Shooting the caviar.
Hey, did you know Tonya returned to the world of active blogdom? I just noticed she blogged last Thursday's dinner, replete with a hilarious photo of me and Nina photographing the caviar-and-salmon-on-potato hors d'oeuvres. She includes a really lovely picture I took of her, and then a picture of me looking like I'm mercilessly assassinating the appetizers. Nina's looking cold-blooded, while I seem to be more at the heat-of-passion degree of criminal intent toward the fish eggs. (Strangely, someone in the comments over here, talking about a different photograph, thinks Nina and I look like we belong in a "Lethal Weapon" flick.)

Very funny post! I laughed so hard that it brought tears to my eyes. When I posted the photo, I thought it offered a funny send up of our practice of visually documenting the food served at dinner parties. But, I like Ann's take on the photo more. And, she's right. She and Nina do look like mobsters making a hit on . . . the appetizer.
Kind of brings back memories of "Thelma and Louise." Except the enemy isn't men, it's food. I think there's also a bit of an "Absolutely Fabulous" vibe to this picture. With Nina as Edie and me as Patsy. Or is it the other way around? I think in Thelma and Louise terms, Nina's clearly claiming the Louise role.
I like your picture a lot, by the way, and it is funny for the reason you state. I usually choose very serene-looking pictures of the dinners to put on my blog, and they make you forget that if you took a step back there'd be all this hectic activity of people with cameras.
hmmm...Veronica Lake peek-a-boo eye...David Hemmings "Blow-Up" camera...and you look like you just said "No more wire hangers!!!"
yes, it does capture the naturalness of life...
the yard in the back looks very calming....
Funny, Ron. Really, I don't know why I look angry in that picture. It must just be my attitude about having my picture taken. I was perfectly happy that evening!
