Healthy Appetite
There is something about salads that automatically makes you think of “good health”. Is it because we were taught that vegetables are healthy? I reckon it is. It’s quite ironic, however, when some people associate eating salads to weight loss diets; often perceived negatively, at that.
Food is something I’m not overly attached to but am challenged to photograph. Taking photos of food is not as easy as it looks.
Salads are great practice esp since they offer colours and textures that I’m so interested to capture. I’m working on capturing its essense of being a symbol of a healthy eating habit. I want others to see its freshness; look at it and be able to almost taste it. Do I make sense?
Who knows? Maybe one day, I’d grow a good collection of food photos to show as proof that I’ve also gained a healthy appetite.
Trivia: Photo taken of a salad from Délifrance; February 2008. Also seen here.

I love taking food photos too. And colorful food’s the best. Since I’ve been taking pictures of food, I’ve been asking to be seated near the window for the light. Of course, my friends think I’m crazy when I tell them to hold their appetites and let me take photos first.
