1. Why the blog name?

I'm often asked this and I wish I had a great answer, but I don't. It came to me, I liked it and stuck with it.

2. What got you started?

I use to work as a marketer for restaurants and when I was laid off, I started the blog as a way to stay in food and to explore all the things I didn't have time to play with before.

3. What defines your photography and blogging philosophy?

For both food and blogging: Learn some fundamental rules then break them when you can; otherwise, things get stagnant and I get bored.

4. What's your favorite recipe?

5. What are your top three favorite food photography blogs?

This is always changing, but right now:
  • The Food Dept. -- Always a point of inspiration
  • Hungry Ghost Food + Travel -- Best use of light. Period.
  • House of Brinson -- Clean and never over-styled.

6. In addition to food photography and blogging, what else do you do for a living?

I was just recently laid off due to my office moving out of state. I haven't decided if I'll go back to a day job. For now, I'm blogging full time.

7. What's one thing you would recommend to aspiring food photographers and bloggers?

Have fun and get involved with others through meet-ups or social media -- it's the best place to connect, learn and expand your skills.
