Description
Trent (my brother) and David (his partner) love to entertain.
When we found out Carin was really, truly going to be in Seattle, the first thing that got planned was dinner at Trent and David's place.
Dinner for family isn't much different there than any other dinner (and Carin IS family)! The silver, china and crystal get used every day. They figure, why have all this beautiful stuff and never use it? It's a wonderful philosophy!
The best part is that when dinner is over and we're all sitting around having one last quarter-glass of wine, nobody cares if I balance my camera on my water glass and take pictures of the table. :D
Dinner was delicious, and we had a great time!
Thanks again, Trent & David! :D

Wonderful capture, Tara! I love Trent & Dave's philosophy! My family is used to me and my camera NBD!
This has such a warm, 19th century look to it. You paint a wonderful picture of family and friends gathered around the table. The best silver, china and crystal are reserved for special occations which incudes anytime someone comes to dinner.
Oh, yes, Trent and David know how to set the table and they never mind if anyone crawls around after dinner!! I remember David rushing around, taking the fan away, saying, "OMG, I just know this is going to be on Renderosity!" This is a beautiful foto and I'm sure it was a great evening; wish I could have been there.
Beautiful shot!!
nice setting
Something very interesting (and edible?) reflected in the jug. Such a warm 18th Century feel to this.
Elegant!!!!!!
Gotta love these boys, they have such a fine taste in decoration. I always enjoyed your pictures taken in their home.(I like your other shots as well...lol) The softness adds to the warm welcoming atmosphere.
Reflecting on the time enjoyed! Clive
very very beautiful and cool photo
Well, and why not indeed! Looks like you had a really fine time.. Good shot! Rob
How gorgeous this is! I wish I could have been there too...and were you the only one taking photos of this beautiful scene?
Lovely soft and warm photography, Nice one.
This was indeed a most delightful night! I love Trent and David's house and the table was set beautifully. The food - SUPERB!!! The wine - South African!!! The company - THE BEST!!! What a wonderful capture Tara of such a memorable night! I think I was busy with the famous piano when you shot this!!
HAHAHA! NO wonder they dish up with the most beautiful China and silver they own. When they know WHO is coming for dinner. THE RENDEROSITY NINJA PHOTOGRAPHERS!!! Marilyn said it :-D Beautiful photo Tara :-)
Beautiful shot..and reflections..I love the colors
My favorite things...the company, the food and the atmosphere. Looking at a zoom of this photo carefully, I see you've captured the entire microcosm of that fun evening in the silver water pitcher...:) Love the postwork.
You captured it perfectly Tara and your comments make me think of what it must have been eating there. Great mood!
A taste of class.... Nice shot. Aloha
Very beautiful atmosphere and splendid lights effects.Bravo Tara!
beautiful silver and picture, beautiful ambience on this, everyone would like to be invited..
Very artistic compo!
A lovely still life, Tara! Sounds like the perfect evening - what was that beer commercial a few years ago...."It doesn't get any better than this.." All this, and you probably didn't even need the vice-grips for the wine! Wonderful photo!
Time for an elegant diner !
Excellent shot...
Thank you for your nice support. Oh la, la :)!!!!! This is an 'absolute' in Art...
What a lovely bit of exquisiteness! I love the light, the colors, the reflections, the implications of dinner and the idea of silver and fine dinnerware serving a daily-use sort of life. I agree with their philosophy! And I see wine...or vino as it's called in Czech...I love it when Czechs steal words from other languages. What a gorgeous shot and a great memory capture of a fantastic time. How gorgeous!
