I remember during the 90's, digital cameras does not exist or should I say it is not yet out in the public for commercial use. Also, cameras are little bit expensive at that time and it requires to buy a film consisting of only limited shots. The appearance of local restaurants before are very simple and the interiors are just not that quite good compare to today's modern restaurants. During that time, we tend to be frugal in taking photos by only capturing precious moments inside the restaurant. People that time do not take photos of their food or even capture the interior of a restaurant.      

Lucky for us, we are now enjoying  the modern technology of digital cameras. Today, even our phones can be a medium in taking photos for it has a built-in camera and we can take a lot of photos and then share it through the internet. I should say technology is very fast, for I have observed that almost every week tech-giants and other tech-companies produced new gadgets that are better than the old ones. The birth of photo-sharing applications also lead the way for us to share our photos.

 Nowadays, restaurants are not only competing for the best food but also competing for the best interior designs. People of today are now taking photos of their food and also the interior of the restaurant. Restaurant owners are very happy to those people taking photos about their restaurant's attractive design and luscious food for they will have a free advertisement  from the people who are posting it to their social networking sites. 

Me also took photos about a restaurant and post it on my social networking sites and tell my friends about it.  Particularly, I took photos of their food and captured some sneak-peak inside of the restaurant. Sometimes, I discover a restaurant through a friend's post in the internet with a hash-tag sign foodporn or #foodporn. I just love taking pictures of anything inside a restaurant for a reason that I always find interesting things to shot like the restaurant's artistic interior and scrumptious-looking food. 

These photos below are examples of what I do when I eat at a restaurant. I took this photo at The Old Spaghetti House in Cubao, Quezon City with a NIKON COOLPIX S4150 point and shoot camera. I did some post-processing of the photo by enhancing brightness and the contrast since my camera is not that good as the DSLR cameras.The ambiance is nice, I like the vintage concept of the interior and most of all the food is delicious. Now having done editing with these photos, I can now share it in the internet and post it with the #foodporn!
