I am also a creative cook and enjoy experimenting with fusion cuisine. The art of food styling is something I would like to do more of. For now I am satisfied with taking pictures of raw ingredients or food that I've prepared, to leave a legacy of pictures with recipes for my daughter.
I take photographs for the pure enjoyment of it as well as for posterity. I get a thrill out of reviewing the photographs I take and watching how it all turns out. There is a sense of connection with that moment in time when I captured an image that continues to resonate with me long after.
