The Dawn of a New Era (aka: I Finally Got My Camera!)


Excuse the melodrama, but I'm really excited!

For those who are in school, like me, I want to tell you to keep holding on, for there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Yes, my friends. It hasn't snowed in months, allergy season is kicking in, and it's rained for the last five days straight. You know what that means, don't you? Summer is finally on its way!

This especially makes me happy, because the change of seasons means that I will, God willing, have more time for this blog. Unfortunately, during the school season, I don't always have the time to write as many posts as I would like. But because yesterday was the last day of classes, I have a couple of days to unwind and work on a couple of passion projects before finals start, hence this new post.

For those who glossed over the title, I have met a major benchmark in the progress of this blog. Very shortly after my first post, I realized that a large part of being able to appreciate food is because it is aesthetically pleasing. Because blogs are meant to be taken in visually, it would be almost impossible to communicate my passion for food (in any form that may take), without adequate images. Since I did not have a camera, I had no means to do so, unless a friend helped me or I relied on stock images from the internet. But about three months ago, I had the opportunity to purchase a pre-owned Canon Rebel XT from a photographer friend.

While I'm still getting used to it, I have been able to use it to capture restaurant food, my own home cooking, and Morocco (all of which will definitely be covered in later posts). And while I am, by no means, a professional, I hope to improve as time goes on.
