WONDERFUL FOOD

All those who know my blog might have understood that I am always in awe in front of my food and that I have to capture it's soul and beauty whenever I can (all the time, in fact)!

I really enjoy photographing my food, in it's natural form, before it gets prepared and transformed as it always results in marvellous raw images that perfectly translate the spirit of each item...

A big (1.2 kilos) and extremely tender "slab" of ostrich meat (fillet) from Namibia.
Bright yellow bananas...
Black sticky rice (pulut hitam) from Indonesia (see infos)...

And what about you, do you also love the way food looks before it has been washed, cut and cooked?
