This morning, I was browsing the Food Photography and Styling group at Food Blog Forum (if you’re a food blogger or contemplating venturing into it, I highly recommend joining the community). One of the discussions started was about submitting photos [...]

 
If you were thinking that this might be a post about green tea ice cream, that won’t come until some time next week. I need some time to make it just right, and it’s almost there, but I know I can make it better.
