I was hoping that a photographer with your skill could make me finally
appreciate foodies.  Well done, but nope. :)
I sure don't think of myself as a foodie. I do like good food, but not all
the pretension of exotic ingredients, tiny
portions, plates more about artistic presentation than the actual food . .
.

GAH, I think I've insulted you.  I'm so sorry.

You'd have to try a lot harder to manage that. 😛

"Foodies" refers to the photos, not the photographer.

Misuse of a term with a widely accepted meaning is bound to cause confusion. You are free to do it, but may reap the whirlwind. 😉

I don't enjoy photos of food, that's all I meant.

Fair enough.

My son is an erstwhile chef, so I have some appreciation for plating and so
forth.  Taking a photo before eating, like some prayer ritual -- well, it's
amusing, I guess, and some people really seem to enjoy it, and I enjoy
people enjoying themselves.  No judgment expressed or implied.

I don't do it very often, whether I'm too busy cooking, or whatever. I just liked the look of the ingredients in the dish as composition and colors. Then I liked the changes after cooking. The third shot is sort of an obligatory follow-up. My heart wasn't in it.
