He has worked mainly in the advertising industry for the past twenty years, based at his London studio, and now lives with his (as he says) &quot;long suffering&quot; wife and four children in the Kent countryside.&lt;br /&gt;_________________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ateliermends.blogspirit.com/media/00/02/4defc19cee9c215b0332476d742078c5.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://ateliermends.blogspirit.com/media/00/02/46ecbc73341ddd779c5d3d7309448110.jpg&quot; id=&quot;media-165834&quot; title=&quot;Carl Warner, Car Warner&quot; alt=&quot;4defc19cee9c215b0332476d742078c5.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border-width: 0; float: left; margin: 0.2em 1.4em 0.7em 0;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;English photographer Carl Warner&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Photographe anglais Car(l) Warner&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;____________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Selon la biographie très brève sur son site, Carl Warner est né à Liverpool en 1963 et il a passé la plupart de sa vie à dessiner et à faire du photo.  Il a travaillé principalement pour la pub depuis vingt ans, dans son atelier à Londres, et il vit aujourd'hui avec (comme il dit) sa femme &quot;qui supporte tout depuis toujours&quot; et leurs quatre enfants à la campagne de Kent.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;____________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ateliermends.blogspirit.com/media/00/01/1d1e8cc6d59722a272efeaa3756c6a16.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://ateliermends.blogspirit.com/media/00/01/7b5ce61895066054bda305ce8c482add.jpg&quot; id=&quot;media-165854&quot; title=&quot;Carl Warner, Car Warner&quot; alt=&quot;1d1e8cc6d59722a272efeaa3756c6a16.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;Coconut Haystacks&quot;:  rice, coconuts, cereals, cabbage sky&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Veillotes de noix de coco&quot;:  riz, noix de coco, graines, ciel en choux&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;______________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is not an awful lot of information out there on Carl.  For starters, his foodie photos have been doing the rounds on the French-speaking internet with an unfortunate error:  the French speakers think his given name is &quot;Car&quot;.  I did manage to find a French site that added another precious bit of information:  he can't get his children to eat their vegetables.&lt;br /&gt;______________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ateliermends.blogspirit.com/media/01/00/d48ed1a42755e0fca6b142f6608fb14d.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://ateliermends.blogspirit.com/media/01/00/b6cc29eef1ea29506d8c5c48379c14cf.jpg&quot; id=&quot;media-165860&quot; title=&quot;Carl Warner, Car Warner&quot; alt=&quot;d48ed1a42755e0fca6b142f6608fb14d.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;Fruit Balloons and Cart&quot;:  fruit and vegetable &quot;balloons&quot;, broccoli, potatoes, corn, zucchini, asparagus, carrot church, cheese village&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Ballons de fruit et charrette&quot;:  &quot;ballons&quot; en fruit et légumes, broccoli, pommes de terre, mais, courgette, asperge, église en carotte, village en fromage&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;______________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Il n'y pas beaucoup d'information là sur Carl.  Pour commencer, ses photos gastronomiques font le tour de l'internet francophone avec une erreur malheureuse:  les francophones pensent que son prénom est &quot;Car&quot;.   Mais j'ai réussi à trouver un site français avec encore un bout d'information précieuse:  il peut pas faire manger de légumes à ses enfants.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;_____________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ateliermends.blogspirit.com/media/01/00/c4b9b61e4aee05ff94a2bae1810cba95.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://ateliermends.blogspirit.com/media/01/00/fc6bd5abf2cf5967eb963cfe1360c7ec.jpg&quot; id=&quot;media-165863&quot; title=&quot;Carl Warner, Car Warner&quot; alt=&quot;c4b9b61e4aee05ff94a2bae1810cba95.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;Tuscan Kitchen&quot;:  vegetables, pasta, cheese&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Cuisine toscane&quot;:  légumes, pâtes, fromage&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;__________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His website is well  worth a visit:  his more &quot;ordinary&quot; work has a striking yet eery hyper-reality to it that explains his successful advertising career.  His clever transformations of the ordinary into the extraordinary are not limited to only food, recalling the wit of a Pablo Picasso having a look at a bicycle seat...&lt;br /&gt;______________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ateliermends.blogspirit.com/media/01/02/baa9acccb80d0b997f226fce269135b7.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://ateliermends.blogspirit.com/media/01/02/8f09f6917a58ddfc5211d3e0d76917c3.jpg&quot; id=&quot;media-165868&quot; title=&quot;Carl Warner, Car Warner&quot; alt=&quot;baa9acccb80d0b997f226fce269135b7.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;Stainless Steel City&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Ville en Inox&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;_____________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Son site vaut la visite:  son travail plus &quot;ordinaire&quot; possède une hyper-réalité étrange et frappante qui explique sa carrière à succès dans la pub.  Ses malins transformations du quotidien en chose remarkable ne sont pas limitées à l'alimentaire; il rappelle l'esprit d'un Pablo Picasso considérant le siège de son vélo...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;______________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ateliermends.blogspirit.com/media/01/00/6b5206fd87648f6971ff53c5fdf77634.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://ateliermends.blogspirit.com/media/01/00/38396b921c13b62fa229969c8a84928f.jpg&quot; id=&quot;media-165873&quot; title=&quot;Pablo Picasso&quot; alt=&quot;6b5206fd87648f6971ff53c5fdf77634.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;Bull's Head&quot;, Pablo Picasso, 1943&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Tête de taureau&quot;, Pablo Picasso, 1943&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;______________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carl Warner's work can be viewed and purchased at:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lenswall.com/subjects.php?s=100&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.lenswall.com/subjects.php?s=100&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Le travail de Carl Warner peut être visionné et acheté à:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lenswall.com/subjects.php?s=100&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.lenswall.com/subjects.php?s=100&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the curious his actual website is at the following address:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.carlwarner.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.carlwarner.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pour les curieux, son site propre se trouve à l'adresse suivante:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.carlwarner.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.carlwarner.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;_______________________________________________________________________________________________

                    &lt;a href=&quot;http://ateliermends.blogspirit.com/media/02/01/06b33012047f2a16885a987c4b210de1.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://ateliermends.blogspirit.com/media/02/01/d8a806133c6c06911e36ef2525393474.jpg&quot; id=&quot;media-93748&quot; title=&quot;&quot; alt=&quot;06b33012047f2a16885a987c4b210de1.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border-width: 0; float: left; margin: 0.2em 1.4em 0.7em 0;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I love eating or drinking where they know you.  For example Le Select in Paris, near Vavin, has been an early morning hangout of mine for several years.  The waiters watch me come in the door and wordlessly bring me a café-crème (no sugar necessary) and a warm croissant without my saying anything other than good morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a food lover, I was thus wandering in the realm of good grub videos and came across this surprising and little-known specialty:  latte art.  Some of the techniques I recognize from my years as a food and wine interpreter; I saw cuisine and pastry chefs use them to decorate their work for that final astonishing finish.  Others are clearly specific to this strange and curious art form.  Got three minutes?  Please enjoy (yum, yum) the video below.  Click on the play button.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;J'adore manger ou boire là où on te connait.  Par exemple, Le Select à Paris, près de Vavin, est devenu un peu ma cantine d'une façon matinale pendant plusieurs années.  Les serveurs me voient entrer par la porte et sans un mot ils m'apportent un café crème (les sucres, c'est pas la peine) et un croissant chaud, sans que je dise quoi que ce soit, à part bonjour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En tant que quelqu'un qui aime manger, ainsi j'errais dans le domaine de vidéos &quot;bonne bouffe&quot; et j'ai découvert cette spécialité surprenante et peu connu:  l'art du café latte.  Quelques-une des techniques je reconnais de mes années comme interprète dans la gastronomie et le vin; les chefs cuisine et les chefs pâtissiers les utilisaient pour décorer leur travail pour cette finition étonnante.  D'autres sont clairement spécifique à cette forme étrange et curieuse de l'art.  Vous avez trois minutes?  S'il vous plaît, prenez le plaisir de regarder (miam, miam) la vidéo ci-dessous.  Cliquer sur le bouton &quot;play&quot;.  &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;355&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/ZDZs__m5iAI&amp;rel=1&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/ZDZs__m5iAI&amp;rel=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;355&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got one more minute?
