We made Chocolate Cake Pops in prep for Valentine’s Day!
How romantic and delicious, cake on a stick 
And for your viewing pleasure, the elusive double cake pop!

Answer: Me
I’m a big fan of CreativeLive’s business model – have a free livestream during the recording weekend and sell replays at variable rates. In my experience the result is a great quality piece of informative work that provides enough capital to continue its mission of enriching others through more accessible knowledge.
This month they are having a series of classes, and one in particular caught my eye: Setting Up a Home Studio with John Cornicello.
Just last night I was wanting to take part in some indoor food photography of a delicious homecooked meal, but lack of light prevented me from taking any shots. “I need a lightbox,” I muesd to no one in particular… Turns out I was speaking to the CreativeLive Gods, as they have blessed me with the knowledge I so very need!
I’ve taken to taking notes during watching the lectures. It reminds me of school in the best of ways: trying to capture the raw dissemination of knowledge with your net of pen and words. The thrill of the hunt, I guess.
If you’ve ever wanted to learn about making and using a home photography studio, consider visiting the CreativeLive free streaming page on January 10th between 12 and 530pm. Even just five minutes of listening in will give you a tidbit of knowledge to make you into a better photographer!
I love kitties!
They are so cute.
So adorable.
So sleepy!
Who else loves kittens?
Today Kristin and I ventured down to the Parkdale Market here in Ottawa.
It’s still too early in the market season to find a lot of local produce, most of it seen here is from elsewhere in the world. Still beautiful though! What an array of colors.
Ontario-grown beefsteak tomatoes. Delicious!
The vendors are very nice and welcoming as always.
While it’s not yet local veggie time, it certainly is flower time! With such a wonderful selection of amazingly colored flowers, there’s something for everyone to love, and at very good prices too.
These are the flowers Kristin selected. I’m excited to see how well they will bloom throughout our summer.
My super friend Kristin (check out her new blog, whatskristincooking) and I have made a pact to cook and photograph interesting and delicious recipes. We got together earlier on this week and created these tarts and photos!
I’ve learned quite a bit from my weekend course about food photography. Already I’m exploring my subject more and composing shots with more skill! Can you tell it?
My goal is to increase my photography skills by making some amazing photographs, just like the ones we see in cookbooks and magazines that take our eye and make our mouths water. I’d love to hear your feedback about these photos so don’t hesitate to leave a comment below
