Spring [almost summer] Findings & Some Of the Things I've Learned

Today was a great day, I found some great fruits in the market and I decided to practice my food photography with beautiful peaches and pears. I think after reading some tips from Blogher food '11 Conference, my photography has improved.

In these photos, I used different colors, styles and the like, but I like them both. (:

I'll keep improving and practicing. Something really important that I learned was that it doesn't matter if I'm using my canon point n' shoot or if I can put my hands on a DSLR to shoot something, it is up to me to take that great picture. Learning to use your camera and feeling comfortable with it is really important, you have to know what does every little button can do and how you can use them for your advantage.

I'm feeling really happy with what I've accomplished at this time, and I hope to improve in every aspect of my photography, styling, and even my writing. I also hope that if you are learning like me, you do it from great personalities in the food photography world,practicing and sharing with everyone what you have learned, so that we all can share tips and enhance our photography.

Spring kisses & warm hugs to you all,

                                                   

Another Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe & a Journey For The Future

So, here I am, I've been having a hard time writing and baking. Have you ever had a time when you are totally up to doing something but it always ends up badly or you don't even have a chance to start? (This has been one of my longest questions ever!) Well, I'm in this time. Now I've been more into writing my personal feelings about what is going on in the other side of the screen; trying to combine that with food sounds easier than it is, at least for me.
It's been a while since I wrote my last post, and today I felt like I should finish this one that has been saved as draft for so long now, that I don't even remember what I was thinking when i started typing.

They're awesome in flavor

Well, in my Journey for the Future I've been looking for a place to live now that I'm leaving to college, actually it's harder than I thought. There are a couple months left for me to enjoy in my hometown, but it feels like time is running out, almost like water in my hands. I have a lot of things planned here, that I don't even know if I'll get to do half of them, so much pressure is on me right now with final exams in high school, all the paperwork that has to be done for college, housing, etc. But another thing that's been in my thoughts lately is finding the Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe that makes me go wild, the One! And it's not like I'm not going to bake when I'm gone, but the new tiny apartment kitchen and limited tools will make it very hard.

My goal for this summer vacation is to find THE recipe and bake a lot other things. I have a huge list of "What to bake next..." that I want most of the recipes there crossed by the time I'm in another city.

But let's get to the fun stuff, OK? The next Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe, that has been the one with the best flavor so far. This recipe is from David Lebovitz's Ready for Dessert: My Best Recipes. One more time they were flat. What’s wrong with my karma?? I'm starting to think it may have been because either one of these things:
