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.

Look, I have a photo blog!

I decided to jump deeper into the world of blogging. Yes, I have decided to start a photo blog, and you probably guessed it; it’ll be more pictures of food.

Why more food? Besides me being really obsessed about food. I want to make a place I can post most every day a picture. I have a lot of pictures of food that haven’t seen the light of day and this provides a good place to put them. I like it as a place for inspiration, also it’s just some nice candy, can you say food porn? Though I do reserve the right to post some non-food photos. If it seems worthwhile, it’ll be there.

There’s a link at the top of this page along with “about, links” that’ll take you there. Or you can type in photos.cameronrolka.com. If you haven’t noticed a while ago I bought http://www.cameronrolka.com so either that or cameronrolka.wordpress.com will get you to my main blog page.

Well that takes care of some 21st century housekeeping… I hope you enjoy the photoblog!
