I’ve heard the phrase: PICTURES ARE WORTH 1,000 WORDS… Oh… My entire life.

However, I DON’T TOTALLY AGREE with that statement.

Sometimes pictures only need one or two words… Or no words at all…

And here’s a prime example.

I’ve got TWO WORDS for you: Turtle shit.

See!

There really is nothing left to be said about this horrifically embarrassing food photo that 2013 GiGi deemed high enough quality to represent what she created in the kitchen.

Can you really come up with many more words than that? Tell me in the comments below! 

However, I guess something else I need to add is that that photo ACTUALLY IS FOOD… That was created IN THE KITCHEN and NOT AT THE BEACH on a rainy day.

That beige substance is not sand. And the green poking out is not some algae sludge found when it careened its way onto the shore.

Although… That orange and brown drizzle on top of these “formations”… Yep, you’re right if you’re thinking some sort of animal excrement.

Clearly, I am pulling your leg because even though I sometimes eat some oddities… Things that COME OUT OF AN ANIMAL… Will never make that list.

However…

The vomit-looking concoction in this blender… Made it into my wide open trap… Without my even thinking twice about what I was eating. So I am pretty sure if someone fed me some tasty looking animal shit (with rainbow sprinkles on top?), without telling me what it was… I might actually try it!

Okay, thankfully I have a fully functioning nose, so again, NO that wouldn’t happen, however, the point I am trying to make with THAT sentence brings up another quote I have heard a TON…

WE EAT WITH OUR EYES.

Now this saying… Yep, I fully agree with it, yet for some reason… Back when I started this blog… It was not one of my top mottos to live by… And it’s pretty clear when looking back at some of my old food “photography”.

I cannot give myself credit by calling my past recipe displays as actual photography because um… Well, you’re just going to have to see what I mean in the latest GiGi Eats YouTube Video where I showcase the most repulsive food photos ever published on the blog and how I feel about them… Although I REALLY would have liked to know what Ansel Adams thinks of them… I guess they’re not THAT BAD or else he would have risen from the grave! 

SO TELL ME…

• If you’re a food blogger, show me some of your WORST food photos you’ve ever taken!
• Which of the photos that I highlighted in the video do you think is THE WORST?
• Do you believe the phrase: “a picture is worth 1,000 words”?
• Any of my recipe photos motivate you to want to actually make one?
• Should Pinterest shut down my account due to my shitty photos?
• What is your trick to getting the best food photos (if you think you’re a food photography wizard)?!
