About “Sabine…Shot the Food”:
“…shot the food” is a blog focused on food photography. You may, however, see posts referring to non-edibles now and then.

Who’s Sabine?
I’m a 29-year old librarian-in-training who loves to cook, eat, and take pictures. Thanks to being a Navy brat growing up, it feels like I’ve been almost everywhere! I currently reside in Takoma Park, MD, just outside of Washington, DC.
No, Sabine isn’t my real name. It was the name I was called in high school German classes (and used again in German classes I took while on foreign study). The name stuck.
Why the title?
…because I’m an unrepentant nerd. 
The “shot the food” reference is a shoutout to the “Gauntlet” series of games, and references to Elphs are a play on words (both to a Canon point-and-shoot I don’t own and a class of character playable (elf) in Gauntlet).
What equipment do you use?
Generally, just my Canon Powershot A570IS (with liberal use of the macro settings). I’ll sometimes use GIMP, Picasa, or Picnik to touch things up a little.
Can I see some of your other photos?
Sure! They can be found here .
Can I use your photos?
All of my photos are Creative Commons licensed: generally BY-NC (attribution, noncommercial), but I’ve allowed occasional commercial use on a case-by-case basis. Please contact me, either way… I’d love to know how my pictures are being used…

My name is Jessica Shelton and I work on casting for the eco-friendly cooking series Emeril Green. Currently we are seeking new ways to reach out to people who may be perfect guests for our show. In case you are unfamiliar with our series the basic premise is that the average home cook gets a cooking dilemma solved for them by Chef Emeril Lagasse with a green spin (for instance – how do I cook mushrooms? or what do I do with all my fresh herbs?). As I looking for new ways to spread the word I came across your blog and thought that appearing on Emeril Green might be something that your readers (and possibly you) might be interested in. If this does sound like something you’d like to know more about please email me and I can give you more details. If not, sorry to have bothered you,
Thanks,
Jessica
