It feels sort of odd not to have blogged in almost a month, given that I've been as engaged with events and online media during that time as I can remember ever being. I don't know if I haven't posted because I've been too busy watching calamity unfold or if I just didn't feel like I had anything to contribute to an overwhelming amount of opinion out there already. Anyway, I'm back now, and while I'm not going to say anything about the financial crisis or the presidential campaign right now, I probably will soon.
For now, here are a couple of great links gleaned from Ezra Klein's excellent link blog -- which unfortunately doesn't have an RSS feed (that I can find, anyway). The first is a great post on amateur food photography aimed at the food blogger with a DSLR. It's very much built around the particular style of the author, which means it's a little short on atmospherics, doesn't cover shooting in restaurants or low light generally, and steers you away from ever using a flash. Still, it's full of good ideas.
The second is a recipe for blueberry pancakes full of helpful pancake-making hints and some more great food photography -- this time process shots. I guess I'm already feeling nostalgic for blueberry season.
