The Bun is Out of the Oven



We made our own baby announcements to introduce Oliver to the world. He was so so so tiny and looked like a pork bun. A delicious, succulent, Momofuku-caliber pork bun.

But he's not really as small as the photo shows. First we tried to shoot it in-camera, that is, without any retouching. This is how it looked.

Not exactly right. Not the effect we were going for. He obscured the gloves so the joke didn't come across. Then we got confirmation that this just wasn't going to work in the form of hysterical (hilarious) crying.


So we shot my hands in the mitts and oliver against a black felt background. With a little photoshop and some scanned hand-written words, we cobbled it together.
