I’m currently in love with foodgawker.com, a site that takes beautiful food photo submissions from food bloggers around the world. I’ve found some delicious recipes and the photos are all spectacular. Plus I get to discover fellow food blogs I might not otherwise have ever found.

I have to say it’s a little addictive, one minute I’m checking out the proper way to melt butter, then I’m reading about how to make Jacques’ Chocolate Mudslide Cookies. All I know is it’s both inspiring and intimidating.

I like to think my photography and digital editing skills are coming along, but my photos don’t even compare to the artistry of these images. They’re the kind of food photos you’d expect on a chef, cookbook or restaurant website, but they’re just from everyday people with a passion for food.

But who knows, with some time, practice and maybe tips from a professional, I might be ready to submit one of my own somewhere down the line.
