been posting a lot of weddings lately but in keeping with one of my new year’s resolutions this year, trying to photograph and style food, I wanted to share these sweet brownies I shot with Lucy. I think the bow was a nice touch but not sure about the fork.

Busy busy busy….Yes, I say this pretty much every time I post but it’s true. The good thing is that I am shooting more and more and learning lots. The bad thing is that I simply don’t have enough time to edit and post the photos here for your viewing pleasure. I am in the process of trying to streamline everything from the moment I put the camera down, to archiving and to posting. I think it’s important to do this in the very beginning no matter how much time it takes because it will benefit me later on in that it will make me more efficient and work quicker. However, with this task, it demands that I invest a big chunk of money on gear, such as larger hard drives, backup drives, a new computer (mine is somewhat ancient)…the list goes on…If you are a photographer, I would not mind your feedback or advice though, send me an email or leave me a comment.
Enough about me…Last week Lucy and I made some time to photograph some gyoza’s. I love gyoza’s, they are so easy to make and taste so good! It’s a very versatile “food” to work with! You can have it in soup, sans soup, pan fried, deep fried…I am starting to sound like Bubba from Forest Gump when he talks about shrimp.
Bubba: Anyway, like I was sayin’, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that’s about it.
if you still don’t know what I am talking about. Check the video.
Almost forgot…the gyoza pictures!
i think these are not bad but does not really tell a story. It is what it is, should add some extra props next time. Yes…we ate the props after. om nom nom nom
“muffin time it’s muffin time, won’t you have these muffin’s of mine…” Apart from photography, I would love to say something like…I love to bake or cook, but I unfortunately can’t add that into my pallet of skills. Lucy and I have been entertaining the idea of cooking and taking photos of our masterpieces just for fun. This would help us learn more about photography, lighting and we get to eat what we make! This weekend I decided to make muffins. Now, I must confess that this is not a receipe from scratch, it’s actually one of those powder mix ones where you add water and bake. However, I added a twist to it. Crushed some blueberries and added it into the mix and in 20 minutes! Cha Chang! Nothing stellar I know, but I think an admirable first try. One of the muffins even had that Tim Horton’s Fruit explosion like sensation to it because the blueberries clumped together! *yum*
