CITY
food
Meet me downtown for a bite? That conjures images of barbeque in Memphis & paella in New Orleans, but where I live it means…pancakes. Yes, pancakes. There must be a dozen pancake houses and a population of only 3500. We have to feed the tourists something. This next Call is not meant for food photography specifically, but it is open to interpretation. Investigate for yourself…
