I am excited to announce that I am now a contributor for Brit + Co! In case you’re not familiar with the site, it features DIY projects, recipes, tech finds, trends, and other topics that help busy people indulge their creative side.

I was already a big fan of the site. And finding ways to make the most of life despite a crazy schedule is a part of what Travelcraft Journal is about. This is a great fit, and I’m honored to be a part of the “Co” of Brit + Co!

My first post is “5 Apps That Make Your Food Photos Look Even Better“. For those of you who like to take pictures of delicious food you make or come across on your travels, check it out!

Of course, I’ll continue posting here at Travelcraft Journal (more on my travelcrafty plans for this year soon), in addition to doing original roundups and reviews for Brit + Co, so keep an eye out for those over there!

To me, travel photography is about really seeing a place – its essence, its quirks, unexpected juxtapositions, the telling detail or perspective, its cast of characters going about their lives. Often, we have to travel somewhere new before we even notice these things or think to capture them.

Here are 3 Instagram photographers, who – whether they’re home or away – catch those views, those moments, that others just let slip by. They inspire me to take better travel photos and to keep my eyes open, even in my home town.

P.S. Since we’re on the topic and maybe you’re wondering where the sidebar pics from my Instagram went, something went wrong with the plugin I was using for that, and it (briefly) shut down my site. So I got rid of it, and I’m a little hesitant to install another one.
