     We thank you all for participating in the "What are you eating?" photo contest.  There were so many great pictures that we had quite a time trying to narrow it down to just one.  So thank you again for all of your entries!  But in the end we picked Drumroll please...this photo by Yumi.  I loved how it made me just want to pull the toast with figs right out of the picture!

    So congrats to Yumi! Look for your package of new earrings in the mail.

Until next time...

Happy Friday!

     This past weekend I was able to spend it with Jean-Marie and her sister Tiffany (and all of the little people). We had such a great time! Tiffany made some really great raw food that totally inspired Jean & me. I think I was sold too since it looked like Tiffany had grown about a foot since the last time I saw her. She looks amazing, along with Jean-Marie. I kept thinking, “This is my friend who has cancer? She looks amazing!” So when they both mentioned that it was her diet, my ears were perked and at attention!!!


     So this is what she prepared for us and it was nothing short of deliciousness!!!

Another Fotag Contest: What's on your plate?

Hey there fellow camera lovers...

We want to post the details for our photo contest for this week. We got so carried away on Friday that we didn't get a chance to post the details,  but we are sure you all have been sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for this much anticipated update!

Subject this week is: What's on your plate? or what do you wish you were eating?

It seems like lately as you search blog's, or if you are on Instagram people just can't help but share there favorite foods with the world. And there seems to be a growing popularity with food styling which is something that we totally love!! 

So we thought why not take a picture of that artfully contrived cappacinno and enter to win some cool jewelry at the same time?  So we want to see what's on your plate... Submit as many pics as you want by using the hash tag #btanjerinefood (and that's BtanJerine with a J),

or if you are so inclined you can email us your photo at: btanJerine@gmail.com  We know that there is the rare instance that Instagram is down so there is an alternate option, and also so that those who (perish the thought) are not on Instagram can participate.  This contest is open to all and everyone.  

 This prize is valued at $38.00

Contest ends Friday August 17, 2012 at 5 pm pacific time, and the winner will be anounced August 20, 2012 at 8am.

Happy Snapping Foodie Fotags!

iphone Photogs & Photo Contest

Who says you need teeth to eat meat? Naomi, 7 months

We heart photography!  And for a long period in my teen’s and twenties I wanted to pursue photography with secret desires of becoming a National Geographic photographer traveling to the rain forests, and the Serengeti, in search of exotic mammals, and beautiful tribeswomen.  

That was the dream!  The reality is that we still love photography but with a family there is little time, or enough arms to carry diaper bags, car seats, and then... a camera bag.  So we decided to become iphone photogs.  

Here are some highlights from our iphones from the last week.  

Jean-Marie just inherited a "real" camera, you know the ones that used to take film? Yea real old school, I know! I’d like to get a “real” camera again... one day... but until then my iphone will have to do.

Fresh produce from the Co-op.  Rio Goza farm Ojai, CA

We want to see what pictures you take with your phone.  Email us here at:btanjerine@gmail.com with a picture that you are proud of, and a title, and you could win a pair of BtanJerine earrings. Meet "Copper Coral" valued at $62. Ohhhh Ahhhh!!! Oh and did I mention that your picture will be featured here? 

Contest ends Friday July 20th, 2012 at 5pm (Pacific Time).  A winner will be picked and announced Monday July 23rd, 2012 at 8:00am (Pacific Time). 

HAPPY SNAPPING!!!
