I often get asked by friends how I can make a glass of lemon mint smoothie photogenic as if it belonged on a menu card, while when it’s their turn to take a picture of their own smoothie they feel it looks lacklustre. With a few tweaks and giving an extra 2-3 seconds of letting…
A hallmark of any country asides from a memorable landscape or urban landmark is the food. How hard is it to travel to someplace you’ve been and not mention the food? The local delights? The hidden local mom & pop shop you can only find after you have actually visited a place because it certainly…
