Can we talk about food porn?  I think no one will be shocked to hear that I post pictures of my food to social media.  Yes, I am one of those people.  But what I want to know is why most people highly filter their pics.  You don’t OWE it to the restaurant to make their food look better than it is.  So, are you taking pictures of your food to document a beautiful meal or fun experience?  OR, are you just trying to “one up” your friends?  Maybe food pics should just be representational of what your really see before you–kind of like this next call…

Check out this Call for Entries for the 23rd Annual National Exhibition  from Oil Painters of America to be exhibited at the the Bennington Center for the Arts. The cost is high because you have to be a member, but the show is prestigious and the prizes are huge. Make me proud…
