Food Preparation

We love food, and we love contests on food. This time, the theme is on food preparation. Your photo must show, as its main subject, something depicting food preparations. This could be food being cooked, food being prepared to be cooked, ingredients being prepared for presentation or for cooking, food being decorated (example: cakes being decorated), etc. Please note that this excludes drinks and drinks preparation.

Contest Rules:

1. Any digital photo or digitally-scanned photo relevant to the theme will be accepted within the contest period. In case there's a gray area, or you're not sure if the picture is suitable, check with me first.

2. Please resize your digital photo to no more than 800 x 600 or 600 x 800 pixels. You may also crop your picture if you wish. You are also allowed to adjust the brightness and contrast of your picture but these should not dramatically alter the look of the picture. But other than those, any form of picture editing or modification is not allowed. This is a photo contest, not a picture editing/special effect contest. You may add a watermark or your name/nickname to the photo for identification purposes.

3. Upload your photos to any of the photo servers such as imageshack or photobucket. Then post it the relevant contest thread and link your picture using the img command. PM me if you do not know how.

4. Only ONE picture per member per contest. Once a picture is posted, it cannot be changed other than a total withdrawl by that member from that week's photo contest. Exceptions will be made for modification to comply with the rules, such as resizing.

5. At the end of the contest period, I will open a poll and every PF member can vote for the picture they like best.

6. Note that in case we have a large number of entries, I will do the polling in more than one thread. If that's the case, you can vote in each of the polling threads. The photos will be assigned in the polling threads in the order they were submitted.

7. These pictures must be something that you took, not something taken off someone else's photo albums or taken by someone else. I have no way of checking if you did this, so we'll go by the honor system.

8. You can use a picture only once. Once it is used in a contest, it cannot be reused in another contest.

9. Please post only pictures meant for submission in this thread. Photos not meant for submission must not be posted in the contest thread. Posting of more than one photos by a member may result in an automatic disqualification from the week's contest.

No, that doesn't count.

Inspiration was immediate, execution was tricky:

Inspired by the opening title sequence to the tv series 'Dexter', I became struck by the deep physical and emotional similarities between preparing food and preparing the dead for burial. Both can be highly ritualized processes, or performed simply and efficiently. The instruments and equipment are similar and often identical (knives, refrigerated storage, ovens,..). The emotions expressed ('honoring the ingredients', 'prepared with love') are often similar. And obviously, preparing food usually proceeds from the death of something, be it animal or plant.

The tough part was how to convey this in a photo. The dearly departed fowl lies in repose, swaddled in a white shroud; canopic bowls hold the offal.

Best. Contest. Yet!

I'm no doctor, Andy, nor am I a veterinarian, but I don't think your patient is going to make it.

Final day to submit your food preparation photo for this contest. If you cook for meals, or if you've made peanut-butter sandwiches, you have no excuse!
