I’ve long said I am not a “foodie”. I don’t cook. When I do I’m not exactly bad, but I just don’t cook. I can’t follow recipes well at all and any cake I have ever baked has flopped. I am not a foodie. I don’t know much about foods. I can’t tell you what makes a white sauce. I know the basics and nothing more. That being said, I am happy to declare myself a Food Enthusiast. Yes, I can definitely live up to that. I love food - sometimes a little too much and my scale can prove it. But I do love food and more importantly to me, I love photographing food. I love how a good food shot can make your mouth water. You imagine the smell, the taste, the texture - all from a photo. For awhile I’ve dabbled on and off with food photography and I’ve recently decided to take it a little more seriously and keep the dabbling turned on for a bit longer. I have a lot to learn about food photography, but also about food and food styling. There’s a lot involved and I plan on really delving into as much of it as I can. If this means baking delicious blueberry muffins (thanks Fel) and having to indulge in those muffins after a photoshoot - well, I guess I can make that sacrifice. So yes, expect a lot more Food Enthusiasm here.

I’ve also got a design in the works. I’m already starting to dislike it slightly, but that’s the way it usually goes. I’ll probably launch it in the coming weeks anyway just so I can feel a bit better about this site.
