Umamiporn: California Sun-kissed Picturelog
I took a much-needed trip back home to California in May for two weeks. I risked contracting the swine flu to indulge in my second passion after eating – photography with my grandma’s 1970s Nikon EM film camera.
I love taking photos of food in Tokyo, but there’s something about the California sun that saturates food with perfect lighting.
