Holidays bring people together.  In a world that frequently tends to be manic, holidays, unfortunately, may be some of the few times families and friends eat together.  Therefore, they become big celebrations accompanied by tables covered with wonderful food.  The past week held a series of those celebrations, both secular and religious, around the world. 

Grab a snack and a beverage.  This blog is image heavy!  With food and food photography on the brain, I am asking for your assistance (and I may do this several times in future blogs) in helping me choose images for my new greeting card series.  My food series is called "Tasty and Artful" and will contain 10-15 images.  And I may do subsequent volumes, but it would be great before I venture forth, to get your input.  This means that I have already done some self-editing, which as all photographers know can be both a plus or a minus.  So I am asking your indulgence in telling me which images you think are the strongest, the ones that you like the best, and ones you would like to send to someone.  If you don't like any of them, that input is also helpful.
