Foodporn and markets

I’m playing around with my blog format to make it more photo friendly. I realized my photos just weren’t looking as good as they should be. Hopefully less stuff on the sidebar, hover captions, and larger images with a more pleasing aspect ratio will do the trick. I’ll be playing around with it as I have lots of photos to share.

What’s better to try showing off photos than some foodporn? Yes please.

Many of these pictures come from the market (mercat de la boqueria) on the main Rambla in Barcelona. My friend Aren and I bought copious amounts of fruit and fresh squeezed juices there. The juices are something like 10 oz cups for 1 euro each, so every time we’d go to the market we’d start buying a bunch of juices trying to find our favorite combination. And if you go late in the day sometimes they start giving you deals; one evening I got 5 juices for 2 euros. Serious score, kinda like getting the whole can on a airplane flight. One day we also bought 8 kilos (about 18 lbs) of fruit for just 6 euros. Mandarins, lychees, mangoes, and pomegranates oh my.

  1. Cameron, this is awesome! The changes to the blog look great, and the photos are making me want to go traveling… or at least, farmer’s marketing. :P
    I especially love “what better way to garnish your produce than with the dirt it came in?” – brillaint.

    Also, I hear you’re back in the states, now… you’ll have to let me know when you’re headed back to A2, we have catching up to do!
