Is a Food Blog a Good Idea for Me?

Screw the other blogs (no, not really…I really like them!). This is about me! This is my adventure in food in how MY eyes see it. I should aspire to become a food blog like the ones I saw last nite. For now, I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing and if people like what they see and read, they will come! Sorry for the outburst last nite, it was late and I was cranky. Yes, I’m a human being. Thanks for your support!

I just finished looking at several food blogs here in The OC and realize that I have crappy photos and that I’m small change compared to the other OC food bloggers. I came across some new blogs tonight and now feel like I’m nothing compared to these bloggers. Seeing these blogs just wants me to be afraid and crawl into my cave and stop this endeavor. These sites have such wonderful pictures and content!
Rule #1: We eat with our eyes first.
Check out some of these new blogs I found tonight:
Then there is my new friend Matt from MattBites

I want a site like those. Me and my iPhone camera, who am I kidding? I have a Nikon camera that also is a piece of crap. I felt so discouraged after tonight. As I spent time building this site from scratch several weeks ago I was so excited. I was hoping to meet other people out there just like me, then all of a sudden I felt small and out of my league.
Sigh. I need to go to bed and sleep this off.

Your initial question is perfect: Is it a good idea for YOU? This shouldn’t be a contest with others. If the blog is something you want to do, then forge ahead! I for one will be reading.
Hi Scott, There are so many wonderful food blogs out there and at the same time we can never have enough. Welcome to the food blogging community. I look forward to seeing food through your eyes. Thank you for the mention… I am always surprised/shocked when people like it… or even actually even read it. :)
