I've been invited to speak on the photography panel at Eat Drink Blog, Australia's first ever food blogger's conference, to be held in Melbourne on 21 March. In honor of this, I've made my first ever powerpoint presentation. Luckily the conference is 3 weeks away, so I've got some time to improve on it!

As part of the conference there is a photography compeition, and all Australian bloggers are invited to enter. All you have to do is upload a photo that you have the copyright for, and have blogged about sometime in 2009/10. It's that easy. You can find more information about this via Tomatom, or go straight to the Flickr page. There is already some great shots up, I'm very impressed (and feeling a little inadequate)! It's also sponsored by SBS Food, so thank's SBS, you're all kinds of awesome.

And this blog has received an award, courtesy of The Raw Noodle (aka Ranita). I'm not quite sure what this means. But I'm a pretty over the top person in general - so I graciously accept. Thanks to the Raw Noodle for thinking of me.

Here is my award:
