Dijo – food styling and photography of…..not food

I have have been told that I must have been bored to conceptualize this project. Well, partly yes and no. Dijo (say dee-jo – is a Sepedi word for food). With the saying “children in Africa are starving”, I turned inward to get some sort of perspective. Yes, (not just in Africa) “visual” starvation is real! The mundane everyday has become invisible, God’s creativity has become a nuisance as Saturdays are relegated to trimming and sweeping away nature’s bounty into neat little piles for destruction. With this in mind, i sought to find the “new beauty” in seasonal flexing, in a time to live and a time to die. Dijo was born. – food styling and photography of…..not food I have faith that this visual vortex will manifest into a “epic” coffee table book….one of these days Thank you for checking my work out Stay blessed – Vallentine http://jadijo.tumblr.com/
