About “Hapa…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 behind the blog?
I’m a thirty-something librarian 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.
Why the title?
…because I’m an unrepentant nerd. 
The “shot the food” reference is a shoutout to the “Gauntlet” series of games, and the subtitle is a nod to of a song title from the musical “Avenue Q“.
What equipment do you use?
Generally, just my Canon Powershot A3100IS. I’ll sometimes use GIMP, Picasa, or Picnik to touch things up a little. Older shots were taken with a Powershot A570IS or a Powershot A520 (with liberal use of the macro settings).
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 (I’m at plsouthard at gmail), either way… I’d love to know how my pictures are being used…
What about your blog?
Under the same CC licensing terms as the photos. When in doubt, contact me!
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
