Ironically my Mom, who doesn't use Instagram, twitter, facebook or anything, always takes pictures of food. For christmas, her boyfriend got her a game of memory printed, using all those photos for the cards.
It's nice that she laughed along. I take pics of my food, but I don't post them anywhere. I just like to see my preciouses when I don't have any internet and am bored.
People who post updates of their lives twice a day are vapid souls. Please post a picture of you picking up trash or volunteering at a soup kitchen. Oh, wait! You can't because then you look like an attention whore. A spaghetti-eating attention whore.
Only two types of people get to photograph food.
Professional or pro at home chefs, for reference.
Food critics, for the article.
