Once upon a time there was a very sleepy Cauliflower named Caullie. Caullie loved to walk around and sleep in different places.
Caullie's favorite place to sleep was Publix and loved to sleep to its other cruciferous buddies (Caullie was afraid of the dark you see).
Caullie searched all around for the perfect place. Some places were too bright and too noisy.
Caullie searched high.
Caullie searched low
Caullie tried sleeping in a tree like a bird
And was even perched on a bright orange cone in search of sweet, sweet sleep, but to no avail.
Caullie had almost given up trying to sleep when suddenly,
Off in the distance
Could it be? Someone who loves to sleep just as much as Caullie the Cauliflower?
The mysterious stranger sat next to Caullie and they struck up a conversation. Caullie told the girl about the current predicament and Honey (short for Honeydew) told Caullie of a magical place where you could rest and no one would bother you. Honey called it Cushion Castle.
Interested, Caullie asked the newfound friend to lead the way!
Off they went on this spectacular adventure to find a Cushion Castle, a place worthy of a good snooze.
Of course, they took in the sights on the way.
Unfortunately, the journey was not without peril. To get to Cushion Castle you had to pass through, the Marinara Trench. Caullie was terrified, there were rumors that whoever entered the trench was never heard from again. Honey was determined however, to deliver Caullie the best sleep of its cruciferous life. With a swoosh of her blankie cape, she plunged into the Marinara Trench. Caullie held on tightly, but shared the same determination.
It was horrifying, the writings of people who probably died there were all over the walls, how were they going to get out?
Although it was terrifying, the two made it through and at the end of the trench a carpet unfolded in front of them. Displayed on the carpet was the most supple couch either had ever laid eyes on; they had made it to Cushion Castle. It was no Publix produce section, but it was absolutely perfect. Exhausted, both Honey and Caullie collapsed on the couch and fell into the most peaceful and well deserved of sleeps. Caullie having made a new friend and having survived the perils of the day, slept happily ever after.
THE END.

If I had the energy after this epic short story to post the bloopers reel I would, but you're just going to have to be satisfied with this.

The light in the 9th photo is really effective because it places emphasis on your character. Great use of a narrative in this series!
ReplyDeletewow. what a story. I really liked the 2nd picture, because you see all of publix but also little caulie and it's just a cool shot.
ReplyDeletewow wow wow 12/10 narrative! the twentieth picture has really nice lighting and the leading lines work well!
ReplyDeleteThe narrative was a nice way to work with ya got. The curb picture is cool because its a lower perspective.
ReplyDeleteThere's an interesting dynamic in the third photo with how at the bottom of the image it starts with the simple shapes of Cauli and the rugs, but, as you go up the photo it becomes very noisy because of all the food products and shelving. Lots of great geometry in this set, and excellent narrative!
ReplyDeleteThe second photo is my favorite. I like how out of place Caullie looks just sitting on the ground as the shoppers casually enter into Publix.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and very creative narrative! I really like your use of leading lines and the close ups show nice texture.
ReplyDeleteThe narrative is a nice touch. I liked hearing about caullie. The second photo is also my favorite because you can see caullie and then a huge publix, like the disparancy.
ReplyDeleteyour narratives and commentary never cease to amaze me. these photos have some very dynamic and captivating angles like your 10th image. i love how almost 2-D the cone seems in relation to the background. i also love your use of line to give a sense of direction which lends to the theme of directional ambiguity in this photoshoots narrative.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part about this is how you gave the cauliflower form and character with the slippers. I am excited for more Caullie narratives!
ReplyDeletebYe
ReplyDeleteI really like your play with proportion in these photos, especially in the earlier shots with how his slippers are literally as big as him. You have some really great shots! I really like the 12th shot with the arching of the bus stop cover/roof/rain protector/sun protector. I wish that the angle would have been slightly adjusted on there though cause it could've been super sick if the arch was a leading line towards Hannah. anyways, reposting
