Well done being 1st this week buddy and is great to have you joining in. I get your mixed feelings with photographing meals because the same act could be in different ways. It’s so popular now to share moments like that it of a cheap desire for attention and social status borne out of insecurity.
That act which should illicit sympathy and efforts to understand how that person feels and why they feel they need towers of likes to be, instead often feels tacky because it’s an illness which is encouraged by general society and often turned into a business.
It is definitely possible to photograph a meal because you love and and want to remember it, or to share the occasion with loved ones, which both seem wholesome and healthy activities. It’s kinda like a stereotype I guess. It’s so common now it’s difficult not to see it and assume.
