I recently started using Instagram. It's a great tool for getting interesting pictures of landscapes, architecture, and people, but when it comes to food, it's hard not to have your photos turn out looking like something from a 1970s picture menu from the Soviet Union. Case in point:
Toast with tomato, cream cheese, basil, and pepper.
Toast with refried beans and cheese.
The toaster itself.
In real life, all of these looked great and tasted delicious, but when processed with various strange filters, the result looks like something you'd feel guilty feeding to the dog. I may have to stick with my nice camera when it comes to toast pictures. Or do you, dear reader, have any suggestions?
Keep toasty!

i appreciate your dilemma, comrade. it may simply be that instagram is better suited to making people's skin look flawless/dewy, or making flowers look *extra* magenta. nothing against toast's inherent sexiness, but i'd recommend either going black and white with the more ... industrial (?) shots of toast (those including toasters, for example) and sticking to your camera for anything involving refritos, for which instagram may not be prepared. that is all i have to say about the matter.
