the guess game


(taken with nikon f on rdplll)

have you ever experienced this happening that you took a picture of some food, then after finishing some rolls of films including the one which you took the picture of "some food" on you shipped them to some lab to have them developed, you waited some days to have them reached, developed and returned to you, and when you finally see the slides or prints you can't come up with the idea what the "some food" is?
yes, i myself have.
a lot.

so the today's picture is among the ones.
but fortunately i can come up with the idea.
it's oatmeal topped with pan fried egg white with figs and onion.
to get the idea, i had to look closely the relation between the pictures taken before and after this one, and recall what food i adored most at that time.
now, i don't adore this food at all because of the season and my taste.

since i only do film photography, this kind of happenings are so common, and i enjoy this guess game all the time.
i even find the significance of film photography in it. :))

I have the same kind of experience as often!:D But mine is somehow with places or things; I sometimes can't remember and say to myself, "what did I take???" But it's so nice and fun taking with film based cameras and seeing developed photos after a some while to remember trivial things and events, right?;))
