This is the kitchen area of a very quaint little diner in Wichita, Kansas called the Old Mill Tasty Shop.
In this kitchen we have a bar table and two seats, an induction stove and upper cabinets with no handles. A black fridgerator gives a nice counterbalance for the white surfaces.

Just a few of the many things I use in my kitchen. I love the Portrait feature on my iPhone!
Growing up my mom always had this type of string in our kitchen. So, I too have a ball of kitchen string in my kitchen.
Taking photos of a kitchen sink is more fun then doing the dishes. ;-)

My kitchen.
Where i enjoy cooking sometimes, but avoid like plague at other times.
Where i create food, sometimes palatable, sometimes completely inedible.
Where i think of my family in India the most.
Where the prospect of cleaning up afterwards takes over the joy of cooking itself.
I never knew kitchens could be this cathartic. ;)
Some fun in the kitchen, 3 hours in photoshop and voila!
Well, maybe not 3 hours but quite a lot of faffing around :o)
How wonderfully civil; fruit mince pies waiting to be eaten 'neath the Christmas tree.
I make fruit mince pies each year for family and friends for Christmas as a gift. What started as a small offering has now become almost too much for me as word spread, and requests came in. Now that I work part-time, it makes it a little easier. I have to set aside a whole weekend at least which I devote just to the baking of Christmas fare in my little kitchen. So as my oven temperature increases, so does the volume on my stereo as I play a selection of my Christmas albums whilst I bake.
This year is a record with 172 individual mince pies, each made by hand using a sweet shortcrust pastry recipe more than a century old, to which I add a spoonful of love for everyone who receives them.
Merry Christmas and bon appétit!

"There's always something beautiful to be experienced wherever you are. Right now, look around you and select beauty as your focus." - Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
This was not intended to be a still life. It was not consciously set up as such. Come home from shopping, take fruit out of bag, put fruit in the bowl. What doesn't fit, just lay it on the counter. Saw the flowers walking in with the groceries. Narcissists. Pick some, bring them in, find a glass container, stick them in. Simply so, as it adds life to the kitchen.
It starts getting dark, so turn on some light; in this case the desk lamp temporarily sitting on the counter because the electrician is busy, and the overhead lights recessed in the ceiling aren't working at the moment.
And... Oh.
Good old Dr. Wayne may not have been speaking strictly about things physical or visual at that moment, but I'll take it there.
As such, I suppose this beauty everywhere, anywhere, anytime is an experience that many artists (especially visual artists) are fortunate to have as a possibility each day of their lives. See the Beauty. Select it. Acknowledge it. Regardless of circumstances.
Perhaps it is by temperament, perhaps it is by training and practice, either way, it feels as if visual artists have a bit of a leg up in this respect.
Of course, visual artists are not alone in this. Many children have the ability, but it gets drummed out of them by adults, society, our education system.
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." - Picasso
I think the ability to see beauty at any moment remains within us, even if you now feel yourself to be an artistically or creatively stunted adult. I believe it is recoverable - that it never goes away - if you desire to recover it.
And THAT is the issue. YOU must DESIRE to see the beauty. To see with the child's eyes you used to have, with no "ifs, ands, yeah buts" or "what abouts." You have to decide that it is possible for YOU (something so many deny themselves - that possibility for THEMSELVES).
And then, start seeing, start noticing, start selecting.
"YEAH but, what is beauty?" (Classic "yeah but, what about" joy killer question. I hate that.)
Get a group of ten, four year-olds. Take them outside into the yard, or leave them in the house even. Ask them, simply, "find something beautiful or pretty and bring it to me."
"Ten different people bring ten different colors." - Japanese Proverb
Yeah. That's it. Do what they just did. Be four.
This is the kitchen in my grandmother's home. It has changed very little in my lifetime or since it was built in 1947 for that matter.
So much of my life centers around this very spot where I stood to take this picture. Early mornings when my grandmother would send me off to school with a hearty breakfast of pancakes and sausage. Evenings coming home exhausted from track practice to the welcoming smells of home cooking. Helping grandma wash dishes while we discussed the day's issues. Summers with friends tracking dripping water across the floor in our wet swimsuits as we dashed in to grab a popsicle. Preparing bedtime snacks with grandpa. He would smile and pat me on the head. Late night talks with my uncles over hamburgers. Countless family gatherings with more people crammed into this small space than you could imagine. Happy greetings. Hugs and long goodbyes (just to the left of the window is the door out to the driveway).
If these old walls,
If these old walls could speak
Of the things that they remember well,
Stories and faces dearly held
...the little shelf with plants in cups is from niji-ya - it has a lot of texture changes and also a wall version - i love it...<3
The kitchen is 99% finished, but only because I’ve decided enough is enough. I think I’ve decided it’s done and will go onto another room.
I'm reviewing this years shots and adding my favorites to my portfolio. There is no need to comment. Happy holidays to all.
This is how the kitchen turned out. Our cleaning lady has recently said she was looking forward to every Friday when she could spend a couple of hours in our place :)
Kitchen, kitchen. It's the hottest place in every house. It's where the women meet during family summits. It's where you hear 'the news' first. It's where you ask your mother 'what's all about the bird-and-bees-stuff'. It's where you weep on your sisters shoulder. It's where you prefer to smoke. It's the perfume place of your life. Here is the floor where you made your first steps... it is your kitchen.
[please feel free to share your kitchen memories!]
A red-shouldered hawk hunting for lunch in my backyard. I took the picture through my kitchen window. I had to get a step-stool to get up high enough to shoot though a windowpane above the screen.

Close up photograph of kitchen implements.
Indeed, I made more than one photograph in the kitchen this week. Will this be a new stylistic direction in my photography? Stay tuned and find out! Like yesterday’s photograph, this subject was on the kitchen counter. I needed something to test out a new camera with a macro lenses, no tiny bugs were handy, so here we are.
As I pondered these two kitchen photographs it stuck me that the patterns, especially with all of the soft blur in the images, reminded me of some close-up photograph s I have made of grasses and similar plants.
