I don't mind food photos, even when they clog up my Instagram feed or distract me from my dinner companion. As long as they are interesting and tell me something I don't know or might not have experienced otherwise, I think they are a great expression of social networking. I spotted today's Photo of the Day in the Gadling Flickr pool taken by Ladyexpat of a Som Tom Salad. This turns out to be ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Jan 26th, 2013 at 12:00PM: A big topic around the water cooler Twitter this week is a New York Times story on restaurants and food photography. Some chefs like David Bouley encourage snapping photos of your dishes, even going so far as letting you in the kitchen to get the best shot, while others like Momofuku's David Chang have outright banned cameras. Restaurateurs argue that constantly whipping out your phone to document ...Photo Of The Day: Sea Creatures In Penang

The rise of social media and photo-sharing platforms like Instagram has meant an increase in the number of photos floating around the Internet of particularly appetizing, unappetizing, and downright inedible foods. This has lead to a certain backlash, with articles bemoaning this trend, asking people to stop taking pictures of their meals. Still, I think there is a place for it in the world of ...Food Landscapes: Carl Warner replicates landscapes with food
Dec 29th, 2011 at 2:00PM: If you've ever gazed upon a landscape so rich you'd like to just eat it, you might be interested in Carl Warner's Food Landscapes. Warner is a British photographic artist with, you could say, a taste for travel. He's an architect of edible landscapes. With minimal Photoshop assistance, Warner creates fantastical images of believable landscapes... but there's a twist: the trees in the image are ...Photo of the day - What's for dinner?

Many of us have a certain "thing" we like to photograph when traveling. For some, it's food. For Gadling blogger Mike Barish, it's amusing signs, as well as himself with various SkyMall products. Personally, I like graffiti, like today's photo from Portugal taken by Flickr user Rita Moreno. The graffiti is practically arty in it's framing, colors, and even the tears in the paint seem thoughtful ...New photography book on food and travel profiles meals around the world
Dec 27th, 2010 at 2:00PM: There are a few key things that unite mankind, one of which is the need to eat. Whether the act itself is one of indulgence or subsistence is largely a cultural and geographic, and not just economic, issue. It's this dichotomy that forms the theme for a fascinating new addition to the food and travel book genre.

Jul 2nd, 2009 at 11:00AM: This week, I received an email from Gadling reader, Brenda: I read your post on choosing lenses and I was curious as to how big exactly a macro lens is because all the other lenses were identified by their length in mm and I couldn't find a precise range for the size of a macro lens by searching on google so im not sure what it is. I would appreciate it if you could clear this up for me. This is ...
