From the right, you see the crispy and crunchy nachos. From the
left, you see the cheddar cheese, the guacamole and the jalapenos. From the
bird’s view, you see it all; except for the way the cheese melts on the side
and the little bits and pieces hiding at the bottom. But really, which side is
the perfect side of the plate of nachos?

In this generation, you don’t see the flashing lighters at
concerts anymore or disposable cameras in the hands of little children. Now,
you see the flash from iphones, htcs, samsungs, and all different kinds of
technology. Since these devices were introduced, there are those functions that
we once could not use right away, like capture a moment right in the palms of
our hands without regretting that we forgot our digital camera laying at home.
More importantly, in these days, there’s been something lurking in our social
media that’s tempting everyone to start foodtography.

This has become a great
hit among students, teachers, parents, and children and mostly in the Asian countries.
This is only because Asia spends so much time creating the perfect picture of
food that it has become a moment to commemorate. With the social media we
currently use, like facebook, flick, tumblr, instagram, foursquare and a lot
more, it’s easy to take a picture and post it. Whether it’s to show what you’re
currently munching on or to show where you are having lunch or breakfast, it’s
a way to share and remember the places that you’ve been. “Researchers have recently completed a research
study on the psychology of food” says Weiss. Weiss defined the psychology of
food as a way to document and commemorate our everyday lives. As if every plate
of food we devourer is a statement or page of our own personal book. Right
before you stab your fork into that plate of nachos and destroy that perfect
image that was once beautiful when it arrived at your table, you have the chance
to capture it and put it into your own personal book.
The best part is, food looks good and it makes us feel good.
If we ever have a bad day, you can still find a beautiful bowl of ramen or a
green tea cheesecake. Even if everything isn’t going the way it should be, food
can always go the way you want it to. It can still promise you that even when
the day’s dark and nightfall is coming, something good will happen as long as
you want it to. Something perfect can be a part of that day and every other
day.
