Sometimes we shoot weddings, and other times Carolyn gets paid to photograph food while Geoff stands in line for grilled cheese. This is an event I photographed for the Downtown Raleigh Alliance’s Cheese Please festival at the downtown farmer’s market. This year Buku, Kimbap, The Oakz, Jimmy V’s, and Bolt Bistro competed for the title of Grilled Cheese Champion (i.e. “People’s Choice for Best Grilled Cheese”). This year Jimmy V was the crowning champion, and while I didn’t get to taste any of the food (gluten-intolerant), I did smell it… and looked at it a lot… and maybe drooled a little bit.

I’m still out and about photographing commercial work for the Downtown Raleigh Alliance! I blog some of it here and there when I get the chance, but I always love blogging the opening day of the Downtown Raleigh Farmer’s Market because it’s always so colorful (even when it’s overcast like last week!) and happy. :) I love photographing this event for them, and I love it even more when I come home with some gluten-free chocolate cake and chipotle lime goat cheese. :D Oh, and when I see cute dogs. Can’t forget the cute dogs.
