Me and my camera in my home town, my capital city, my london
As the old saying goes, give a person a fish and they will eat for a day, give that person a fancy pineapple filled with smoothie juice and a mini umbrella and they will shoot the shit out of it for their social media.
Are we at the stage when sharing what we consume is more important than actually consuming it? Are edible items being chosen not for their taste but for their aesthetic appeal? Is getting ‘likes’ now more valuable than eating? Will people’s food buying decisions now be dictated by how good it appears on camera?
The answer from me to all of the above questions is “I don’t know, maybe but I’m starting to think so….”
More slices of summer this week. When the weather is this good it is difficult to think about anything else. And that’s a good thing. Forget the dismal political doom n gloom. Forget about major sporting tournaments. Forget about the crapola that is your life. Just bask in the sun and all your troubles will go away. People seem happy. Relaxed. Without a care in the world. The shots from the last few weeks have all been mostly from west london, around Portobello Rd and on Golborne Rd and wanted to show the good summer vibes here at the moment as it feels like the area is starting to get its mojo back. And I am pleased about that…
