To attract hungry customers to their restaurants, cafés, and gourmet shops, chefs have taken the initiative to photograph their dishes. They prepare their specialties to create portraits that will immortalize their beauty forever, hoping they’ll make a huge splash with foodies wandering the streets in search of a meal.
Although a photograph can capture a particular moment of perfection, it itself, as an object, becomes increasingly dated. A fresh photo of ham and eggs will begin to deteriorate if it is not properly treated and protected. Overexposure to sunlight and the elements gives it a very short shelf life. Unconsciously, perhaps, we are all capable of seeing beyond the ravages of time and, when we are hungry, of accepting the photograph’s utility rather than its beauty. Beauty, after all, is in the eye of the beholder—who, sooner or later, will be hungry.
