This weeks goals were to really capture little things about The Grill that most people might just miss over.  I wanted to show the simplicity of the diner, but also bringing out its character.  I showed up around 6:30 p.m. to work more on dinner. I was hoping it would be busy because it is a big football game weekend, well that wasn’t the case. When I got to the restaurant, there was no one there. It gave me a chance to walk around and take detail shots of a lot of different things. I also got a chance to talk to the employees and build better relationships with them.
