Summer Diptychs

July 26, 2012 by Joy the Baker 49 Comments

summer diptics

I’ve been out in the world this summer.  Taking in some new air and some new sites.  It’s great.  It’s totally necessary… I’m going to be hunkered down in my kitchen for Fall and Winter cooking up a few very big projects for you!  For now, I’m living (and trying to exercise as much as possible) before I bust out the butter and caramel sauce this Fall.  Big things coming!  I can’t wait to tell you more about them.

For now I hope you’ll enjoy this Friday taking in some diptych.  Two pictures.  Two different locations.  Just me trying to live.

Incidentally, Diptic is a pretty rad iPhone app that makes all of these pictures possible on the go.

Above:

Venice California sunset, unfiltered.

San Francisco sunset, glowing and brisk.

Teaching a food styling class with my friend Shutterbean.  Find your style!

My style is toasting marshmallows with a torch, duh.

Shady roads, the Hamptons.

Sunny skies, Palm Springs.

I hope you have a tremendous weekend.  I hope you do things that you both love and regret.  I’ll be back Monday with a pie.

Some things are certain.  Pie is one of those things.

    The pics were really awesome at their day. Have you upgraded your gear nowadays and what do you use?
    I also got your cookbook and I love it. Thanks!

    Thanks for sharing part of who you are in your posts, and the way you see the world outside of cooking, as well as inside that joy. I love to bake, which is how I first found your blog, but I’m current on an autoimmune healing diet (strict!!!) I’ve seen major progress in my health, so I’m grateful, but I miss the cookies. Some day I’ll have them again. In the meantime I still visit your blog, because even when I can’t eat cookies, you words make me smile.

    Too fun! So happy you’re able to find time to make memories outside of the kitchen, too! :)
