{food photography : watermelon radish}
7 Sep
how cute are these?!
i don’t even know what to say about this adorable vegetable. when my new boss {i left the corporate world last week – details to follow!} told me that this looked like a watermelon inside, the first thought in my head was, “well, that would fotograph just perfectly with black lava salt!” 😀
now, i am not the biggest radish fan on this earth, but i do occasionally get cravings for them. i roasted some once, which totally changes their flavour – almost making the “bite” more tolerable. radishes are high in vitamin c and potassium, and they are a very low-calorie food.
these watermelon radishes are so pretty…
and sure enough, are a bright magenta colour inside!
watermelon radish…
so i obviously had to cut them into little watermelon-shaped slices…
sprinkle on some wonderful black lava salt.. for taste, and for effect! 😉
hello, watermelon radish!
nom nom… nom.
{zucchini “mini-me”}
24 Aug
when a friend of mine pointed out this super-cool-looking zucchini squash to me… i exclaimed, “i wanna take a picture of that!” 😉
i always buy the “weird-looking” produce… mainly for this here bloggy blog, but also because – weird is cool.
{beautiful and colourful cherry tomatoes}
13 Aug
i can’t seem to get enough of these gorgeous locally-grown organic and adorable cherry tomatoes, lately…
i fotograph and write about these amazing little gems all the time… i just think they are so beautiful! and they are so incredibly delicious! so flavourful and juicy! i just pop ’em in my mouth like candy… nature’s candy!
nom nom…
and i put them in everything – my salads, my risotto, my frittatas, my sauces, my {awesome} zucchini strips…
these little red ones look kinda like strawberries… teehehe
FOOD IS SO COOL!!!!! 😀
{the beach…}
9 Aug
oh how i wish i could dig my toes in the warm sand right now… inhale the ocean air and feel the breezy salty mist on my face… listen to the crash of the ocean waves and the peaceful sound of the ebb and flow of the water… i’m desperately seeking a rendezvous with the big blue! ❤
what have you been daydreaming about?! have an awesome weekend!
{whatever wednesday : wild wild raspberries from the wild wild west}

{1,000 followers! – that deserves a giveaway!}
20 MarFRIENDS!!
ONE THOUSAND of you, specifically! wow – THANK YOU!
that seems like a really big number to me. it makes me feel very humble. and it makes me so grateful that THAT MANY PEOPLE find what i have to say valuable, interesting, or at least somewhat entertaining enough to make a simple gesture like click the “follow” button…
in the two years that food & foto has had life, i have found myself growing and changing right along with the blog. from refining what it is all about, to being honest and open about things, to many twists and turns – we’re almost parallel, my blog and me.
i just was blown away today when i had my 1000th follower sign up to join the fun! and it inspired me to want to do something special to honour it.
and what better to do just that – than a GIVEAWAY!!!???!!!?!!!??!?!
the big question is – what?! what do i give away? it can be anything i want, i suppose. i could find a vendor that wanted to donate something… meh. i can do that anytime. i could give away some healthy-eating coaching… meh. i kind of do that already. i could donate a portrait session… meh. been there, done that. i could give away a camera?!?! dude, that would be amazing… but i don’t have one to give away…
hmph.
would a beautiful print from my lab suffice? your choice – a personalized print from my portfolio. i have an extensive one, you know… portraits, landscapes, editorial, street photography, NYC, california, rocky mountains, macro, food, fine art… what’s your pleasure?!
and my goodness, how do i get people to get involved?
why, you already are!!! just by following my blog, you are already automatically entered in the drawing for a free fine art print of your choice! i will give away 5 prints before the end of April. I will post a blog with choices and the lucky 5 winners will win a print of their choice.
how’s that sound?!
mostly, i just wanted to do SOMETHING to show my appreciation to each of you for following my blog. as i’ve mentioned, this is my personal little playground and i love engaging and hearing from each of you. i may not always respond, but i want to take this time to tell you how much i appreciate the support! as an introvert, knowing what i have to say in print matters… matters.

{aspen-leaf swiss chard}
11 Mar
i have always thought swiss chard was so beautiful. the colours, the intricate web-like design on the leaves, the fun “bubbly” type texture… and i thought this one was particularly cool. for one, it kind of reminds me of an aspen leaf – the shape of it. and for two, look at the fun pink tip – it’s like a paintbrush…
nature’s paintbrush 😉
how beautiful and cool is that?! nature does it best. Continue reading
