Cafe Fernando turns one

It seems like yesterday… I was reading my friend’s blog… I clicked on a link and it brought me to another food blog. What I saw was out of this world. Then I discovered others. Once I started reading through these wonderfully crafted journals of food, there was no turning back.

It was a world I never knew existed. I knew nothing about CSS, photography, blogging or anything related. I read, researched, got a camera and read further… I wrote, shared and in turn heard back. I even baked professionally and sold my tarts, muffins and cookies at Harvey Nichols Istanbul. You did not leave me alone there, either. Quite a few Turkish readers visited the cafe and emptied the shelves.

So I would like to thank those who inspired me with their wonderful photos and writing and to those who supported me by leaving encouraging feedback and providing links to my blog showing their appreciation.

As always, Ralph was way too cooperative in posing for this amateur photographer.

Ralph is the best model a photographer can have. He doesn’t move even if the camera is touching his nose.
