A Few Secrets







Want to know a secret? OK, it's not really a secret since I talk about it all of the time. I love food. I especially love great food. I also love photography. So... combine the two and I am in heaven. I was hired last year by chef Gabriel DeLeon to photograph his Mexican restaurant La Margarita in Irving - this also included photographing food. I was so surprised by the beautiful presentation of his dishes(and all of the scrumptious looking adult beverages he prepared with each entree). I was tempted to try everything, but conscsious of my waistline and the fact I had to actually operate the camera, I only tried a couple of items. I had eaten there as a patron before and since, and found the food to be delicioso (and beautiful)! Well, we are at it again as he opens up his second restaurant, Masaryk, in Addison Circle. How lucky I feel to get to photograph his creations again! So, the final secret... Go and try either of his restaurants, La Margarita in Irving or Masaryk in Addison, and you'll be hooked!

Bluebonnets!










They're here! Please take a look at some of the images captured over this last weekend. It was beautiful on Friday and Saturday, and everyone did such a great job out there. I just added two more discounted days to the shooting schedule - tomorrow, Wednesday April 8th and Monday April 12th. Sorry for the late notice but I was waiting to see how this weather panned out. Freezing one day and 85 degrees the next. Welcome to Texas (and Texas bluebonnet weather)!
