It’s no secret that I have a fond love for good food and good drink. If you’ve been following me on Facebook or Twitter, many of my daily iPhone shots are about food.

I’ve been having fun working on this little secret project for you guys and it’s almost live!

Many of you have emailed me asking if Yanik’s Photo School would ever be available as an app and, even though the blog is mobile friendly on the iPhone, it’s not the same as having a native app. Sooooo… As of today, I submitted my app to both Android and Apple stores and I’ll release both at the same time and have a big party!
