Hey, gang! Happy Friday! Today I want to talk about the trials and tribulations of food photography. Back in June, I wrote a post about wanting to boost my involvement with Shock Munch.

Flames, Refurbish, and Fun – OH MY!
Flames It’s been overwhelming tough for US citizens these past few months. Hurricanes are pummeling the east coast and wildfires are scorching the west.

Wahclella Falls
