Just to show how lame I am I decided to make my 100th post on Instagram special. I don't know how many of you know how much I love donuts, but I feel like I can eat a mountain of them! So before I devoured all of them I wanted to take a photo! Three cheers for my 100th post on Instagram and thank you Food&Wine magazines for keeping me company while I ate the donuts! My Instagram is @jasminegreenphoto.
The time has come to show off my food photography skills! At the Gallery 8680 in Frisco, Texas on December the 5th from 6 PM- 9 PM I will be displaying a series of burger images called Big D Burgers. Big D Burgers is a series of photographs taken at both corporate and family owned restaurants in the Dallas metroplex. The images focus on the increasing amount and variety of burger establishments and this yielded the opportunity to experience the Dallas food scene. Food is a huge part of people’s everyday lives and it varies from place to place. This body of work signifies the local culture in the city of Dallas using burgers as the subject. One dish can be prepared in many different ways and it all depends on the region people are located in. Taking photographs on location was challenging, but worthwhile because it gave the food photography personality. Professionally, I want to become a traveling food photographer and this series allowed for the opportunity to be a Dallas food photographer. With these images of food, I hope to inspire people to experience the diversity of Dallas burgers, starting with traditional American food locally.
So in conclusion I would like everyone to come and show their support for me and my fellow photographers as we display the photography that expresses who we are.

In uptown Dallas there is a building off Mckinney and Olive being built. This building is turing out to be architecturally amazing! This tall glass building has the best view of Dallas and I had to go check it out.
My crew and I crawled through the mud to invade this construction site in order to get a closer look at the view of Dallas. Little did we know we had to climb 24 flights of stairs in order to get to the view. As we are climbing this seemingly endless stairway it gets darker and darker. I am afraid of the dark so the higher we climbed the more scared I became.
After being winded from scaling the numerous flights of stairs we reached the top! This experience was the most liberating because it was the moment that I felt like a real urban photographer. Being in the building that is being constructed is a memorable experience. Not many people can say they were inside this building while it was being built and as far as I know these shots will not be available again because this area might not be accessible when the building is complete.
I had a great time getting to photograph this even though the stairs were challenging, the weather was freezing cold, the environment was dark, and trespassing was intimidating. I'm glad we made it and now onto the next challenge!
