Not a food photographer? Don’t shoot your own food photos.

Bad food photo

Did you really think this looked appetizing?

I received a spam email today from a caterer in Hollywood (that will remain nameless) and it prompted me to offer this advice to caterers and restaurants all over the world: If you’re not a professional food photographer, do not shoot your own photos of your food. What might have quickly gotten my stomach growling with hunger now has it slightly churning with disgust.

And while I’m offering advice, a couple tips on spam:

  1. don’t add me to your spam list without my permission.
  2. if you do add me without my permission, please don’t include me and all the people on your list in the To: field.
  3. edit your photos to be a reasonable size before attaching them to your spam.
  4. don’t attach photos to your spam.

Mmmmm. Is it the food or the Craftsman cottage that’s being sold here?

House music on the decline? Here’s why…

Tiesto, Van Dyk, Corsten and Oakenfold

Poor John Digweed barely makes the top ten list, with Tiesto, Van Dyk, Corsten and Oakenfold clogging up the works.
