Still Life Set Up

What the hell and I doing here? I have set up a couple still lives for red an blue. I went crazy looking for things at the store to resemble these generic colors we have come to recognize. I am waiting on a history of still life book to come in the mail so I can understand them better. This picture is a terrible image but it send the idea of what I am looking at….. I don't know at this point if its alight stepping away from the simple images I was making. I have thought a lot about the square too and am thinking about relating the shape of the image to the emotional tie to that specific color. The goal would be in this images, which I might need a table cloth as well, is to make the background blurred so that the logos are not completely recognizable and I wanted to show the food on a symbolic pedestal, which is not shown here, to give it more hierarchy in the image. Maybe I am going crazy here and all this reading about color theory is making my brain and soul want to bleed colors but I am still sticking within the idea of the still life, color, food. Just having a complex on how saturated it should be, should the corporate world be brought into it, and how many layers do I need to prove a point? This is play……and I think at this time if there is something I am good at, thats it! Cross your fingers! I will set up some lights tomorrow and take better digital images before I go onto film. I would like to put together a couple ideas before I shoot any film yet.
