As you may recall, one of the items on my 101 in 1001 list revolved around my ever-improving food photography. Specifically, I said that I wanted to “get 5 photos accepted by Tastespotting or Foodgawker.”
Well…surprise! I’ve gotten at least 5 accepted on each of the two sites:

Foodgawker, clockwise from top left: Smoky Curried Popcorn, Blueberry Pie Bars, Falafel Burgers, Clementine Pound Cake and Meyer Lemon Spice Bread.

Tastespotting, left to right and starting at the top: Spinach Tomato Pasta, Cinnamon Sugar Soft Pretzels, Chai-Infused Marshmallows, Smoky Curried Popcorn, Raspberry Mules, Clementine Pound Cake, Pea Andouille Risotto, Cookie Dough Pancakes, Meyer Lemon Spice Bread, Summer Soba Salad, Spring Fried Rice, Falafel Burgers (accepted but not in the collage)
What goals have you achieved lately?

Awesome, those are all so calming. Kind of funny to say that about food, but I mean it in the best way. Great work, Julie!
I know what you meant. Thank you!
Wow! Congrats Jules!
Hmmm recent goals. Finally committed to becoming a published author, now I just have to convince an agent
Also started blogging… that’s a cool goal. Thanks for the inspiration!

Mine, too!
Congrats! My recent photography goal was to get one accepted on tastespotting. I’ve had a bunch accepted by foodgawker but couldn’t break through on TS. Finally did last week! I love your marshmallow picture!

That’s funny, I have the opposite challenge. Tastespotting tends to like my photos a lot more than Foodgawker does!
Congratulations! I’ve just started getting on to foodgawker/tastespotting, too. it’s maddening but so rewarding, and it pushes me to do better all the time.
Exactly!
Julie! Congrats on reaching (and exceeding!) your goal!!

Thank you so much!
Congrats Julie! Isn’t it such a rewarding feeling of validation when your photos get accepted??!! It’s such a good way to become a better photographer too!
Congrats!! My photography skills are lacking…and that’s being nice. haha. I’ve been working away at my 101 in 1001 list. This summer I competed in my first Tri, went to Wine Country, bought a Garmin Forerunner, and in a couple of weekends I will be running the Chicago Rock n Roll half!! I think I’m about 10% of the way through my list.
