An October Day in Pictures

I spent the day harvesting some of the last vegetables from the garden and photographing them.

Speaking of photography: This coming Saturday I will be giving a short presentation on photographing food at the Blissdom Canada conference. Will you be attending? Please don’t hesitate to say hi if you are.
