Web 2.0 for Foodies
For some reason, call me strange, I LOVE to photograph food. When a beautifully styled plate is set before me, whether appropriate or not, I almost have to capture a few shots before I can even think of taking my first bite. I’ve even passed my camera around so that everyone at my table could photograph their meal. (Yes, they may have laughed at the time, but I think they secretly enjoyed it.)
Call it odd, call it weird and yes it might be, but now I have a way to remember all of my most memorable meals.
Like the first time I had Fish & Chips in London…
…the first time I made/tried Goat Cheese…
… and the first time I tried sushi.
So imagine my joy when I found out that OTHER people actually do this too! (Over 10,000! See I’m not crazy!) Check out this group called I Ate This in Flickr. (FYI - Flickr is an online photo album where you can upload, share and comment on photos with friends, family or complete strangers.) With photos ranging from the beautiful to the bizarre and just about everything in between, you are sure to find something interesting.
Check back often - new photos are added after every breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack…
Other interesting food related Flickr groups you can check out:

- Creative Tabletop Photography - Current challenge, in case you’re curious, is to take a picture of a potato!
- Recipes to Share - A bunch of recipes with photos.
- Starbucks - Photos from inside the store, shots of the various drinks (no pun intended) and of course a bunch of crazy looking people on caffeine highs.
