I must go to Target at least twice a week. It is my store of choice for cheap props to shoot, mostly because of their incredibly lenient return policy. This is also why I love Home Depot. Buy something, shoot it, take it back the next day. Free rental! Everybody else is pushing around carts full of baby diapers and lawn furniture and here I am, a total freak, my arms full of X-O cheetos and a selection of bright orange plastic dishware. The checkout lady did a double take. "You like orange, huh?"
Corn was yellow. I returned the plates today. Next monochromatic shot is orange. I've got red already, I did a shot of apples in my garage (you can see the reflection of my backyard). I accidentally - or maybe out of total laziness - left them out there and now they are like giant apple raisin things. It's hot out there.
