- Thanks! Yes, i live about 10 min from Elizabethtown..in a small town. The settings here are perfection this time of year. I am shooting a 5 year old in a iron bed out in a field of flowers tomorrow so i just asked the people who owned the farm NOT to cut the grass until Thursday. Im serious. I just stop and shoot anywhere...When the time for the cookbook comes I may need some tips from you. I am going to take a workshop at WKU ( Western Ky. Univ. Bowling Green ) in a few weeks on food photography...ill send you the info. Thanks again for your compliments. I love people and i especially love photographing the little ones. :)

( I am actually 45 miles south of Louisville. ) So do you photograph food as well? I have no experience photographing food and he is wanting to publish a cook book sometime late this year.
