GodDaughter2 works in a famed ice cream emporium. (They call it “gelato”.) When I met up with her there recently, I photoed a customer photoing her ice cream. For some reason she wanted an autumnal background, which was supplied by an autumnal plant, in a pot, right next to where the rest of us were … Continue reading Food photoing
This from the American Spectator seems to me to be saying something rather true: It is easy to be cynical. We might dismiss these photos as brazen self-promotion or a symptom of millennial self-absorption. Headlines like “Instagram Food Is a Sad, Sparkly Lie” and “Instagramming Millennials Are Burying the World in Food Waste” capture the … Continue reading Food photos as prayers of gratitude
I am ill. Not very ill. Just: ill. A symptom of which is not eating solid food. So here, to compensate me for not eating food, is a photo of some food which I ate in France in 2008: I like squares and rectangles. Always have. So, I especially like the idea of eating something … Continue reading Food photo
Here’s a photo photoed years ago during one of my Last Friday of the Month meetings, at my home. It took me quite a while, as in many years, to get that photo. What I wanted was what my meetings were like, but with no faces visible. Convivial, but with no conviviality being facially expressed. … Continue reading Learning how to photo my Last Friday of the Month meetings
Along the South Bank late yesterday afternoon. I photoed, among other things, food and drink emporia, mostly of the motorised or at least transportable sort: My favourite by some distance is the one selling CLIMATE POSITIVE BURGERS. Capitalism, eh? It gives you whatever you want.
I can still remember the Great Leap Forward that the Panasonic Lumix FZ150 “bridge” camera was. For me if not for all of photoer-kind. For me, the best “bridge camera” I could have was my perfect camera. Tons of zoom, but no faffing about with different lenses to at once capture whatever scene presented itself … Continue reading First photos with the FZ150
Contrary to English myth, and myth elsewhere for all I know, it doesn’t actually rain that much in England, and when it does, it doesn’t usually rain that heavily. The reason we fret about rain so much is that there is just enough for it to be a nuisance, and not enough for us to … Continue reading I’m photoing in the rain
All the photos below were taken some time during 2003. I don’t know the exact date, because either my then camera couldn’t remember such things, or I didn’t tell it to remember this particular thing. Probably the latter. (Yes, the latter. Other photos taken later with the same camera do have dates attached.) Photoers, of … Continue reading Photoers in 2003
On the left, fast food, and on the right slower food: The Speed Burger bikes on the left were photoed by me in Quimper, Brittany, in April 2018. The taxi advertising Just Eat food was photoed by me earlier this evening, as I walked home from a meeting. I photoed this taxi with the permission … Continue reading Fast food – slow food
The summer of February 2019 has now ended, but I still have some photo-memories of it to stick up here. These photos, for instance, of a man whom GodDaughter2 and I encountered in Hyde Park, back on February 15th. As I have already related, there was a lot of feeding of birds going on that … Continue reading Man with food
