The Photo Game: Appliance Love

Background

I've joined Kenneth Wajda and a small group of photographers in a weekly photo game. Each week Kenneth writes a prompt, and we're each tasked with creating a photograph that meets the prompt.

There are a few rules:

  • All submissions must be scans of film, no photos from digital cameras
  • Images must be taken, processed, and submitted by 8AM each Saturday
  • Miss a week, and you're out

My goal in playing is simple. Get out and shoot film.

This Week

This week's prompt is "Appliance Love," which I struggled with. I'm not very fond of most of my household appliances. In fact, my mood sours whenever I think about my Internet-connected, touchscreen-controlled oven. So dumb!

However, there is one appliance that does make me happy, and that is my KitchenAid stand mixer. I wanted one aspirationally. I told myself that I'd do so much more baking if I had one.

Now, I've got one. I don't do much more baking, but it still makes me happy.
