While on the topic, I am stunned to see that the Gourmet Project has survived Gourmet Magazine – but one does reach a point in photography when it’s clear that their absolutely epic cover shots are within an amateur’s grasp with a little lighting, a $400 DSLR, and a fast 50mm prime. I just bounced my first flash for some family Thanksgiving shots on my aged Powershot S3 IS… and wow, it worked well. Since I used a spoon, it was useful for pumpkin pie afterwards. I see camera gear on my Christmas list.
