A 2011 years retrospective of a different sort.
In January 2011 I started taking pictures of food and drinks regularly. Well, actually that did not mean me literally taking a photo of every glass of water I have been drinking since then. In fact I tried to capture food and drinks I consumed on occasions that meant to be somehow special for me and others. I uploaded all those pics using the picplz app, which at that time was the best solution – owning an android device only but wanting to use all the amazing filters like the oh so present iPhone Instagramers do all the time.
During the year I changed my mobile devices from the HTC Legend to first an iPhone 3G and then to an iPhone 4S.
The idea of taking food pictures started to amuse and actually inspire me more and more. I thought it was amazing capturing not only the very special moment, the location and the person you’re with – but also in a way the taste of it.
When telling people about my new little project, everyone got really excited about it – so I thought, why not just go ahead, at least for a year. Now after one year has passed I actually feel that this food retrospective album thing really became beautiful. It really tells the story of my life, gives room for interpretation but can also stand there for itself – plain and simple – pretty straight-forward.
Me myself, I always get somehow emotional when browsing through those pictures – of course in a positive way.
End of 2011 marks also the end of my picplz food & drinks album – but will be the beginning of something completely fresh and new – you can bet your life on that.
So… less writing – why not check out my gallery over on Facebook for yourself => “2011 – A year in food & drinks” and spend me a “Like” here and there.
BTW: all the food that is presented in the gallery is vegetarian as I am not into eating meat or stuff like that at all.
You find a short overview of the 285 pictures below. Amazing, isn’t it?
