Truth be told, three things inspired this blog entry: 1) Rachel‘s blog on the subject, and 2) New York Magazine, and 3) my hunger.
Like travel photography, the goal of food photography is to make you want to eat the food you’re looking at. I first saw this Hannah Whitaker photo from a new pizza joint called “Co.” (pronounced “Company” they tell me), and I thought I must go there. Her photo made me very hungry.

I did go there on opening night, and it was delicious. Hannah, you might recall, took the photo of the bunny with the rainbow on its side. However, there was no rabbit pizza to be seen anywhere.
Then I saw this Christopher Anderson photo of an egg, and a woman eating a steak, and I started to get very hungry.

Mr. Anderson seems to like a harder light than Ms. Whitaker. The steak is looking medium rare. I’m usually more of a medium guy, but heck, I’ll take it. Also, who are these people that get to be photographed eating food? I’d like that job, please.
Unfortunately, it’s expensive to eat out in the city, particularly when one is contemplating lunch. Since I refuse to eat “street meat” like my compatriot, Thom, perhaps it’ll end up being this. Sorry, no photo credit:
