EXTREEEEEME CLOSE-UP

I'm pretty good with tech, but cameras and I have never really gotten along.

One of my favorite writers from another website I'm involved with said:
Get to know the macro features on your camera a whole lot better. Like it or not, food blogs are identified with food porn these days, and I suspect that awkward blurry closeups just won't do...
She was right; I hadn't realized it until just now.

I hadn't eaten all day so I made myself a sandwich for lunch and, while photographing it (which has become a sick sort of habit, let me tell you) I figured out what I was doing wrong or, if I were being honest, where the stupid macro button was hiding.

Expect to see a bunch more pictures like this:
...going forward.

Every time I look at that photo, I have an extreme diner craving. Gr.

What kind of cheese did you use? That looks impossibly good.

Land o' Lakes American from the deli. Say what you will about American cheese, nothing else out there melts like that.

Its only problem is that it's a little salty, especially once bacon enters the mix like it tends to when my back is turned.

One of these days I'm going to try grilled cheese with unsalted butter, see if that manages to balance it out.
