Diane & Todd, I saw this as I breezed through a few of the FBC posts. My immediate thought was, “I’m never going to get these shots.” The photos jumped off the page. Really incredible stuff. All your time spent certainly shows. The video was fun, especially without lots of people crowded around the screen. I can tell I have a lot of studying to do after your workshop. I’ll be visiting your website for pointers. I’ve got to get cracking on rearranging my trip to Vietnam and will be looking closely at Danang. Thanks for all the tips and it was great fun chatting in Ixtapa. Hope we’ll all be meeting in Thailand next year. If so, stop in Japan and I guarantee some great food. Nancy

I love this photography advice. This is my biggest challenge. Trying to figure out if my current Sony is capable of producing sharper inmages, or if in fact I have to bite the bullet and upgrade. These tips will help. Hope to attend the next camp.

I need advice on every aspect of food blogging as mine is so new, the idea of a blogging workshop is so appealing! Thanks for sharing all this great info…although I would much rather learn it first hand in a sunny location:) ha!

Food stylists have a tough job and have to produce the look that the client is paying for. Adam mentioned how he loves it when the client wants the real deal. It is fascinating to see Adam work his craft, plus the man can cook, so even his “real food” styling is beautiful.

Thank you, but you can never learn enough. Nobody is so good that they can stop learning from others.

Many many thanks for this. Even after five years of blogging about food, I still find that there are still many areas of improvement I could look into. What you’ve written, is what I needed to read. I just got my domain up, after using blogspot all this while. I am bent on building up my new blogspace slowly but surely. Everything from my food photography (saving up to buy a DSLR like finally!) to my writing – going to bring it up several notches. I’m a huge fan of Ruhlman and it is great reading the tips that he shared. Very useful. Can I say once again how brilliant this camp that you guys are on, is? It’s also my first time to your blog, and I like it. It’s been bookmarked. Keep up the good work.

Cheers from sunny Singapore.
