 We talked about the found compositions (the marshmallows over the grill) versus your set up still life and how there is a common thread of some kind.

 You used the word Primal – what is your definition of that (something to think about)

 I have a bunch of questions, nothing that you have to get back to me about right away or anything, just stuff to think about…

You also talked about Flemish Still Life and I was curious who your favorites are and what about them is attractive to you and what do you feel your work has in common (in terms of meaning as well as style).

 I would encourage when you are doing more tediously set up stuff that you do it two ways, first the intuitive way how ever you set it up. Then a second time where you work the details of the set up. The thing with set up shots is you have control  of all the elements so the details become so important (I'm sure you know all of this…)

 I really loved the detail of the wet spot on the table cloth where the water glass was sitting – that's a great detail and you can really push it.
