“Since I work from home, I spend quite a lot of time at my desk. It’s sometimes neat, more often cluttered and messy, and always has a stack of my favorite magazines within reach.”

Rick Poon is a software developer/photographer living in Los Angeles, CA. When he’s not writing code, Rick is out and about or in his kitchen trying to photograph that next beautiful dish. He’s been shooting food as long as he can remember, and chronicles his culinary journeys on his blog,  à la mode.

Kate certainly appreciates attention to detail and you can walk into Rick’s photographs. His recent sojourns to Turkey turned up quite a visual treat. Otherwise, his look into the cafe culture, including food (that pizza looks great about every time I cross it), bridges, city life and motion.  And, when looking at his photographs, life is pretty good.
