I’m currently in Emeryville, California with my friend Matt Kim. He is an amazing photographer and about a month ago he was in Korea and he took pictures of the rice cake fair along with Robyn Lee of Serious Eats. Matt is a foodie, so he has taken me out to get some great California eats. He was also kind enough to give me a place to stay for a couple of days in California.

Today we went to 900 Grayson for Chicken and Waffles. During the course of the meal, he gave me some pointers on how to take better photos. I’ll post these photos very soon.
I’ve been looking through the photos that he took for the rice cake fair and I must tell you that they are breathtaking. I wanted to share some of them with you.
If you want to see all the photos, you can find them here.

Seoul Fall

Seoul Fall I was going through my photo library and came across this picture. I really like the contrast of the crooked trees in front of the bright fall leaves.

Food Shots: Monsters under the Sea

On a walk around Gangnam, we saw these interesting fish in the tanks. The owner told me what it was but I forget. They are majestic looking. Does anyone know what they are? Have they eaten them?
