Phototasting: A Gastrophotoblogging Experience, Checkers Downtown 2/6/2010

For those of you who have been with me since the beginning, do you remember when my food photos looked like this???

Well, it took four long years of experimenting with my photography for sushi to represented in a much better fashion on my blog. (OK fine, I got a new camera, but you know what they say. It's not the camera...) Now, I can make photos of sushi look more like this!


Where was Phototasting when I needed it? If only I had a fun workshop to go to back then when I couldn't take a picture to save my life and knew not a soul in our wonderful food blogosphere. If you can relate to what I went through, you're in luck! By coming to Phototasting--an interactive gastrophotoblogging workshop led my myself and other local food bloggers--you'll have an opportunity to learn and practice basic food photography skills while also getting a small tasting of Chef Todd Allison's winter seasonal menu and meeting new people. This workshop is geared toward both Point-and-Shoot and DSLR users, so don't worry if you don't shoot with fancy-schmancy equipment.

The workshop will be held on Saturday, February 6, 2010 from 12:30-3:00 pm at Checkers Downtown. Please see the media release below for more information. Register soon at http://phototasting.eventbrite.com/ as spaces are limited!



Phototasting

Do you like food? Do you like taking photos? Do you like taking photos of food? Phototasting is a unique opportunity to do all of the above with the guidance of several seasoned Los Angeles restaurant bloggers and the gorgeous new Winter Seasonal Menu of Chef Todd Allison.

Just found out about this from Tasting Table today. And of course, you're all sold out.

I'm sooo bummed! Will you do another one sometime?

This is so funny. I look back in horror at early blog pictures of my own. I tried to book for Phototasting the Thursday prior, but it was already sold out. Pewp. Waiting for a blog post about the event.
