Keeping it real

Earlier this week, I posted some photos of my first foray into ice-cream making. I'm a, what the French say, débutante, when it comes to photography; up until beginning of this year, I've only been shooting with a simple point-and-shoot camera.  The ice-cream photoshoot was one of the most frustrating one that I've ever come across since I started to get more serious with photography - food photography, actually - and started shooting with a digital SLR.

Central California Photography Expedition September 2009

We decided to take a road trip down south, along the beautiful California coastline - Highway 1. We've talked about doing this for a long time but as usual, life took over and months, years passed by. Here we are, 9 years later and we haven't taken that drive down Hwy 1 to Central Coast!
