    I mean I’m probably not against what you would consider “pandering to whatever the current political narrative is”. Frankly, I’m sure we’re gonna find out in due time that is was preventable via some lesson the aviation industry already learned, and I conjecture that Amazon will be shown to have exacerbated the problems that caused this crash. I just thought it was a bit crass to post this in a meme sub and end it with a cutesy “:3” as if this event was not a tragedy. Like it read to me that the vitriol was being aimed at the people involved in the crash and not Amazon itself, the latter of whom deserves vastly more than vitriol. That’s what I’m reacting to. In fact, these deaths will likely be deeply political. These deaths will be treated as acceptable by the bourgeoisie, the cost of maintaining their luxury and hegemony.







  • Oooh that looks good 😋. If I was running a mom and pop place then yeah that would look pretty good on my menu, but I believe it is compressed (the magic of JPEG is that it’s quite challenging to spot for natural images; I’m going based off the filename), which is technically not ideal for graphic design.

    But if I was running a chain or corporate-facing restaurant, I would probably hire you to retake that photo with a better camera, better lighting, and a team of artists to make your food look better than life.

    Frankly, it’s a different approach. Your photo is good, but for advertising, people are conditioned to prefer better-than-real photos of food. Personally I prefer candid photos of real food like yours, but unfortunately our opinion is in the minority.




  • I’ve taken decent photos of food with my phone before.

    Don’t take this the wrong way, but I suspect that your photos are not actually advertisement quality 😅. In particular, I would assume that your phone is doing a lot of image processing on a crappy sensor, whereas a decent photographer should be able to use their camera (better sensor), lighting, and some better image processing to get a better image. Plus, your phone probably compresses the image before giving it to you.

    If you’re just sandwich shop or cafe you really don’t need a pro. Heck half the cafes I’ve been to don’t even have images of the food items at all.

    Yeah, need is a bit too strong…but if you want to stand out from all the other local restaurants, it might make sense to hire a food photographer.
