Vision Quest– the search is on…

Vision Questing our Email Campaign is our current big seed we are cultivating. We workshop by ruminating every week on imagery that we collect. Together we discuss images that inspire, titillate, and move us to act, think and feel. We lay out images across the floor and notice what works, and what doesn't. Our favorites of the very best go up on display for all to see. We continue the discussions until the next meeting. OUR GOAL: to discover our visual integrity for our next email campaign. So Far, So good!

Imstepf Films sets roof on FIRE~

What's a happening on set? Well I tell you chums. Things are on fire at the moment on set. Pyro maniac is the key descriptor here people. Our film department is playing with matches again. We love flames, so why not put them on the reel? We're burning everything under the sun to see what it looks like in the lens. Exciting isn't it? Well flames are so luscious, fiery, they are wild too!
Flames are always changing, so not one image is the same. Stay tuned for the some results!

Flaming Vegetables

We hit the ground running and felt a thunder shower of desire storm the set with the idea of firing up the burners to shoot up some flames... there are some amazing spots out there. Main stream stuff the the red lobster, apple bees, places like this always throw in a flam shot of flying veg or protein.. heck flame shish kabobs look sexy. We tried the veggie version.. and blasted our way through plenty of butane. Had a party doing it. We have snippets of it on the IMSTEPF film blog. If you try this at home.. be prepared for mess.. need lots of tarp to cover floors an equipment. Its action food land.

Love Pretty Food Blog goes Macrobiotic

Love Pretty Food Bloggers are plugging along in Culver City. Tasting and sampling abound for the Summer Lunches series. Focusing on healthy; reasonably priced and pretty. M Chaya De Chaya was our last stofoff. Sounds too tofu- ISH for me but they have choices on their menu, which are not solely fish or tofu products. One question ..?? is anything prepared to order? I mean it's a bunch of prepared foods sitting in the case on display.

Ford's Filling Station

It's not everyday we get taken out to lunch by a client and eat in a place where we have been wanting to do our food blog killing two birds with one stone.
So, we met with chef Ben Ford for a promotional campaigning he is doing with our client Dole, had some great food and dined with clients and friends.
It was dine LA Week and Chef Ford had a brilliant selection to choose from.
I had the Sturgeon Confit, which was brilliant with toasted crisp and seasoned bread. Fish and Chips which is one of the favs there and A Porchetta Sandwich which had ham and Caramelized onions grilled in a flat bread. Quite nice.
And of course, the desserts. cream puffs and Butterscotch pudding. what can I say, they were both good nothing was left over.
