Today’s my birthday! I’m not saying how old I am, but I did want to say that over the past few weeks I’ve been slowly collecting birthday gifts that will up the ante of my food photography on Wasabimon. I’ve actually got years of photo training (in the traditional film world, that is), but you would never know it due to the fact that I’ve been using a crappy point-and-shoot digi. Ew!

So, over the next few weeks I’ll be experimenting with photo techniques, and I’d love your feedback. If you see a photo you like, please comment and say what you like about it! Same goes for images that don’t quite work – I’m working the bugs out of this newfangled digital thing, and would definitely appreciate your feedback.

ETA: And I’d like to wish a very happy birthday to fellow gemini food blogger Karina Allrich, with whom I share this great summer birthday.
