Acouple of weeks ago some of my LJ friends posted their annoyance with food_porn and noted a new food lovers community - food_snobbery. This might be more in keeping with what you would like to do.
They do it in the needlework world, too; up to and including prodigious admonitions against making copies of the charts when it makes perfect sense (and is, incidentally, covered under Fair Use) to make 400% enlargements of sections of the chart and work from those. Have you ever seen some of those charts? 1pt type is enormous by comparison.
Of course, those people (I apply the term generously) are, by and large, moos who haven't been out of the house in years, with no view of the world beyond their eight sproggen's dirty diapers. Their view of their output as the next best thing to the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel gives them a feeling of importance.
Well, and let's face it, they certainly aren't Julia Child because THAT woman shared everything she ever knew about cooking! With everybody!
One would think that if one had a real feel for food, it's because there is something instinctively nurturing in them--a desire to feed.
I don't trust any cook that doesn't have that in them, and these twats certainly don't.
I can't imagine that their food is any good at all, no matter how photogenic it might be.
But yeah, I guess those ladies with those four walls have to do something to keep them from opening a vein in a warm tub, when they realize that their lives just aren't what they could have been...
Yeah, I have a few (very few) recipes I will not share, but I do not go around posting pictures of the product and then not sharing the recipe. That is simply just plain tacky. I guess their mommas never taught them any manners.
Oh, and yeah--her lovely PIKELETS, fer chrissake....
They're PANCAKES--and I could go to any diner in the area and take pictures of them to my heart's content--HUNDREDS of them.
And you know, she tries to excuse it--"don't want people to 'steal' the pictures and pass them off as their own"...
Oh yeah--THAT would be the end of the frellin' world as we know it, wouldn't it? I mean, geez, imagine what would happen if those pictures of pancakes fell into the wrong hands, eh? Imagine a pancake picture thief making thousands and thousands of dollars on the ill-gotten fruits of this poor bitch's labor, eh?
If you don't want to share, then watermark them, or DON'T POST THEM ON THE NET!!!
