flawless FRUIT

I’m taking less food pics in restaurants these days. I’ve been shamed into stopping. How ’bout you? Now when I am served a beautiful dish, I have to weigh whether it is worth the condescending looks of disdain from servers and other patrons. Sigh. The only advantage is that taking pictures at home allows me to use a really camera, not my phone, and get the cherries arranged just so. Plus, now I can re-heat dinner after I get the perfect shot, ha. This next Call is interested in your perfect shots. Take a look…
