It hit me when I started taking pictures of food. The one thing that used to, just mere months ago, annoy me to no-end. I would be so embarrassed when Moma would break out her camera in the middle of a meal, in the middle of a restaurant, just to get a picture of her plate. It was beyond me why anyone would want to take a picture of their food, much less post it for others to view. That is, until I became a member of Flickr and joined the Food Porn pool. It's so exciting to post your own picture and just see that others are looking at your work. Even if no one is commenting, it's nice to know others appreciate your work.
My first picture of food I took at the San Diego County Fair this past summer, a close-up look at the deep fried avocado. But the photo that made me realize I was becoming Moma I took at Baja Miguel's in Las Vegas - in the middle of a meal, in the middle of the restaurant. And I wasn't embarrassed. Not even a little bit. All I cared about was getting the perfect picture, a mouth-watering shot of the so-very-yummy chicken chimichanga.
And now I am participating in a blogging challenge? Seriously. What next?!
I give it a year before I am wanting a kitty. (But good gravy, I hope I'm wrong!)
