"I was at the grocery store buying some Flaming Hot Cheetos and aloe vera juice. There was a girl in front of me at check-out who was buying a box of dried apricot halves, and I think you know where this is going. She couldn’t even wait until the cashier gave her the receipt before she excitedly snapped a shot of her little box of apricots and proceeded to post it on Instagram. Immediately, I thought to myself, ‘Who in their right mind cares that this girl just bought a box of freakin’ dried apricots?’"

I don't know if I'm an instagram snob but as someone who sometimes does food photography and is an enthusiastic food dude, it really doesn't do much for the appearance of the subject. But maybe that's just me. I don't know.

People are excited about silly little things and just want to share that with thier friends. I say, let them have their little happy moments, they're not trying to change the world.

Okay. I mean, I'm not losing sleep over it, but I hate crappy food photography. Sharing with friends is fine, that's cool. I don't think that's a bad thing, but I wouldn't want a cookbook full of instagramed images of food.
