The first photos…
The first time I started taking photographs of food was probably when I was in Taiwan for my holidays more than a year ago. It was also my first time discovering the power of digital cameras. And so off I went snapping happily at everything I saw. Many photos, I had to admit, turned out pretty disastrously. To further prove my amateurish skills with the camera, I took the photos at such low resolution that I cannot develop some of the really nice ones when I came back to Singapore.
I definitely think my photography skills have improved since then. Well…perhaps, since every time I looked at those photos that I’d taken on my computer, the number of shaky ones always proves to be more than those that turned out nicely. =\
This sudden inspiration to “exhibit” the first photos of food that I had taken came when I randomly came across this blog on travelling in Taiwan. This lovely blog reminded me so much about my holiday back in Taiwan! How I wish I’m back in Taiwan again this hols.
The food that left the deepest memory in me was 臭豆腐. I ate my first 臭豆腐 the first day I touched down at Taipei. Funnily, I never felt that they were smelly when I was eating them. (My mum was actually standing one foot away from me when I was eating them.) In fact, I quite like eating 臭豆腐. However, few days later, when I was at some of their famous street markets, I walked past food stalls emitting this really terrible stench, only to be told by my mum in an incredulous expression that those “stench” were from what I ate few days before. Well….
Thus with such fond memories of my travel in Taiwan, and also since it’s the first place where I started taking photos of food, I finally picked out some photos that I feel are passable to be shown on this blog, after looking through the big database of photos on my Taiwan trip (about 200 of them??).
