There are some days when you start clearing up your folders and stop working to take a look at the pics you have collected over the years. Pics you thought did not fit into your posts, or you shot just for practice. Some pics never got scheduled, while some others went into folders you could not retrieve later. Today was one such day. Every image has a story to tell and for the same reason, I find it hard to delete pics. And I have hence, decided to dedicate a section to these images from the kitchen. I came across a comment on FB by a blogger who said she did not care much for images and went straight to the recipe. That’s when it struck me, that I spend a lot of time admiring and studying the images online as much as the recipe. Until recently, I thought food photography was a gimmick and yet I continued to click on and on. Over the past few months, I have developed a liking for this process. If you are a blogger, and you have shots like these unused in your folders, pick them and up and start archiving them. They will motivate you, help you evaluate your journey as a blogger and you might love to take a trip down the memory lane through these images once in a while. So check out these still life shots from my kitchen and there’s more coming….
