If you like to take pictures of your food as well as, eventually, eat it, and if you'd like to make sure that your photos look as good as the food does, or did, you might want to check out this food photography workshop, Phototasting, held Saturday, February 7th, from 12:30 – 3 p.m. at the downtown restaurant Checkers. Daily Gluttony, as well as other local food bloggers, will guide participants through the workshop using Checkers chef Todd Allison's new winter menu as subject material. The $45 workshop, which is designed for restaurant food photography, will offer tips for both point-and-shoot and DSLR cameras. If you're going to let your food get cold while you pretend you're Diane Arbus, might as well do it right.
