, as it was so before its time you wouldn't believe! Renewed with a contemporary processor and sensor, but keeping its original options, it would be guaranteed to be THE choice of many...Inspiration
Hunger, possibly, or the texture... hard to say. But it did look inviting in more than one way, so that was probably my reason to memorize the meal before it disappeared. :)Editing
Virtually nothing had to be tweaked or adjusted - save the cropping off of the unimportant, and rather unattractive pot rim. So in a way, it is SOOC.In my camera bag
At home, the camera is normally never more than two or three meters away, because one never knows what the next inspiration might be! Outside, I find it easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag. So I load my photo vest with whatever I might need for my photo session, walk or trip, while my photo bags usually keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. The vest's many pockets usually contain two cameras, spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one photo clamp standing in for a tripod. Recently I include a small action camera, mainly for its wide field of view and resistance to water and weather. The vest also has large-lens pockets that contain a small water bottle, sandwich, or a bar of chocolate if I plan on being out for the whole day. There is about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. My smartphone comes along too. It has yet another spare camera, but more importantly the Spirit Level App wich I use to make the phone a perfectly horizontal surface under my camera. This is essential for panoramic sweeps. The app is free, and requires no extra permissions whatsoever. The large back pocket of the vest is reserved for a lightweight rain poncho. If the weather suddenly plays up, the poncho neatly covers all. Using the tools mentioned above, much can be improvised along the way, so that's all I need to make photos.Feedback
One should always strive to look at things with the photographer's eye, and keep the camera close to hand. Nowadays it is more important than ever before, because the photos are so cheap to make and easy to ditch the non-keepers... In film days we were more careful, since the photos were significantly more expensive. Today, that excuse is gone forever. So basically, that's what is important: shoot a lot instead of waiting for the "right scene". It just might happen that the right scene would be sorely missed! It does happen too often to disregard. Have a Good Light! :)
