At the San Antonio Museum of Art David Halliday currently has an exhibition showing called "Culinary Delights". Halliday explores the alternative process of sepia toned silver gelatine prints that produce scrumptious photographs. These are no ordinary culinary photographs that one would see in a recipe book. His technique and composition are so unique that some images are hard to identify as food. Specifically his Cauliflower image which illuminated with a very soft light yet contrasted enough to enhance a shadow of the composition. The photo of the photograph does this original image no justice. The rich variations of the sepia are strongly evident. Halliday was able to accomplish a deep tone of sepia which reads across as very aged with contrast of antique like tones. These tones vary from a brown like hue to variations of purple and pink. This show is a must see!
