served

Morning, noon, night, we are fortunate to have some kind of bounty on our tables. Whether it's a home cooked meal, a late night snack or a glorious night out where the food is graciously prepared and served with a smile, there's something about food that not only satisfies hunger (or thirst!) but also serves as instant subject matter for the next quick pic.

I have never before captured so many table shots as I do now that I have taken up mobile phone photography. It's as if I just can't help myself. And why should I? Creative bursts come in the most unlikely places...like at the dinner table.

Snap a shot from your table today. Show us what's being served or what you're serving up. Make our mouths water.

isn't it fun to capture everything around you with your iPhone? my addiction started when i took part in Ali Edwards' week in the life project last year. i haven't stopped shooting ever since.... and everything on my table is my favorite subject!
i've composed this collage especially for you tracey, using my hipstamatic with the james m lens and the claunch 72 monochrome film

I totally do the same - my partner is getting used to waiting for his dinner while I snap some photos :-)

One favourite subject of mine is muffins - like today's bounty, straight out of the oven:

Really, can we call our i-phone pictures a type of art? Cool! Here are some shots I took of my baking bash.

I am addicted to photographing as I bake. Too much fun! And it is a way to savor the creative process.

There is always lashings of tea on the go in our house.

http://gfrogstudio.blogspot.com/2011/03/tea-fujicolor-c200.html

I stopped drinking milk when I was ill early last year so would drink my tea with no milk. when I got better and tried re adding milk I hated it so now its black tea only, to the disgust of my parents :-)

PS
This makes more sense if you know in Ireland we add a dash of milk into tea like the English.

Take care of one another
