"One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly
stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating."

What I like: Photographing food is always interesting. You have to make sure to maintain the quality textures and colors of each food while making the food appealing and appetizing. I think I did a very good job (with the help of my camera) in taking good quality pictures. I also really like photographing food, especially when I personally get to plate the food. Also...today was the first day that I only posted horizontal photos! This is major progress for me, considering I am one who LOVES to shoot vertically.

Room for improvement: Of course, using a white plate and napkin against a white backdrop is always difficult. I need to learn how to better use lighting to create contrast and interesting shadows. 

Tricks to Better Photography: One quick word on photographing cuisine--Make good food and you'll make good photos. If it doesn't make you want to eat it just by seeing it in real life, your photo won't flatter the food any more than it's non-appetizing appeal will get you to dive on in.
