DMBLGIT April 2012 – The Winners

Photography is an art form. A photographer forms an intimate relationship with their camera and the objects that they are photographing. Time, patience and a sharp eye can transform a subject into something extraordinary. The photographers who participated in this month’s event are clearly artists who have excelled at their craft. There were 36 submissions. Each one tells a story about the photographer and the subject. I am so honored to have hosted this event. It gave me the opportunity to check out new-to-me photographers who I will eagerly follow in the future. Many thanks to Soma, Sneh, Kulsum and Barb for serving as our judges. They definitely had a tough and important job.

If you are not familiar with Does My Blog Look Good In This see my announcement post. You can check out all the submissions here and find out about our judges here.

Without further ado, I am pleased to announce the winners.

Overall Winners:

1st Place: Yelena from Cooking Melangery: Orange Sweet Potato Baked Chips with Thyme

Chocolate Angel Food Cake with Biscoff Frosting (Gluten-Free)

I must admit I have never stared so hard at egg whites in motion as I did when I was making this recipe. This month I decided to participate in #Baketogether, which is a monthly baking event hosted by Abby Dodge. Participants are tasked with making a recipe created by Abby. This month’s assignment was Angel Food Cake.

Chicken, Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomato “Flatbread” (Gluten-Free)

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the bread I made isn’t necessarily flat. I was starving when I embarked on my first attempt to make this recipe. I didn’t make much of an effort to flatten it. I just wanted to throw it in the oven as quick as possible. It’s dangerous to cook when you are hungry. Things don’t exactly turn out as planned.
