Food & Wine has selected the winners of their food photography contest, and they are gorgeous! I’m humbled to note that my entry was selected as one of 25 honorable mentions, and is part of the photo gallery on Food and Wine’s site. For someone with basically zero training in photography and who is pretty much learning on the (blogging) job, this is certainly a thrill!
Be sure to check out all the photos – they are all lovely and very inspiring – I’m off to keep improving my photography!
Anita Chu, also known as pastrygirl, is a baker, writer, and photographer with a passion for pastry.

Congratulations! I saw the other entries and you deserve to be high up there.
I’m so not surprised. I love this photo – it’s incredible!
Congrats to you!
Congratulations, Anita! Your photography is very good! Keep up the good work!
Congratulations! Love the colours, Anita!
Way to go! (If you have contacts at F&W, you might tell them the photoviewer seems to be acting up, I can only see the first photo, no matter what …)
Your photography is always beautiful, so this is a well-deserved honor. Congratulations!
Go you, that is awesome! Excellent photo.
