The Greek restaurant I had scouted out over a week ago was (a week ago Sunday) every bit as wonderful as I had hoped. I chose the grilled lamb and this is what I got. YES, the presentation was absolutely pleasing to the eye (especially with a wee bit too much ouzo, a potent, anise-flavored Greek liqueur aperitif already inside me!).
But NO, it was not everything! The taste was to die for. And when I told Donica it was the best lamb I've ever eaten, she laughed and said, "Ginnie, you say that every time!" HA.
So it made me think about photography and some of the blogger comments going back-n-forth. Almost all of our photos have to be "enhanced/corrected/adjusted" to make them more "presentable." That's what programs like PhotoShop do, on which I'm just now scratching the surface.
Which raises the question about photography: is presentation everything?
Who, you, PG, dopey? HA. I doubt it. In fact, I quite agree with your response here. Photography IS presentation. It may not always be "good" presentation but regardless, it evokes an emotion. I like that.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for your kind remarks, as always. You make me want to get better and better :)
