My toys:

Canon Digital Rebel XTi
Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
Canon EF 50mm f/1.4
Panasonic Lumix GF1 with Panasonic Lumix 20mm f/1.7
(Sometimes I also use my hubby's Olympus E-500 with the 12-60 mm lens, and Olympus PEN E-P1)

I always receive lots of questions about my food photos so I will tell a bit about myself.
I'm not a professional food photographer nor a food stylist, I never learned to cook (except from my mom) and have never been to any cooking school.
I'm just a foodie and I love to eat, cook and have fun.
Anyway, thanks for visiting my photostream !

Zeetz Jones says:

"I always look forward to aloalosabine's postings. Whenever hers appear in my contacts' photos, she gets prioritized! It's the inviting quality, the composition, the lighting and the caption all put together to make each one image so appealing to the eyes. But as a warning to all, don't come visiting her stream when you're hungry.

Whisper your secret to my ear, Mari!"

I was first drawn to her photostream because of her superb food photography however, that's just the tip of the iceberg, Her photos of Japan and her travels are equally superb and reveal a sensitve and empathetic soul."

"I can't believe I get to be the first one to write a testimonial on flickr for Mari!

I’m glad to have met her on flickr, she is a wonderful, fun & talented photographer. Her comments & wonderful pictures always make my day...not to mention, they make me hungry as well. Mari's eyes have captured Japan, her travels, her fabulous food w/ a unique twist .I am just glad she is my flickr friend, because through her sharing I've learned more about food, Japan and everything else.

I hope to meet her someday preferably in Japan so she can cook for me :D"
