Jimmy's Place . . .

Food to die for. I took some photos of food to be used for printing on the back of the business cards for Jimmy's Place, a cozy Mom & Pop diner style restaurant that is open for breakfast & lunch. Check it out sometime if you're ever in Union City, CA. The Mom & Pop (my Mom & Pop to be exact) would love to serve you some delicious home cooking!

Broke out the Cactus wireless triggers, light stands and umbrellas to help out with the lighting during the photo session.

A unique breakfast experience, Jimmy's skillet. Linguica, mushrooms, bell peppers and onions served on top of potatoes or rice with three eggs and yummy goodness.



No point avoiding it, you know you want a side of Beignets with you breakfast. A southern style doughnut topped with powdered sugar and a sweet vanilla sauce.



If you love burgers, try the Deluxe Burger. It's a double patty cheeseburger with lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles & a secret sauce. Best burger you'll have, promise.



For all your kids, try the homemade Fish and Chips, battered and fried to order.



What are you waiting for? Go try it out!

WOW...great photos! Was it a pain to get the lighting right?

Thanks!

Not too bad actually. Had a Vivitar 285HV with a shoot through umbrella above camera right and and a reflector to the left of the plate to soften the shadows a bit. Took a few shots to get the effect that I wanted, but didn't spend as much time on it as I thought I would have to.
