Good bye 2015, Welcome 2016

Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on,
with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us

- Hal Borland -

Good bye 2015, thank you for the sweet and bitter memories
2016, here I stand, I smile and I'm ready

Meet the winners of DMBLGiT November 2015 Edition

First , I want to thank everyone who submitted their photos to DMBLGiT November 2015. We had a total of 25 entries come in from around the world and I really hope we can have more entries in the next event. I had so much fun hosting DMBLGiT, a monthly food photography event, called by some "a grandest foodporn event" on the web and discovered new blogs through this event.

You can view all photos on DMBLGiT November 2015 gallery with the name of the owner of each photo including the link of the blog post which I added right after all scores from our three judges were sent to me. It's nice to hop over to their blog and leave comment on their post. Special thank to our wonderful three judges Pamela Rodriguez, Bea and Neel for their time and energy. It's a tough job judging and I couldn't have done it without your help. I hope you had as much fun as I had browsing through the gallery and determining which photo is the most drool worthy, with outstanding composition, food styling, great lighting and correct focus.

"Does My Blog Look Good in This ?" (DMBLGiT) November 2015 Edition

To me, DMBLGiT event has a big role in my food photography journey. I met new friends who have the same passion and interest with me, I learned how to bake a cake and cooked food I've never tried before, I also learned how to produce a good food photo from all participants. DMBLGiT was the reason why I started to have a food blog ! I've hosted three times DMBLGiT in the past, and I'm more than happy to have a change to host this again for the fourth time.

Cold Brew Coffee

Have you  heard a quote that says "You can't buy happiness, but you can buy coffee and that is pretty close" ? In some ways, some people describe that drinking coffee makes them happy or at least they drink a cup of happiness. Either the first one or the second one fits for you better, or you probably have your personal quote to show your love of coffee, but now coffee has become a culture, a ritual before a person start the day in the morning. We can see how coffee affects mood.
