Food Styling, I've just discovered, is actually a foreign concept to me.  Go figure?

I cook a dish, I photograph it, and then I devour it.

The problem with this little method of mine, for me personally, is that I'm usually so hungry by the photographing stage that I give no time to styling the shot or developing the story.  I simply take a few quick snaps and Bob's your uncle.  Voila!

Thank God this workshop and Beth came into my life .  Not only is this simple little step so necessary, it also puts the biggest smile on my face.  I'm a long long way away from producing anything even vaguely close to Beth's level, but that's ok.  I figure the journey so far is what has brought me inquisitively to this point in time, and I've loved every minute of it!
