Sometimes, it frustrates me to take macro shots of food. I never seem to get it right. Here’s one more practice with macro.
I don’t think there is an exact word in English equal to Taho. Wiki says it is soy/bean curd pudding, a comfort food just like pan de sal among us Filipinos. It is a snack food made of fresh soft tofu, mixed with a flavoring and sweetener we call arnibal and sago pearls. Sago are small tapioca pearls that are tasteless without the other ingredients.
Every morning, a taho vendor would pass by our place shouting “Tahooo, tahooo”. I was always tempted to buy but haven’t got around to make him stop in front of our gate until this morning. It’s been so long since I tasted one. Oh my, I’ve missed it. It is best to eat it while the tofu is still warm.
What it is that makes you capture that one particular scene, embedding it in your memory? What it is that makes you admire those lovely blooms and flowers all around? For some, it might just be a small shoot of flower on the wayside but for the photographer’s eye, it is a beautiful creation of colors . And freezing those moments in a photograph, clicking the shutter in a blink are moments worth remembering. Color me green, color me orange, it would not matter, what is important is capturing the beauty of something in a photograph.
