when life gives you lemons, photograph 'em.
food photography tip no. 6: trust your eye. before you say you take bad photos, step back and take a look; your photos may not look like x's or y's, but is that really a bad thing? don't let dissatisfaction cloud your judgement about how good your photos probably are already. find the beauty in what you do. and take more photos for experience and to find your style.
*
final tip, no. 666: don't steal anyone else's photos--almost always you'll get caught out. ask permission to use a photo first.

love, love, love this one! The colors are amazing, not to mention the composition. I know it's probably supposed to look like it just happened, but did it really?

It made my day to see your blog up and running! It makes me homesick (and hungry for home food). Since I've been in the mainland for so long.
Thanks for sharing!

Heee... nothing make a food blogger more annoying than knowing that there is no more battery for taking the next picture, which is always the important one. *urgh*
