Food Trip in Vancouver (Mount Pleasant): Sweetery Cafe

Image
As part of my goal to network in Vancouver and learn something new, I attended a meetup, "Donuts and Coffee and Pics, oh my!". The meetup is basically on how to be better at taking food photos. I shot hundreds of food photos over the years, and I thought that I could learn more about angles and lighting. Sweetery Cafe offers excellent pastries and coffee. Of all the sweets and bread we've had, my personal fave is the chicken strips and waffles. Amazing! Below are some of the pictures, I took applying what I have learned today.

Stanley Park: Sisters and Event

The Sakura Illumination is a free event organized by Stuart Ward & Ben Z Cooper from Hfour (http://hfour.ca/). The goal is to have an unobstructed view of illuminated sakura ideal for photography and picnicking in the spring evening under the cherry blossoms. Therese and I arrived there at 5:00 PM and ate the sandwiches she prepared as we settled in the blanket she has. It was our first time to a picnic, so it was a fun sister bonding.
