I always give my coworker Maggie a hard time about the assignments she gives me to shoot. She is the city hall reporter so most of her stories deal with some kind of government regulation, city council meeting or pensions. All riveting topics when it comes to photography as you can imagine.
How can I forget the time we drove around photographing non-ADA compliant curbs? Or the thrilling task of photographing storm drains? How I have not won a Pulitzer yet is beyond me.
But sometimes, sometimes Maggie works a miracle and finds something good. And by good I mean delicious.
Being that this is Thanksgiving week people are out preparing for the most important part of the day and the reason we all gather together–pie!
The photos were not technically challenging or even particularly interesting to look at but it was fun. Sometimes that's all that matters.
What I enjoyed most about it though(other than eating a delicious apple pie) was making the video. This is one of those cases when a movie does more justice to a subject than still images. With the video you can see the crust forming, the juices dripping and the skill it takes to form the crust(it's harder than it looks). The photos just didn't convey it as well.
So check out the video, read Mags' story and enjoy a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

My name is Lauren. I photograph the people in my life, the views from the driver seat, food on the dinner table, lovers on their wedding day and everything in between. This is where I share my work, the snapshots of everyday life. I hope you enjoy your visit.
What happens behind the scenes with artifacts, documents, and photographs that the San Joaquin County Historical Museum holds? What new materials have come in? Have any interesting discoveries been made about old ones? How are the materials preserved? What questions do they raise? How can the community of patrons help members of staff maintain and understand them? These are some of the questions addressed in this blog.
