Yes, I Photograph My Food

04/15/15 | assorted

No, I don’t do it everyday but there are some dishes that are just begging to be photographed. Whether it for is one of the recipes on my blog, a phenomenal restaurant dish, or something that I made at home that I am proud of, some food just needs to be shared with the world. And if it is particularly beautiful I might even use a flash in a dim restaurant. Yes, I am that person.  #sorryimnotsorry

Last week one of my friends sent me this gif – as a joke? I am not sure. She told me she found it on the front page of Reditt and while I do not regularly visit the site I am sure some of you do and thus have seen it.

Photograph of Food

Does this describe any of you?  Yes, I photograph my food.  Not every day, but when my food is looking particularly appetizing I will take a snap and probably about a third of those make it onto my Instagram.  Here are some examples:

    it’s totally a blogger thing. whenever people get sassy with me, I always say “hey, this could make me internet famous + then you’ll want to come along with me when I’m getting all sorts of free food won’t you!”

    Um yes! Especially if we’re trying a new place or new dish, it’s like I have to do it, for the blog! If I don’t I always regret not getting that pic, haha! 🙂
