I really, really love "Food Porn". Give me my iPad and a dozen food blogs with amazing close-up photos of delicious dishes and I'm a very happy boy. Don't even get me started on multi-step recipes illustrated with multiple photos! When I can see parts of the cook's kitchen, well-worn tools, or the family dog sneaking into the shot, I get a voyeuristic thrill that verges on unhealthy. Not really. However, there's no shame in looking and no one believes you spend all that time just reading the articles.
I've decided to develop my food pornographer photo skills by snapping shots of my lunch from time to time. Today's grab-and-go offering was a fantastic lamb gyro with cucumber sauce and fries from Acropolis Gyro in Columbus, Ohio. I present to you:
Don't be too harsh a critic. This is my first foray into making greasy grab-and-go look like anything other than greasy grab-and-go. I think I could have finessed the angle a little lower to deemphasize the fries and make them look a little more architectural. Likewise, I should have removed some of the overpowering lettuce and more carefully folded back the gyro wrapper. And I know my phone's camera is pretty crap-tastic.
But hey, I'm putting my work out there, man. You think Heff knew how to
